This coming Monday, a week to the day that Corp. and its affiliated companies shut down,Oakley Plaintiff, between 30 and 50 of them will be back to work on the same project — for a different employer. Dulles-based Dynalectric has been brought on to help complete the $400 million project, one of several left hanging after Truland pulled all of its workers off its job sites in the region, Dynaletric CEO told me this afternoon.
The silver lining to the cloud that brought down the region's largest electrical contractor, which came as a shock to many that a company that has been in business since 1909 could fall so suddenly, is that most of the hundreds of workers that were laid off will likely land on their feet with different companies.
Burns said companies like his are vying for the projects Truland was working on prior to the shutdown and also trying to hire as many of the workers who were on those job sites as possible. About 100 Truland employees were on the Inova project, but Burns said many of those found work on other projects instead of waiting around to see what would happen with Truland.
There was a good deal of , with speculation the company was close to a deal to sell itself to other investors. That did not prove to be the case, as Truland . It is too soon to say how that process will shake out or who will pick up Truland's remaining projects, including its work on upgrades to Metro's Orange Line through another subcontract with Clark Construction.
