Project Overview

A public, schedule-driven project in the heart of downtown Charleston.

Appalachian Power Park is a downtown municipal ballpark located in Charleston, West Virginia. The project created a professional baseball facility within an active urban setting and required careful coordination of construction activity, schedule progression, site logistics, and communication among project stakeholders

This project is included as representative experience from Sean Adkins’ prior construction management work with BBLCarlton, LLC. It reflects the type of practical construction judgement, coordination, and project awareness that informs the work of Adkins Construction Group today

Construction Management Experience

High-visibility public projects require steady coordination, clear communication, and practical construction judgement from early site activity through completion

This project is included as representative experience from Sean Adkins’ prior construction management work with BBLCarlton, LLC. The work required attention to construction progress, schedule movement, site logistics, coordination between project participants, and the day-to-day realities of delivering a public facility in an active downtown environment

The experience behind this project continues to inform Adkins Construction Group’s approach today: helping owners understand project conditions, anticipate challenges, communicate clearly, and make informed construction decisions
