I hove never hod the occasion to work with such o great bunch of guys. They oil were friendly,polte, cooperative and knowledgeable. Gene Copher and I talked often during oil stages of the project. He was always friendly, cooperative and easy to work with . He was right in there with the rest of the crew during construction. Steve laid out the bridge,performed oil excavation end set the bridge components . The crew on the ground knew exact y what to do and when to do it. They worked together like a well-oiled machine, oil the while enjoying their work. Very impressive !
Their product is equally os impressive. The project was very inexpensive, cheoper than any culvert project we hove done lately. The bridge components were easi y installed, required very little time and the project caused minimal impacts to the stream and surrounding habitat. Their motto, “The Fish Friendly Solution”, says it all.
