Around Texas
Following up on the successful Eagle Ford and Cedar Park events, DPM's hosted several more well attended functions.
DPM John Sparks spearheaded the North Texas Regional Safety Day event on October 23rd in Corinth.
Over 300 excavators and facility owners attended this multi-function event hosted by the North Texas Damage Prevention Council.
The event featured safety workshops in the morning followed by two demonstrations.
The first was a controlled arcing demo, showing the dangers of high voltage electricity.
The second was a demo of vacuum excavation, which uses powerful suction through a wide suction pipe to quickly and safely excavate a hole without disturbing any unknown buried power or pipe line. A vacuum excavator may pull in debris at speeds of up to 220 miles per hour.
Additionally, exhibitors were also in attendance with the latest in excavation and safety equipment.
In West Texas, DPM Melissa Brannan made our presence known with attendance at two events.
