Happy Retirement, Curly Collier

August 6, 2026

After decades of dedication to the construction industry, we’re celebrating a well-earned retirement for a valued member of the CROFTON team, Curly Collier.

Curly joined CROFTON in 2014, bringing decades of marine construction experience and a wealth of knowledge that helped strengthen our team. Before joining CROFTON, Curly spent many years with Tidewater-Skanska, where he contributed to numerous marine infrastructure projects throughout Hampton Roads and beyond, including the Bridge of Lions in St. Augustine, FL, and the Cooper River Bridge in Charleston, SC.

Brandon Griffin, Director of Construction, shared, “I’ve had the opportunity to work with Curly for the past seven years and learned so much from him. I wish him the absolute best in his retirement. He will certainly be missed!”

Thank you, Curly, for your years of hard work, dedication, and leadership. We’re grateful for everything you’ve contributed to CROFTON and wish you all the best in this next chapter!

Reconstructing the Waterfront Bulkhead at Volvo Penta Marina

June 26, 2026

The CROFTON Construction Services team recently completed the reconstruction of approximately 250 linear feet of waterfront bulkhead at Volvo Penta Marina, delivering a durable shoreline stabilization solution designed to protect the waterfront for years to come.

The project improved drainage and stormwater performance, enhanced marina infrastructure and aesthetics, and restored long-term reliability to this critical section of shoreline.

A big shout out to our Construction Services team for their hard work on the waterfront!

The 50th Annual Harborfest and Sail250 Virginia

June 23, 2026

If you know CROFTON, you know we love Harborfest!

And this year was one for the books, celebrating the 50th anniversary of Harborfest alongside the arrival of Sail250 Virginia in Hampton Roads!

CROFTON was proud to serve as a sponsor of Sail250 Virginia and to be part of an event that brought together historic tall ships and thousands of people who share a connection to the waterfront.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to visit us. Whether it was to learn more about our work or just to help us celebrate, we appreciated your company!

CROFTON Joins in Historic Event: The Port of Virginia’s Deepest, Widest Channel Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony

June 18, 2026

It was an honor to be part of a historic day at NIT as we celebrated The Port of Virginia’s Deepest, Widest Channel Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony.

CROFTON cranes proudly displayed the American and Virginia flags during this morning’s event, marking a milestone that will benefit our port and maritime community for generations to come.

Completed in late February, the dredging deepened the channel to 55 feet, making the Port of Virginia the deepest port on the East Coast. With the final depth verification now complete, this transformational investment will help accommodate larger vessels and strengthen the Port of Virginia’s role as a critical gateway for global commerce.

We’re proud to call this port home and grateful to play even a small part in celebrating its continued growth.
