Texas

Our next project will be a cooperative project with MADCON Corp. installing 41 12 ' two part epoxy (APE) jackets on 60" piles.

The project is on a bridge near Waco, TX.

We will be leaving 2 April to begin mobilization, and will be begining the project 5 April.

The project is projected to last four weeks. Upon our return we will be performing some sheet pile repairs (cutting and welding) in Pensacola, FL. This project should only last one to two weeks.

Home...

Well, I am back in from LA. My son came in for his spring break, this last week was just for family although thoughts of work never seem to be very far away.

I had a great project with MADCON, it was a shallow water job, hand jetting new lines (burying new production lines by digging a trench with a water pump) I had some great hands on the crew and they all worked really hard, I never feel able to adequately show my appreciation to them...

Working a long jetting project like this can be hard on the crew, it is not glamorous work, there is not often overtime (over the normal 12 hour day), and it is hard on your equipment. It is easy for guys to burn out on something like this and in my opinion one of the biggest things to watch for as a supervisor.

Everyone on that rotated through my crew was great about it, working hard and staying upbeat. I really enjoyed the project and hated to leave them to another supervisor.

But I am home now to focus on RMEDIVER exclusively.

The next project on the board is more than likely going to be a sub-contract jacketing (installing a fiberglass wrap around an existing pile and pumping it full of two part epoxy grout to strengthen and protect it from damage) job for MADCON. The work will be in Texas, I will post more on the project if it goes through.
