This award is presented to companies who register a safety score between 85% – 95% in the program.
“Corrado American LLC has done a remarkable job of implementing a strong safety management system. In addition to keeping employees safe, safety performance of this caliber should reduce their insurance premiums,” says Garrett Burke, CEO of ConstructSecure.
The Safety Assessment Program reviews a company’s historic safety performance and current safety management systems. The platform normalizes data for vendor or contractor size and type of work performed.
The program provides thorough, objective and consistent evaluation of company performance so clients can identify, monitor, and manage risk smarter. The results provide a strong indicator of how a vendor or contractor values safety and a reliable predictor of future performance.
At Corrado American, we lead with safety, and it is embedded into our company values. We are proud to have a strong track record in safety with an incident rate that is consistently better than others in the industry. There is always room for improvement, and we will continue to prioritize our safety and compliance programs and efforts, ensuring our employees and subcontractors go home safely every day.
Braskem Rail Yard was recently recognized with a Largest Land Lease of 2020 Award from the Mid Atlantic Real Estate Journal. Corrado American performed the site work for this rail yard and capping project.
D2 Organization, Braskem Rail Yard at Delaware River Works
Location: 6300 Philadelphia Pike, Claymont, DE
Size: 13-acre ground lease and build-to-suit of a 240-car railyard for Braskem America.

D2 collaborated with local, regional, and state authorities on the project. The project was completed timely and was on-line to support Braskem’s efforts in producing polypropylene used to make non-woven fabric for PPE such as N95 masks, hospital gowns and hoods, hair nets and sanitary wipes; Items in high demand during the 2020 COVID pandemic.
New Castle, DE – October 16, 2019 – Corrado American facilitated a trench rescue training session over the weekend, hosted by the New Castle County Special Operations Team. All state of Delaware county teams participated in this important training to learn about the equipment used in trench rescues, the anatomy of a trench and how to work as a team during a rescue.
Corrado American provided the site, CAT excavator and our own operator Billy Paige for the training session.
Two trenches were set up and both new and experienced rescuers were able to practice scenario-based rescues such as a victim trapped under a concrete pipe and a side wall collapse. The teams focused on deep trenches, lifting and moving, and failed trenches.
This is critical training for our emergency responders and Corrado American is honored we were able to help those who help us.
Thank you Corrado American for your support. It was an amazing class.”
