Zachry Construction\u2019s longstanding roots in San Antonio date back to the founding of H.B. Zachry Co. in 1924 by Henry Bartell \u201cPat\u201d Zachry. The business was passed onto son\u00a0Bartell Zachry, who grew the company into a world-renowned presence in the construction industry.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2008, the Zachry Co. was restructured into two separate entities\u00a0\u2014 Zachry Corp. and Zachry Group\u00a0\u2014 each based\u00a0in San Antonio and led by one of Bartell Zachry\u2019s sons.<\/p>\n

David Zachry assumed ownership of Zachry Corp., which encompasses multiple companies, including Zachry Construction. His brother, John Zachry, took control of Zachry Group, which handles industrial projects in the power and petrochemical sectors, industrial engineering and maintenance.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Travis Mross has spent years working his way up through the ranks at Zachry Construction Corp.\u00a0\u2014 from intern…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":262847,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[82,84,83],"class_list":{"0":"post-262846","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-antonio","8":"tag-san-antonio","9":"tag-san-antonio-headlines","10":"tag-san-antonio-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262846","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=262846"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262846\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/262847"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=262846"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=262846"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=262846"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
