Skaros says, including work with the Ministry of Highways on road maintenance in and around the area. More ambitiously, Skaros also hopes to push A2SKI into small modular reactor development, something he calls “a big passion” of his. In the meantime, A2SKI wants to grow its roster of community-based subcontractors. By the end of 2024, Skaros is hoping for somewhere between 75 and 100 people working on most A2SKI sites, a goal he says is very attainable given the volume of work bestowed on A2SKI. On a much broader scale, the company is emphasizing sustainability. It’s not only about pure growth; a balance of busy construction projects and community initiatives is key. “That’s something that’s ongoing,” says Skaros. “No lulls. We don’t want to be diving, putting all of our eggs in one basket. We want to make sure we’re looking at everything, but we want to be responsible with that.” That all-encompassing outlook aligns perfectly with the culture being championed at A2SKI. Merasty outlines the company’s cause-driven mission and authentic relationships as two key elements that set a high floor for success. “Construction is not easy,” explains Merasty. “It’s global. It can be dangerous … Most construction projects around the world suffer from schedule creep, cost creep, and so on. If you want to be an outlier, you have to be better.” So, what’s the third element Merasty wants to see? “Continually building capacity and seeking to be better,” says Merasty. The thirst for constant improvement cannot be forgotten. And, in just two years, that high-powered mentality has turned A2SKI into a budding industrial superpower with a bright future ahead. 103 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 11, ISSUE 04 A2SKI INDUSTRIAL
