BONHAM â As construction on Bois dâArc Lake in Fannin County continues, construction on Lake Ralph Hall near Ladonia is about to get underway.
Both projects are the only new lake construction in Texas in about 35 years, and both are meant to help address water needs as the growing Dallas metroplex stretches further into Northeast Texas.
Larry Patterson, executive director for Upper Trinity Regional Water District, visited with Fannin County Commissioners on Tuesday to discuss Lake Ralph Hall. Plans call for construction to begin in June with possible wrap up by December 2025. The projectâs permit allows construction through December 2026, Patterson said.
While the coronavirus has affected all construction companies operations, it hasn t done so evenly. That was evident in the first quarter results of Fluor and Granite, with one company seeing double digit decreases, and the other eking out flat gains for the period.
Irving, Texas-based Fluor announced decreases in both revenue and backlog during its first-quarter earnings call Friday.
The company reported $2.9 billion in revenue for Q1 2021, down from $4.1 billion from the same period in 2020, a 29% decrease.
Backlog for the quarter, which concluded March 31, was $23.8 billion, compared to $31.4 billion in the same period of 2020, a 24% decrease. Results for the quarter were consistent with our expectations as we start to work past the effects of COVID-19 on our projects and operations, CEO David Constable said.
