Wendel is a nationally recognized design and construction firm providing services across the country. 3480 Group, founded by Fulton “Flip” Johnson and Thurman Thomas, is a project management company dedicated to the construction, telecommunications and oil/gas/energy industries.
Key components of this agreement are centered on project collaboration, management, design and technology. An example would be improving K-12 learning environments in low income areas where students are falling behind.
