Yes, we poured a foundation. It`s made of steel and concrete and engineered to withstand tons of weight.
But this foundation will also support the thousands of patients and families who receive care at the new Carilion Taubman Cancer Center in Roanoke, Virginia.
When this state-of-the-art-and-science cancer center opens, it will give residents throughout southwest Virginia easier access to the leading oncology specialists, technology, treatments, and support.
Keep an eye on the progress of this incredible cancer center. We can’t wait until it opens to the community.

For the past several years, Branch has helped transform Route 58 over Lover’s Leap—one of Southwest Virginia’s most challenging corridors—into a safer, more modern roadway.
Along the way, our team partnered to restore the South Mayo River by removing outdated dams and bridge piers—improving safety, reducing erosion, and reopening nearly 10 miles of habitat for local fish and wildlife.
Proud to build better infrastructure while protecting what makes this region special. ...

We’re making progress on the Roanoke County Career & Technology Center.
Inside the building, finishing trades are moving through in phases — with flooring, casework, and acoustical features taking shape as work continues across different areas of the project. This approach allows teams to stay efficient and keep progress moving.
Out on site, crews are fine grading, completing stormwater management ponds, and getting started on asphalt, monument signage, and traffic signal work along Peters Creek Road. ...

#ThrowbackThursday
This 3.8M SF Amazon Distribution Center in Suffolk, VA came together through strong coordination and early planning.
Branch was responsible for all sitework on the 89-acre site including clearing, earthwork, utilities, stormwater systems, paving, and more. By mobilizing early and working through winter conditions, our team helped enable building construction to begin just 45 days after mobilization.
A great example of teamwork and execution across the project team. ...
