In January 1994, SRP contracted Irby Construction to build 256 miles of 500kV transmission line between Mead and Phoenix, including 956 towers. The project was successfully delivered to SRP in September 1995.

Our longtime motto a

Our longtime motto and mission at Irby Construction Company is Absolute Performance. It's the standard we hold ourselves to every day: showing up, working with purpose, and taking ownership of every outcome.

That commitment was front and center on July 12, when superintendents and field leaders from across Irby gathered in Jackson, Mississippi, for our annual Superintendents' Meeting where our leaders and guest speaker Paul Walker reinforced the ownership mindset and leadership that continue to drive our success.

There’s nothing quite like bringing the Legend Foundation Services Cooking Team to the table! 🍽️

Legend, a division of Irby Construction based in Geismar, Louisiana, recently rolled its mobile kitchen up to Irby HQ in Richland, Mississippi, serving up a lunch that brought a little taste of Louisiana for all:
🦞 Crawfish Étouffée
🐟 Fried Catfish
🥔 Potato Casserole
🐷 Pulled Pork Sandwiches
🤠 Cowboy Beans

For Legend, cooking for others is about more than a good meal. It’s become another way to show up, build community, and take care of people, whether that’s feeding families and volunteers after a disaster or feeding coworkers across the Southeast.

Thank you to all who showed up and showed out!
