One of the most important and exciting parts of visiting job sites is to witness the expertise of our field forces and the support teams that the shop sends to sites. This UBC site which is a project managed by Hugo Huyn and coordinated by Meara Seder is a great example!
On an overcast, wet and chilly day a few months ago, Plant Manager Romy Tarrayo and Quality Control Manager Igor Radvan went to the site to check out the work being completed and to observe the unloading and spotting of frame crates in one of the elevations. The crane truck (truck 42) was already parked, secured and ready to unload. Site Foreman Evan Morrison and Crane Operator Sid Boudreau were already in action.
The challenge was to unload a 2500 lb. crate of curtain wall frames and then extend the boom with this load through an opening that only had about 12 inches of space left when the materials were put in.
After a few measurements, some chains, and slings corrections, the first load was mobilized. Romy was videotaping the whole thing as the boom approached the opening. John Morrison and Tagan Mullen-Halcro were going to receive the load up top. As the process continued, you could hear the shouting of instructions and caution, hand signals, guide ropes getting pulled, and finally, a double thumbs-up from the crew up top. Two other crates of frames were lifted in the same fashion. This was a job well done.
There is no doubt that we have a great group of workers and when they work together — safety, quality, and productivity become second nature. Another example of Flynn Family Winning Together!
