"I look forward confidently to the day when all who work for a living will be one with no thought to their separateness as Negroes, Jews, Italians, or any other distinctions. This will be the day when we bring into full realization the American dream—a dream yet unfulfilled. A dream of equality of opportunity, of privilege and property widely distributed; a dream of a land where men will not take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few; a dream of a land where men will not argue that the color of a man's skin determines the content of his character; a dream of a nation where all our gifts and resources are held not for ourselves alone, but as instruments of service for the rest of humanity; the dream of a country where every man will respect the dignity and worth of the human personality. That is the dream..." - MLK, AFL-CIO Convention, December 1961

The class recently completed a storm sewer line installation demonstration, practicing advanced grade-checking and signaling the operator while exercising pipelaying techniques that reduce unnecessary excavation, minimize material waste, and keep projects on schedule. Check out the demonstration and see how our training can help you complete projects faster, safer, and more cost-effectively.
