Project Highlight:
VELCO GMP B20-22 Mat Hauling
|
|
Multiple departments within Casella Construction recently worked together to move 4,376 timber mats for VELCO - over a period of just 8 days!
We moved mats from five locations, as far south as Ludlow to as far north as Enosburg, and dropped them all in Eden, VT.
Construction and Transportation worked as a team to get this job done 6 days ahead of schedule; the collaboration between the two divisions was key in the successful completion of this project.
A big thank you to the truck drivers, loader operators, and the guys on the ground for a job well done!

July Good Catch Winner of the Month!
|
|
Congratulations to Eric Diefendorf for winning the July Good Catch, Near Miss Award.
Eric recognized unsafe/faulty equipment when, walking past a set of torches, he noticed a flickering inside the acetylene tank top, coming from the valve. Eric shut off the tank and blew the flame out, removed the regulator from the tank, and inspected it thoroughly. A small leak was confirmed, and the tank was tagged out for repair.
Thank you Eric - great work!

Spotters are a critical element of site safety, as they provide guidance so people don’t get hurt and equipment doesn’t get damaged. A few key elements to remember are:
- Never walk behind equipment and spot at the same time
- Agree on hand signals prior to spotting activities
- As the operator, stop any time you lose sight of the spotter

While we still need to remain diligent about safety precautions as our communities transition into phased re-openings, we also want to hear about what you and your family are up to, and how you enjoy spending your time.
