Please take a moment of silence today for those who lost their lives in a work zone accident. Unfortunately, this number is all too high, so this awareness is needed now more than ever. Slow down. Stay alert. Be patient. We are all in this together. #NWZAW #WorkZoneSafety

@INDOTSouthwest @IndStatePolice = great video! Road workers are more than orange vests & hard hats. They are parents, kids, siblings, friends,etc. Together, we can ensure that #constructionworkers return safely to their loved ones. #NWZAW #slowdown #WorkZoneSafety #watchforus

This week is National Work Zone Awareness Week.#NWZAW It takes just one minute more to travel through a two-mile work zone at 45 mph than 65 mph. Take extra care to pay attention & expect the unexpected. #WorkZoneSafety is everyone's #responsibility ! #WatchForUs #slowdown

#HDD, is a #trenchless method developed in the #70s Instead of digging the entire length of the pipeline, HDD only requires a small excavation at the entrance & exit points. Fewer open holes = less risk to workers & equipment = safe choice.

The importance of line & grade #accuracy in a #boring #project is crucial. There is always a maze of existing #underground conditions that require precision-like bores every time in order to prevent an accident that could result in costly delays. #survey #accurate #Precision

We define a #win as something that improves the lives of our #partners, our #community, & our #family—and we love to win. We believe everyone, including our competitors, has the potential to create a win, which is why we build all relationships on #trust, #respect, and #honesty.

An #ownership mindset= taking responsibility for outcomes & being #empowered to make decisions. As an #ESOP company, each one of our Moles has an active stake in what we do. Every Mole truly is #passionate about what we do and our success. #ownershipmentality #committed

HDD is a minimal impact #trenchless method of installing #underground #utilities . #HDD allows greater accuracy & flexibility in placement- ending the need for costly digging, large crews, road closures, & other complications of traditional digging and pipe installation.

When work gets #tough, and it will, we must #persevere and push #onward. There’s a #solution to every problem, even if we must first step back to move #forward and find our way through it. #MudandTheBlood #WhereTheresAWill #ProblemSolved

#mission statements aren't simply stating your company’s desire to be the best or make the best product/service. It's a way of showing what makes you #standout. They shape the #culture of the company. #MidwestMole #MissionStatement #StandOut #Goals

Clean & organized #jobsite are safe #construction site- no exceptions for our Mole's trailers. By ensuring everything is put away & stored correctly, we increase #safety & reduce risks. We improve efficiency, build morale, & maintain a level of professionalism. #safetyfirst

Sometimes we just have to do it the old-fashioned way & #tunnel by hand. When tunneling by hand, we utilize protective shields, which may have a forward projecting bib to provide additional face stability during the excavation. #midwestmole #handmining #trenchless

We take every opportunity to solve problems and find efficient solutions. We also know that sometimes it just takes working harder than the rest. We’ll keep getting our hands dirty until the job is done right. #hardwork #DirtyJobs #MudandTheBlood #HDD #Solutions #Trenchless

As females in a male-dominated #construction industry, it's not ez to walk onto job sites & feel comfortable. It takes #workethic, #commitment, & #determination. We're proud of the women on our team. We celebrate not only them, but all #women during this #womeninconstructionweek.

In the construction industry, women are greatly underrepresented. Just 9% of U.S. construction workers are female. Here is a look back on some of the powerful women in history that helped to pave the way for the women today who want to be given a chance.

Tips for Women in Construction: • Get your hands dirty • Keep tabs on your goals • Stand out • Stay educated • Allow yourself to be helped • Build up other women #Construction #WomenInConstruction #GirlPower #wicweek23 #WICWeek2023
