he small city where I live, De Pere,
Wis., is far removed from the Texas
oil patch. Dairy farms, not oil rigs,
dot the countryside here, and there arent
many local energy industry support service
companies I can call on for my next story
in GOMC. We do have a well-known foot-
ball team up the road four miles in Green
Bay, but the closest I get to crude oil is fll-
ing up my pickup at the gas station down
the street.
Still, my hometown has made an
important contribution to the oil industry
in the way of human resources. Two of the
industrys top executives in recent years
hail from De Pere. In fact, theyre broth-
ers, James and Patrick Mulva. James Mul-
va, 66, recently retired as chairman and
CEO of ConocoPhillips, while Patrick, 60,
serves as vice president and controller of
ExxonMobil.
Serving as editor of GOMC, I am at-
tuned to the impressive achievement of one
family producing two high-level industry
leaders. For me, its a source of community
pride that my kids go to the same schools
these two important oilmen attended a cou-
ple of generations ago.
Even though the Mulvas grew up here,
I didnt know much about them or their
parallel career paths to the top of two of
the worlds biggest energy companies. So
I turned to the Internet for more insight.
What I discovered was less Mulva family his-
tory, but more valuable insights about how
to run a successful company. Beyond satis-
fying my curiosity about two De Pere guys
who made good, I stumbled upon some
great advice for support service contractors.

VALUED ADVICE
In 2009, James Mulva gave a long
interview for the McCombs Leadership
Forum at his alma maters University of
Texas business school. In the far-ranging dis-
cussion with professor George Gau, Mulva
talked about what it takes for a business
owner to succeed, ethical business behavior,
and his enduring respect for an industry that
is often maligned in the public eye.
James, who in retirement sits on the
boards of both General Motors and General
Electric Corp., spent 36 years with Cono-
coPhillips, and was at the helm of Conoco
when the two oil companies merged about
a decade ago. Similarly, Patrick has spent
a long career rising through the ranks of
ExxonMobil. In the McCombs forum, Mul-
va said a passion for the industry is what
led to his success, and its a critical trait in
executives of any company, large or small.
I believe I probably work in the most
interesting industry in the world. Its poli-
tics. Its huge in technology. Its billions of
dollars in investment and its so important.
It becomes intoxicating, Mulva said. You
work pretty hard and play to win. Its a very
competitive business and its always been
very competitive. So theres always been the
thrill of the win.
Whether youre the CEO of Cono-
coPhillips or part of any other organization or
company, I dont think you can be really suc-
cessful if you dont have a passion to do it.
Here are a few more bits of wisdom
Mulva said propelled him to the top and can
do the same for you:

Create a strong company culture.
We work hard and we set goals with
intense focus, and we get there. In the con-
text of decades, youre really only around for
a short period of time. Youre part of a team;
youre a custodian, and what you want to
do is nurture it, grow it and pass it on as a
group. The thrill is, what are we creating?
Where are we going? Always have a plan,
and then really push to get it done.

Like people and
treat them right.
To be reasonably suc-
cessful, youve got to really
like people. You can have
knowledge and passion and
intelligence, but you have to
like and want to work with
people. The way youre going to win is
not with just intelligence and brainpower
and money. Youre really going to win with
people and your team.
I have a lot of time for any employee
that works really hard. When its all said and
done, its judgment. Be a little lenient
and let people fnd their own way and their
own time to accomplish what theyve been
asked to do. Dont try to make individuals
do it the way (you) do it. You have to be
more understanding and let them fnd the
balance. There are times when the family is
most important, and you just have to take
care of it. And there are times when the fam-
ily may not need as much time, but weve
really got to get something done.

challenge me. We get in a room and argue
and debate something. I want to know the
blind spots. Ive been told its important to
be a good listener. If youre talking all the
time and not listening, you wont learn any-
thing. Youll just know what you know.

ily and the Green Bay Packers, and not nec-
essarily in that order And another one, We
are going to strive for perfection, knowing
full well that we wont achieve it, but in the
process we will attain excellence.

Be industry proud and
think environmentally.
I believe, not just ConocoPhillips,
but the industry that I work for is a very
noble industry. I know in the public do-
main there is a lot of questions about that,
but we wouldnt have our standard of living,
or the development of our economy, if we
didnt have the energy and develop it. Its
not understood by the public very well
Youre working on something thats really
important for society and the development
and growth of mankind.
We believe the basic premise
that fossil fuelsoil, gas and coalare
going to represent 80 percent or more of the
energy we need for the world for decades to
come. And the world demands and expects
that were going to have cleaner and more
effcient use of energy. So its in our interest
to develop this cleaner and cleaner. Its our
license to operate. Its a license for the sus-
tainability of the company.
But Im also a human being and I
want clean air, and I want clean water, so we
really need to believe in this We provide
energy and we intend to do it for the next
100 years, so sustainability is important ...
Its the responsibility of living on this planet
to be good stewards.

