Jeff Ingle in the process of removing teeth from an excavator bucket. Air Carbon ARC Gouging By: Alan Goodman, Asset Manager Our shop recently purchased an “air carbon ARC gouging” torch to improve efficiency / productivity when we need to cut welds. Air carbon arc gouging works as follows - An electric arc is generated between the tip of a carbon electrode and the work piece. The metal becomes molten and a high velocity air jet streams down the electrode to blow it away, thus leaving a clean groove. The process is simple to apply and has a high metal removal rate, and gouge profile can be closely controlled. This tool dramatically reduces this time to remove weld as compared to the typical method of torching or grinding, plus the cut is very clean and the metal is not subjected to extremely high temperatures This tool could be compared to using a razor to precisely remove material. A new, high volume, 25 HP air compressor enabled us to take advantage of the gouging torch. Many thanks to Jerry Lambert and the shop technicians for bringing new tools and technology into the workplace. CAGC Pinnacle Award Congratulations to New Atlantic Contracting for winning the 2014 Carolinas AGC Pinnacle Award! They won “Best Building” for the UNCG Pedestrian Underpass. Wayne Brothers’ Grading Group is grateful to have been part of such a successful project. The joint project between UNCG and the NC Railroad Company was designed to provide a safer path for pedestrians and bicyclists as well as create a connection between the university’s core campus and the school’s massive mixed-use project along the Lee Street corridor. The most interesting and challenging part of the project was the open cut tunnel was excavated and built underneath three Norfolk Southern railroad tracks, without taking them out of service. Page 14

World Health Day The World Health Organization recognizes April 7th of every year as Word Health Day. The theme of World Health Day 2015 is Food Safety.

Due to marriages, divorces, deaths etc. most people’s forms need to be updated to their current beneficiaries. To ensure that we have the correct/current beneficiary we are requiring a new Designation of Beneficiary Form to be completed by everyone. Even if you think you have the correct beneficiaries listed please complete a new form. Just a few reminders on completing the form: - If you do not have the new Designation of Beneficiary form please contact Lacie and she can get you one. - If you are married your spouse must be listed as your primary beneficiary unless he/she consents to someone else being your primary. If your spouse does consent, the second page of the form must be completed and notarized. - If you are listing your spouse as your primary, or are not married I only need the first page of the form completed and signed. - If you are not currently contributing but have a balance in your 401k account we still need this form completed. - Superintendents please assist me in having your employees complete this form. - Please return this form to HR (Lacie) as soon as possible. - Summary Plan Descriptions are available for our Insurance and 401K. Please contact Lacie in HR if you would like a copy, and they are also available to view on the company server. - If you have any other questions about the forms, please feel free to contact Lacie 704-956-2268.
