Safety & quality
Everyone goes
home.
Heavy equipment, open excavations and ready-mix trucks leave no room for shortcuts. Safety and quality are the same habit: doing each step right, every time.
01On every job site
Safety habits
- 01
Locate before we dig
We request an OHIO811 locate before any excavation and respect the marks. Known private lines get located too.
- 02
Daily site walk
Each day starts by reviewing the work, the hazards and who is doing what, especially around trenches, equipment and traffic.
- 03
Safe excavations
Excavations are sloped, benched or protected appropriately, and edges are kept clear of spoils and equipment.
- 04
Maintained equipment
Machines are inspected and maintained, and operated by people trained on them.
- 05
Protected sites
Open holes, fresh concrete and equipment are secured or marked off, especially in neighborhoods.
- 06
Right gear
Hard hats, high-visibility clothing, eye and hearing protection and proper footwear where the work calls for them.
02Before every pour
Quality checkpoints
- 01
Subgrade
Soft spots removed, base compacted and grades checked so the slab gets uniform support.
- 02
Forms
Elevations, slope and dimensions confirmed against the plan.
- 03
Steel & embeds
Reinforcing, anchor bolts, sleeves and embeds placed and checked before trucks are called.
- 04
Weather call
Forecast reviewed for heat, cold and rain, with protection staged or the pour rescheduled.