Be a good corporate citizen
for the workers and the community.
(Working with) high-pressure, high-
temperature oil and gas materials, we stress
safety. If any employee doesnt like some-
thing in safety, we can shut it down. We
have no tolerance for any irregularities in
fnancial reporting. We have a no-tolerance
policy in place for substance abuse. We have
all the safeguards in place, and training for
our employees is routine.
I dont want to work for a company
thats always on the fringes. I want to work
for a company thats safe, and I want to
work for a company that the communities
want us to be in. Youve got to walk the talk.
And you better be consistent, because in
todays world, everyone can see that.

he small city where I live, De Pere,
Wis., is far removed from the Texas
oil patch. Dairy farms, not oil rigs,
dot the countryside here, and there arent
many local energy industry support service
companies I can call on for my next story
in GOMC. We do have a well-known foot-
ball team up the road four miles in Green
Bay, but the closest I get to crude oil is fll-
ing up my pickup at the gas station down
the street.
Still, my hometown has made an
important contribution to the oil industry
in the way of human resources. Two of the
industrys top executives in recent years
hail from De Pere. In fact, theyre broth-
ers, James and Patrick Mulva. James Mul-
va, 66, recently retired as chairman and
CEO of ConocoPhillips, while Patrick, 60,
serves as vice president and controller of
ExxonMobil.
Serving as editor of GOMC, I am at-
tuned to the impressive achievement of one
family producing two high-level industry
leaders. For me, its a source of community
pride that my kids go to the same schools
these two important oilmen attended a cou-
ple of generations ago.
Even though the Mulvas grew up here,
I didnt know much about them or their
parallel career paths to the top of two of
the worlds biggest energy companies. So
I turned to the Internet for more insight.
What I discovered was less Mulva family his-
tory, but more valuable insights about how
to run a successful company. Beyond satis-
fying my curiosity about two De Pere guys
who made good, I stumbled upon some
great advice for support service contractors.

VALUED ADVICE
In 2009, James Mulva gave a long
interview for the McCombs Leadership
Forum at his alma maters University of
Texas business school. In the far-ranging dis-
cussion with professor George Gau, Mulva
talked about what it takes for a business
owner to succeed, ethical business behavior,
and his enduring respect for an industry that
is often maligned in the public eye.
James, who in retirement sits on the
boards of both General Motors and General
Electric Corp., spent 36 years with Cono-
coPhillips, and was at the helm of Conoco
when the two oil companies merged about
a decade ago. Similarly, Patrick has spent
a long career rising through the ranks of
ExxonMobil. In the McCombs forum, Mul-
va said a passion for the industry is what
led to his success, and its a critical trait in
executives of any company, large or small.
I believe I probably work in the most
interesting industry in the world. Its poli-
tics. Its huge in technology. Its billions of
dollars in investment and its so important.
It becomes intoxicating, Mulva said. You
work pretty hard and play to win. Its a very
competitive business and its always been
very competitive. So theres always been the
thrill of the win.
Whether youre the CEO of Cono-
coPhillips or part of any other organization or
company, I dont think you can be really suc-
cessful if you dont have a passion to do it.
Here are a few more bits of wisdom
Mulva said propelled him to the top and can
do the same for you:

Create a strong company culture.
We work hard and we set goals with
intense focus, and we get there. In the con-
text of decades, youre really only around for
a short period of time. Youre part of a team;
youre a custodian, and what you want to
do is nurture it, grow it and pass it on as a
group. The thrill is, what are we creating?

At Innovative Hydrovac Trucks LLC we understand the signi-
cant investment our customers are making. For that reason
we have taken the hydrovac truck to the next level with the
IHT2512 Smart Truck We have designed built in interlocks
using our Programmable Logic Controller and in-house
developed software to eliminate most operator caused
truck breakage thus reducing costly down time and repairs.
This technology also allows us to build the safest, most power-
ful and most owner friendly hydrovac truck on the market. Our
truck relies on a 50 degree sloped debris oor, full width rear
door and high pressure wash system for easy ofoading and
cleaning. This eliminates the need to raise the tank to dump
and also eliminates any moving parts in the debris portion of
the tank. The debris tank is easily cleaned without ever having
to enter the tank.
The IHT2512 has the capacity to carry 2500 gallons of fresh
water and 12.5 cubic yards of debris. Our square tank double
walled design allows the IHT2512 to carry more water and
debris yet not add any length to a conventional hydrovac truck.

