For the past 3 years we have had a dozen or so of our land surveyors based for months in a small town in southern Idaho (population 3,500).  They have been surveying a new 24 mile transmission route.  Not just one route but several alignment options.  These surveyors work in hail, snow, lightening storms, rain showers, sweltering heat and mighty wind gusts.  They climb hills that are at as steep as a mountainous hike all while shouldering 60 lbs of surveying equipment.  They do this not just 5 days a week but 6 days a week.  They come home for 1 week after a 2 week work period.  They leave their families, they leave their homes and they travel to this rugged countryside to work hard for our clients.  They do this without complaining.

WanapumI hope these guys don't mind ... But I feel compelled to share a little about a couple of rock stars within our organization.

Alex Matarazzo and Cliff Saunders work in our Kennewick office.  They are land surveyors ... and I think they represent some of the best of that industry.  But, what I appreciate most about both is that they represent our company values so completely.  They work hard to service our client's needs, no matter the effort.

Turbine Replacements - Like Threading a Needle....

September 15th was a beautiful day at Box Canyon Dam.  The weather could not have been better and the last of four dam turbine replacements went silky smooth.  Pat Carroll, the Project Manager for our contract with Pend Oreille County PUD #1, was like a proud parent on their kid's graduation day as he walked Tim Schauer and me out of the visitor center, geared up in hard hats, safety glasses, and boots. He led us toward the dam where the final preparations were being made to lower a new, high efficiency turbine into place.  This day was the culmination of many months of planning, coordination, and just plain hard work required to make this very complex project look easy.
