President’s Message
Ye a r i n Re v i e w
2015 was an impressive year for the company on many fronts. Most importantly, our company continued its sterling safety
performance with industry leading safety metrics for EMR and recordable/incident rates all while self performing some of
the industry’s most challenging heavy civil projects. Our continuing ability to compete and successfully execute projects in
all types of market segments sets us apart. This year was especially exciting to see the resounding success of the Ameren
Illinois River’s project work and the successful completion (3 months ahead of schedule) of Terre Haute Wastewater
Treatment Plant Additions & Improvements, the largest project in company history.
I am exceedingly thankful for the exceptional group of individuals that make up the Plocher team. Thank you to the clients
and stakeholders that allow us the opportunities to display our talents and our outstanding family of employees for safely
executing the challenging work. Wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday season.
Scott Plocher

Ameren Illinois Rivers Project
December 2015
2015 was a safe and prosperous year for the Plocher organization. Our work
volumes matched the high amounts from recent years with revenues approaching
$100MM. Although Plocher has never been focused on being a “large company”,
our modestly sized staff’s continuing successful execution of this large backlog is a
true illustration of what makes our company special.
The year was highlighted by our ongoing work on the exciting Ameren Illinois River’s
transmission line projects. Our crews tackled complicated worksites and constantly
changing conditions throughout central Illinois all while working in a safe and
efficient manner. The company started two five story signature office/retail building
projects, completed the westbound bridge replacement on I70 at Vandalia, and
successfully finished the $116MM Terre Haute WWTP.
Through it all, the Plocher team continued to reinforce our reputation as the
contractor of choice for the most challenging projects our industry has to offer.
