Western Remac, Inc.

Todd Fiegl is the Vice President of Construction of Western Remac, Inc.  A 1991 graduate of Clarkson University with a B.S. Degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering, Todd is also a licensed professional engineer, registered in the state of Illinois.  Todd’s civil engineering background is in the construction industry where he has spent his entire career. 

Perini Corporation hired Todd out of college.  After a year long tour in the estimating department of their Framingham, MA based office, Todd was transferred to Chicago to work on the Deep Tunnel Project.  There Todd spent time as a project engineer.  It was on this project where Todd learned the construction business from the field.  Duties such as construction layout and surveying, field measurements, shop drawing preparation and review, quantity tracking and reporting, and construction safety were daily tasks which formed the basis of Todd’s construction background.  After several years at Perini Corporation, Todd shifted his focus out of underground construction and into road building and general contracting.

Prior to working at WRI, Todd spent four years as project manager in the Heavy and Highway division for the largest contractor in Illinois, Walsh Construction Company.  In this capacity, Todd was responsible for the complete construction of transportation projects ranging in size from $4.5 million to $23 million.  Daily tasks consisted of owner correspondence, maintenance of the job cost report, preparation and maintenance of the project CPM schedule, submission of monthly pay estimates, supervision of two project superintendents and up to four project engineers, and management of equipment fleets consisting of as many as 50 pieces of heavy equipment. 

Todd is responsible for the contracting division of WRI.  Responsibilities include seeking and bidding on new project opportunities, managing a staff of 3 project managers, 1 estimator, and one general superintendent, managing selected projects, engineering support for contracting operations, and contract management.

Currently, Todd is a member of the Illinois Road and Transportation Builders Association and both the National and Illinois Society of Professional Engineers.
