Congratulations to the DPT Training Facility Team Winners of the 2010 AGC Safety Team Photo Contest! Thank you for all the support and votes!

WPC received an AGC Safety Team award at the AGC’s Annual Refund and Award Celebration. WPC earned this “Safety and Claims Management” award for achieving an Experience Modification Rate (EMR) of .60 and for no time-loss or impairment claims in the last 3 years.

WPC is proud of our efforts company-wide to promote safety, and this award is a testament to those efforts. This award will be on display in the WPC field offices to serve as a reminder to our crews of their success. Great job by all!

WPC employees didn’t let the wet weather interfere with their enthusiasm in cleaning up and beautifying one of Gig Harbor’s parks for Pierce County’s 9th Annual Parks Appreciation Day on April 26th. This event is one of the many ways that WPC gives back to our community, and we couldn’t do it without the dedication of our volunteers—come rain or shine. Thanks to WPC employees and their families: Neil Colombini, John & Karna Free, Dave Rutherford, Darcey Hardeman, Mickey Traugutt, Erik Bjorn, Bonnie & Mike Melchior, Kyle Sturrock, and Wade Perrow with granddaughter, Jeannie!

WPC welcomes Neil Colombini to our management staff. Neil has been working for WPC off and on for the past 3-4 years while attending college at PLU. He worked on the New Healthcare Facility at the Washington Corrections Center for Women project, and most recently went up with the St. Paul crew to work on the Fur Seal Observation Facilities. He returned from Alaska and was offered the position of Project Engineer, working with Bill Ecker on the Foss Waterway Seaport Balfour Dock renovation project. He is also assisting with estimating efforts and in the continuing development of WPC’s estimating database.

Kyle Sturrock recently joined WPC with interest in pursuing a management position. He has a degree in business management and joined our management staff to support the Fort Lewis and Yakima Marine Corps Reserve Centers (MCRC’s) and the Gulf of the Farallones Residence Renovation in San Francisco, working closely with Mickey Traugutt. He is also assisting in the continuing development of WPC’s estimating database.
