John Chapman Construction LLC, based in Washington, Pennsylvania, has established itself as a prominent union-industrial contractor specializing in mechanical, electrical, civil, and HVAC construction services over its 75-year history. Founded by John W. Chapman shortly after his engineering studies, the company quickly evolved to meet the diverse needs of its industrial customers, providing comprehensive construction capabilities across multiple sectors, including natural gas, power, steel, chemicals, and glass.
In 1945, the company expanded with a civil construction group to offer an integrated approach, combining mechanical and electrical services with civil engineering. This strategic growth allowed Chapman Corporation to balance projects across various industries by the 1970s. With a commitment to performance and safety, the company has received numerous accolades for its safety measures and approach, proving its dedication to accident prevention as a top priority in all operations.
In recent years, leadership has transitioned to Joan Chapman, who took over in 2017, making the company a Women-Owned Business. Her extensive experience in every facet of the business ensures continuity of the values and dedication that drove the company's early success. Under her guidance and the recent presidency of Chris “Chip” Cipoletti, who has a deep-rooted history with the firm, the company remains committed to delivering high-quality service, on-time project completion, and customer satisfaction.
In addition to construction services, John Chapman Construction LLC offers fabrication and engineering services, supporting projects with on-time delivery and a focus on constructability. It also provides maintenance solutions for industrial plants, showcasing its versatile capabilities in both new construction and ongoing operational support. Furthermore, the company has emerged as a leader in constructing cryogenic processing facilities, fulfilling over 90% of the work as a general contractor, cementing its reputation as an industry leader.
