High-degree of difficulty in zero degree weather — Team EJP Concord tackles a tough project for Lowes

The dedication and toughness of Team EJPConcord, NH is shining in a big way as it handledwhat Division Manager Jim Ripley describes as “themost difficult site (for this type of project) that wehave seen in a long time.”

The project we’re talking about is the largest on-sitestorm water retention system in the state of NewHampshire. The system consists of 6000' of 48" per-forated Sure-Lok PE drainpipe, 1800 Stormtechchambers, and all the associated headers and supportpieces required to make it all fit together and workproperly. Also, Team EJP New Hampshire is supplyingcontractor A.J. Coleman & Sons with the necessaryproducts to contend with a myriad of undergroundutilities (water, sewer, drain, electrical, gas, etc.).

Adding further challenge to this project is the factthat the construction site is literally on the side of amountain. This has required the blasting and removalof some 300,000 C.Y. of ledge/rock as well as excava-tion of 200,000 C.Y. of other on-site materials.

All of this in the dead of winter in Bedford, NH.It’s a challenging project to say the least and our hatsare off to Site and Heavy Construction ManagerNoah Coleman, Project Manager Sam Donovan andthe rest of the A.J. Coleman & Sons’ crew. Thanks tothe hard work and dedication of both Coleman andTeam EJP, this project is scheduled for on-time com-pletion in early spring.

Round Lake, NY upgrades service capabilities in more ways than one

Team EJP Round Lake couldn’t wait for their new servicetruck to arrive in March, 2005. So much so, they decided tohold a demonstration for the benefit of both their employeesand their customers. Brian Burns of Team EJP SouthBurlington, VT and Ken Holhut of Team EJP Springfield, MA

agreed to provide their trucks as well as conduct hands-ondemonstrations. To further encourage local contractors andmunicipal representatives to attend, OSS Don Sherwood (AKA-Uncle Don’s Hog Wild Country Barbeque) created one of hisfamous Barbeque Breakfasts, complete with fresh scrambledeggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits and sausage gravy. The breakfastwas delicious and Ken and Brian did a fine job of communicat-ing with customers, answering questions and showing the manydifferent ways that the new service truck can help them.

The breakfast proved to be both a successful training exerciseon Round Lake’s new capabilities as well as a spontaneous cus-

tomer appreciationevent. Now that’swhat we call goodservice. Great job,everyone.
