I was recently made aware of an issue that a local high school (Northwest Cabarrus)<br />
track team was facing. The school had their track resurfaced and a concrete pad and<br />
pit poured for their pole vaulting runway this past off season. It was discovered a few<br />
weeks ago that the pit cast in the pole vaulting pad was incorrectly installed (it was<br />
out of square with the run way, it was 2.5” too shallow and the angles on the sides<br />
were incorrect). The team’s track season started two weeks ago and they had not<br />
been able to practice pole vaulting as a result of the issue with the pit.<br />
My wife (who is an assistant track coach there) asked if we had any ideas on how to<br />
repair the issue. This is where Scott, Rodney and Moises come in. The three of them<br />
took opportunity of a slow day for the finishers and went out to the track field to<br />
make the repairs for the team. It didn’t cost us a lot of time or money, but the impact<br />
that it made is huge. Now 6 or 8 high school kids can carry on with their pole vaulting<br />
practice and hopefully give them more opportunity to be successful this track<br />
season. Just another example of how we can use our skills and resources to make a<br />
positive impact on our community. -Daniel Wayne, Director of Technology<br />
KUDOS JEFF INGLE!<br />
I would like to share with you my thoughts on Field Mechanic Jeff. While I have not<br />
worked directly with Jeff, I have heard nothing but glowing reviews of his work. On<br />
every jobsite I go to I always hear praise about Jeff’s work ethic, willingness to work<br />
through lunch or late hours, and his overall spectacular attitude. I don’t know that<br />
I have ever seen Jeff not covered in grease, oil, or mud but he always seems to be<br />
cheerful. On behalf of myself and the grading group, I want to say thanks and we<br />
appreciate the work the equipment department does to keep us moving.<br />
- Josh Dahlbeck, Project Manager<br />
Thanks to all the grading crew working on the Pavilion job site for all your hard<br />
work. -Rick Adsit, Senior Superintendent<br />
Thank you to all our Grading Group training participants and instructors who are<br />
taking the time to learn, teach, question and grow themselves as well as each other.<br />
We can see the improvements in the Group due to everyone’s hard work.<br />
- Jim Rhodes, Civil & Infrastructure Group Manager<br />
Congratulations to New Atlantic, Bruce Ashworth and the entire project team for a<br />
job well done on the UNCG pedestrian Tunnel Project. The project won a well deserved<br />
AGC Pinnacle award. - Jim Rhodes, Civil & Infrastructure Group Manager<br />
WBI would like to thank all that contributing in any way to the Holiday Giving Back<br />
Program. Several employees suggested fellow co-workers or folks in the community<br />
that they knew had some special needs during this time of year. Employees<br />
donated money and WBI matched the contributions. The company also adding an<br />
additional contribution to the fund and all was distributed prior to the holidays. A<br />
total of $10,500 was distributed among five employees and four families from our<br />
community. One of the recipient’s husband passed away last year and left many<br />
doctor bills and medical expenses. She lives in a small trailer that is not underpinned.<br />
This causes her heating and electrical expenses to be more than she can<br />
afford. She struggles to make ends meet and does not have any family to help her.<br />
She received a check for $500 from WBI’s Christmas Giving to purchase materials<br />
for the underpinning of her home, and a local church covered the installation. She<br />
wanted to make sure everyone at WBI knew she was very thankful. After she was<br />
given the check she said “Now I won’t have to be cold anymore.” All recipients were<br />
very thankful and everyone should feel a sense of pride knowing you and WBI care<br />
about their employees and the community we live and work in!