The toughest challenge we had was in 2009 when
the market was bad, Geoffroy says. We didnt lay any-
body off, but we struggled to keep them busy. Retaining
workers through historically tough economic times has
paid off in employee retention and recruitment as the gas
industry has ramped up recently, Geoffroy says. And that
has brought consistent and quality service as the com-
pany has begun to mature.
keeping it cOOL
Acadiana specializes in the maintenance,
repair and installation of cooling and compression equipment. It works
with oil and gas producers both offshore in the Gulf of Mexico and
onshore in both southern Louisiana and in a second region that spans shale
plays in northeast Texas and northwest Louisiana. The company works
primarily at producing well sites, but also services equipment on gas pipelines.
The compression equipment serviced by Acadiana is used to match the
compression of gas coming from a well feld to the pressure fowing through
bulk pipelines. The cooling equipment reduces the temperature of the gas
to match fuel already in the pipelines. Both the compressors and the coolers
are powered by large industrial engines fueled by the natural gas the wells
are producing.
When production slowed due to declining prices, the demand for Aca-
dianas services also declined, forcing the companys managers to do what-
ever was necessary to maintain a quality workforce. Now that the gas and oil
industry is running strong, Geoffroy says recruiting is highly competitive in
Acadianas markets.
Everybody fghts for the better workers. We just wish we could get more,
he explains. The general manager says it can be diffcult to compete with larger
service providers for top technicians, but Acadianas decision to avoid layoffs in
2009 is paying double dividends now.
First, he says, the company has nurtured a core of loyal employees. Sec-
ond, he adds, People were getting laid off elsewhere and even if we werent
hiring, they may have watched us a year or two. They saw that we didnt lay
anybody off and they made the decision to apply.
Geoffroy says the result is an experienced pool of applicants for Acadiana,
allowing the company to move new employees into the feld right away to meet
the growing demand for service. Thats important since the company took a
major step forward less than a year after it was launched, opening a second
offce in Kilgore, Texas, in late 2008.
The Kilgore offce has dispatched crews as far as Dallas, southern Arkansas
and southern Oklahoma. The Kilgore offce has 10 mechanics, two cooler tech-
nicians and two working supervisors.
A
Acadiana Cooling and Compression was
launched in early 2008 and it didnt take long for the
Louisiana-based company to run into choppy waters.
Mitch Dortez, founder and president, came to
the business with extensive experience in the radiator/
cooler feld of oil and gas services, and leaned on a
core group of experienced technicians to build the
new company. Brian Geoffroy, Acadianas general
managerwho oversees sales and receivables
says Dortezs focus on building and retaining an
experienced technical/service staff helped the
company clear the biggest hurdle in its brief history.
We make sure our people are certied on the specialized equipment they
will be seeing in the eld. When manufacturers introduce something new,
they usually have their own schools and well send someone. Well train key
people and they share that knowledge with the rest of the team.

Acadiana has 42 employees, 30
working in the feld as technician/
mechanics. Although most of the
feld technicians specialize, Geoffroy
says, The ones that work on the
radiator/cooler side also double up
on the mechanical side and a lot of
the mechanical guys can work on the
cooler side. Cross-training makes it
easier for the company to respond to
emergency calls or sudden shifts in
client needs, he explains.
Although the majority of Aca-
dianas work was offshore when the
company launched, the rapid growth
of gas exploration and production in
shale formations along with the
expansion of pipeline networks
has shifted much of the companys
work to land-based clients. The com-
pany both services and installs cooler
and compressor packages.

