Spotlight on Hammond-Mitchell, Inc.
Headquartered in Covington and specializing in heavy civil construction, Hammond-Mitchell, Inc. was incorporated in Alleghany County, Virginia in 1968 by John B. Mitchell, Sr. and the late Frank Hammond, III. HMI performs civil construction work such as bridge and road construction, site-grading and development, utility installation, concrete services, sheet-piling/shoring installation and other various services for the commercial industry.
Through the decades, HMI has maintained its original mission of delivering superior construction services across the Alleghany Highlands and beyond with its well-qualified staff and a full fleet of heavy construction equipment. Each project is constructed with the highest consideration for safety, quality, value and the environment.
Some ongoing and upcoming projects for HMI across the region include:
- Soon beginning construction at the Ingalls Field Airport in Bath County, VA. The project includes installation of new utilities, grading and drainage improvements, new asphalt pavement, demolition of the existing airport terminal building and other miscellaneous items to prepare the site for the installation of a new airport terminal building anticipated to begin construction in the spring of 2025.
- Working with a general contractor and design engineering firm to provide estimation and construction services for the installation of three bridges in Alleghany County that are currently out for bid and slated to begin construction in June of 2025.
- Providing ongoing construction services to the local paper mill and on-call jobs and services for the localities.
When asked what it means to them to support our Alleghany Highlands community, HMI shared, “It is very important and meaningful to HMI to be able to serve the Alleghany Highlands as a leader in general construction in the region. We are very proud of the place we call home and it is our pleasure to invest our time and resources into giving back to the community and providing services that improve and help sustain our area for generations to come. We hope that our reputation and work is an encouragement and a motivation to the next generation of locals that will be the driving force behind another successful 50 years for HMI.”
