A group of pension and trust funds for local electrical workers has filed petitions to force companies affiliated with Truland Group into bankruptcy amid reports that the Reston,Va.-based electrical contractor is winding down operations, The Washington Post reported yesterday. The petitions filed on Tuesday ask the judge to begin chapter 7 proceedings against various Truland affiliates. Truland Group has been run by the Truland family since its founding in 1909 and has provided electrical construction services on major Washington, D.C.-area projects such as national parks, Arena Stage and the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center. It has also worked on projects in the government sector, including for the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI. According to the company’s website, it is the 10th-largest electrical contractor in the U.S.