Ounce Of preventiOn
Although it provides 24-hour
emergency service, the companys greatest focus is on preventive maintenance,
Geoffroy says. Our job is to keep them running effciently to make sure they
dont have emergencies. A lot of our work is scheduled maintenance.
The preventive maintenance is offered as a beneft for customers, but it
also helps Acadiana manage its resources. With scheduled maintenance, Geof-
froy says, You know you have work every day. When an emergency call comes
in, Geoffroy says the size of the Acadiana workforce gives it the fexibility to shift
resources quickly. He notes that managers in the offce are also experienced in
the feld, and are available to step in when there is a need for extra hands.
Most of Acadianas work is done on site. We do overhauls in the feld.
We do retubes in the feld, Geoffroy says. Some customers have spares and
they will pull the equipment and send it to our shop, but 90 percent of what
we do is in the feld.
Compressors with engines below 500 hp need preventive maintenance
every 30 days, according to Acadiana salesman Andre Dore, who has also
worked in maintenance. Engines above 500 hp get preventive maintenance
every 90 days of operation. Cooler units are cleaned and serviced at the same
time as the engines powering them.
Regular preventive maintenance has been proven time and time again to
improve overall run time and ultimately improve production which, in turn,
means increased revenues to the owner of the machine, Dore says. Preven-
tive maintenance can be scheduled around the clients scheduled downtime,
minimizing loss of production, again saving money and minimizing impact on
overall production.
Acadiana recommends annual major maintenance and inspection of
heavy-duty compressors and coolers.

equipping the crew
The company supplies work trucks for its feld crews, but Geoffroy adds,
We have some guys that come in and want to use their own trucks and well
pay them for that.
All of the mechanics and technicians have their own tools, but, we
provide them with many specialty tools such as dial indicators, micrometers,
Supporting EmployEES
outSidE thE Job
The gas and oil service industry puts big demands on workers in the
feld, and one way Acadiana Cooling and Compression recognizes their
workers eforts is to support the communities where they live and work,
according to Bryan Geofroy, the companys general manager.
Our employees work extremely hard and work many hours away
from their families so ACC has decided some of the profts can be used to
support their charities, Geofroy says. We mostly support our local schools
and some special charitable events. The name Acadiana Cooling and
Compression may get the recognition, but our employees are the ones who
should get all the recognition.
One of the charities Acadiana supports is Wounded War Heroes, a South
Louisiana organization that organizes fshing and hunting trips and other
outdoors experiences for any military veterans who have been awarded the
Purple Heart or who are medically disabled.
A pair of Acadiana salesmen, Terry Ronquillo and Andre Dore, are
volunteers in the Wounded War Heroes organization and have helped
organize a fshing weekend the group sponsors as both a fundraiser and
recreation for wounded veterans. This past summer, Ronquillo got a specially
equipped boat, motor and trailer donated to be given to one of the troops
attending the Wounded War Heroes Fishing Rodeo based out of Empire, La.
Acadiana has donated to the rodeo the past two years as a sponsor,
Ronquillo says. But the companys support goes further. The company
allows me the time to be involved in the organization, to contribute to it.
They give Andre and me the time to work with it.
Regular preventive maintenance has been proven time
and time again to improve overall run time and ultimately
improve production which, in turn, means increased
revenues to the owner of the machine.

every 30 days, according to Acadiana salesman Andre Dore, who has also
worked in maintenance. Engines above 500 hp get preventive maintenance
every 90 days of operation. Cooler units are cleaned and serviced at the same
time as the engines powering them.
Regular preventive maintenance has been proven time and time again to
improve overall run time and ultimately improve production which, in turn,
means increased revenues to the owner of the machine, Dore says. Preven-
tive maintenance can be scheduled around the clients scheduled downtime,
minimizing loss of production, again saving money and minimizing impact on
overall production.
Acadiana recommends annual major maintenance and inspection of
heavy-duty compressors and coolers.

equipping the crew
The company supplies work trucks for its feld crews, but Geoffroy adds,
We have some guys that come in and want to use their own trucks and well
pay them for that.
All of the mechanics and technicians have their own tools, but, we
provide them with many specialty tools such as dial indicators, micrometers,
Supporting EmployEES
outSidE thE Job
The gas and oil service industry puts big demands on workers in the
feld, and one way Acadiana Cooling and Compression recognizes their
workers eforts is to support the communities where they live and work,
according to Bryan Geofroy, the companys general manager.
Our employees work extremely hard and work many hours away
from their families so ACC has decided some of the profts can be used to
support their charities, Geofroy says. We mostly support our local schools
and some special charitable events. The name Acadiana Cooling and
Compression may get the recognition, but our employees are the ones who
should get all the recognition.
One of the charities Acadiana supports is Wounded War Heroes, a South
Louisiana organization that organizes fshing and hunting trips and other
outdoors experiences for any military veterans who have been awarded the
Purple Heart or who are medically disabled.
A pair of Acadiana salesmen, Terry Ronquillo and Andre Dore, are
volunteers in the Wounded War Heroes organization and have helped
organize a fshing weekend the group sponsors as both a fundraiser and
recreation for wounded veterans. This past summer, Ronquillo got a specially
equipped boat, motor and trailer donated to be given to one of the troops
attending the Wounded War Heroes Fishing Rodeo based out of Empire, La.
Acadiana has donated to the rodeo the past two years as a sponsor,
Ronquillo says. But the companys support goes further. The company
allows me the time to be involved in the organization, to contribute to it.
They give Andre and me the time to work with it.
Regular preventive maintenance has been proven time
and time again to improve overall run time and ultimately
improve production which, in turn, means increased
revenues to the owner of the machine.

specialty seal tools, centering sleeves, liner pullers and laptops with the latest
software for troubleshooting, Geoffroy says. The list can go on, depending
upon the need.
A lot of the specialized engines they work onlike a Caterpillar 3600
require special tools. We have Cat 3600 toolboxes so our guys are equipped to
do the job when they get there, Geoffroy says. The company also maintains a
specialty tool box for the Waukesha AT engine.
At both its Broussard and Kilgore offces, as well as at a satellite building
in Sibley, La., Acadiana maintains utility trailers with larger maintenance equip-
ment such as air compressors, welding machines and wash rigs that feld techs
can take with them when a job calls for it. The company designs and equips its
own wash trailers.
Like the cross-training of its employees, Geoffroy says, the fexibility of the
shared trailers helps Acadiana serve customers, because every location is going
to have different needs.

AdvAnced trAining
Because the company focuses on hiring experienced technicians, it does
not have to do much basic training for employees. For the most part, a lot of
our work hasnt changed much. The basic knowledge is what is important, he
says. But when the equipment or the technology does change, Acadiana sends
technicians to focused training programs.
We make sure our people are certifed on the specialized equipment they
will be seeing in the feld, Geoffroy says. When manufacturers introduce
something new, they usually have their own schools and well send someone.
Well train key people and they share that knowledge with the rest of the team.
To keep pace with the industry, Acadiana technicians are certifed on all
the Caterpillar engine types, including the Cat 398, Cat 3500 and the Cat 3600
lines, Waukesha Engine (GE Energy) lines from VRG to AT and other major
brands of engines. They are also certifed on Ariel, Dresser-Rand (GE Energy),
Worthington, GE, Gemini and Gardner Denver compressors.
Because some of the cooler and compressor equipment Acadiana services
has outlived the suppliers, parts are sometimes diffcult to secure after a break-
down. Thats when parts and shop manager Keith Boutte is tapped for his
experience. Hes been in the industry a long time and he has his own little
notebook of sources where he can fnd things that nobody else can fnd.

Lloyd Romero is Acadianas service manager responsible for scheduling
crews for maintenance work and calling out technicians for the companys
24-hour emergency services.
Chris LeMaire manages the
Kilgore offce. Marshall Rob-
inson is the working supervi-
sor in that offce.
Because his offces work
is land-based and his clients
have specifc expectations of their service crews, LeMaire has developed a stan-
dard service truck package for his compression technicians to take in the feld.
For the compression side of the business, Acadianas Kilgore offce starts
with a Ford F-450 service body truck and adds a 4,000-pound Auto Crane.
They also add a 12 hp Ingersoll Rand air compressor and a 3,000 psi Hotsy
cold-water pressure washer with a 100-gallon tank.
LeMaire says the pressure washers are included in the standard package
so the technicians can clean the compression
equipment before they begin servicing it and
again before they leave a clients well.
For cooler work, technicians are dis-
patched with pickup trucks stocked with the
necessary tools. The Kilgore offce also has
two trailer-mounted Hotsy pressure washers
that are used to clean the coolers. The trailers
are equipped with 300-gallon wash tanks.

new wOrkers needed
Recruiting enough qualifed technicians
to keep up with the demand for Acadianas
services can be daunting, LeMaire says. The
company is willing to take on less-experienced
technicians than they sought in the past as
long as the workers show an aptitude in felds
such as welding, mechanics or cooling.
LeMaire is willing to take a chance on
a well-trained student who demonstrates a
good work ethic.
Most of what we do is highly special-
ized, he says. But theyve got to start some-

ou make the annual pilgrimage to
the Pumper & Cleaner Environ-
mental Expo for a variety of rea-
sons surely to see the latest equipment
the industry has to offer and to learn
the latest technologies through Education
Day seminars.
Effective networking with your indus-
try colleagues is another key to making the
most of your visit to the 2013 Pumper &
Cleaner Expo in Indianapolis. Taking part in
the Breakfast Roundtable discussions set
for 8 to 10 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 28 is
the best way to accomplish that goal.
Just ask Mike Stephens, of SCS Ste-
phens LLC in Haslett, Mich., who partici-
pated in a Roundtable discussion about
maintenance contracts for wastewater treat-
ment systems at the 2012 Expo. Hell tell
you he came away with practical advice
from fellow service providers who work
across the country.
I was able to exchange maintenance
agreements with other contractors from the
Roundtable discussion. We showed each
other what we use for contracts and that
was really benefcial, Stephens says. If
somebody else is doing something thats
working, why do we have to reinvent the
wheel? If someones already drafted a really
good service contract and good marketing
or a clever idea in another state why
not use it?
Stephens and other contractors at his
table explored some of the ideas theyve used
to promote maintenance contracts among
their customers. Then they exchanged busi-
ness cards and delved deeper into the topic
in the weeks following the Expo. Eventually
they were faxing their agreements to each
other for critique, looking for ways to im-
prove the documents.
The result is improved service for cus-
tomers through regular system checks, and
an improved environment for everyone,
Stephens says. He would like to stay on the
topic of maintenance at the upcoming Expo.
Different people have different per-
spectives, he says. I enjoyed being able
to talk to companies that were maintaining
twice as many systems as I do and those do-
ing a smaller number. It was a really good
experience.
Maintenance contracts were one of
many timely business topics explored at
the 2012 Roundtable discussions. And
many more are in the works for 2013. After

Through Expo Roundtable discussions, contractors network their
way to better use of emerging technologies, improved customer
service and marketing ideas that produce results

All of them have something to share with the group. All perspectives are helpful to come
up with a good answer. I think sometimes the guys who dont think they have something
to ofer, we dont give them the credit they deserve.
Dave Gustafson
The Pumper & Cleaner Environmental Expo hosts
Breakfast Roundtable discussions where attendees
share their thoughts on a variety of important issues.
grabbing a buffet breakfast, participants will
choose a topic and start networking. You are
invited to move from table to table to dis-
cuss a host of topics ranging from providing
services to social media marketing.

Hot topics
Dave Gustafson, a University of Minne-
sota Extension Service engineer and regular
speaker at Pumper & Cleaner Expo semi-
nars, led a 2012 Roundtable that veered into
a fascinating hot topic: hydrogen sulfde
deterioration in concrete tanks.
The discussion wasnt what Gustafson
expected, but it brought to light valuable
information about an issue that helped inform
his table participants from California, Ohio,
New Jersey, New York and Virginia.
Part of the value of the Roundtable
discussions is trying to deal with topics that
contractors are working on right now. What
are the issues were wrestling with today? he
says. I was able to talk to contractors about
what they were seeing and interpret it from
the research standpoint.
Pinpointing important trends in service
and maintenance helps participating con-
tractors keep pace with an evolving industry,
Gustafson says. As technologies to treat and
transport wastewater change and improve, a
well-informed contractor will provide better
customer service and become a more effec-
tive steward of the environment, he says.
And Gustafson says the networking
efforts he begins at the Expo Roundtables
continue throughout the year, adding tre-
mendous value to his work and, he hopes,
to the advancement of the contractors
hes befriended.
Gustafson and other industry educators
take part in the Roundtables as moderators,
keeping the discussions on topic and adding
their expertise wherever possible. As a mod-
erator, Gustafson has a message for all Expo
attendees considering taking part in the
Roundtables in 2013: The more the merrier.
Sometimes guys are worried theyre
not going to have anything to say. But
everyone has a perspective. Theyve all been
involved in the industry, so all of them have
something to share with the group, Gus-
tafson says. All perspectives are helpful to
come up with a good answer. I think some-
times the guys who dont think they have
something to offer, we dont give them the
credit they deserve. If you dont come, your
reference is missed. We dont have your
insights, experiences and understanding.

rom a productivity and fnancial standpoint, an equipment breakdown
is the last thing a support-services contractor wants while working on
gas- and oil-well sites deep in the bog-flled bush country of Alberta.
Thats why Buchinski Enterprises Ltd. depends on a Land Tamer 8 x 8 XHD
all-terrain, low-impact, amphibious utility vehicle to help workers provide veg-
etation control and other maintenance services.
Our crews travel through everything from muskeg (bogs) to slews (bea-
ver ponds), says Bryan Buchinski, the manager of the company, based in
Manning, Alberta, Canada. The well sites might be two to three hours from
the nearest gravel road its nothing for guys to be gone all day.
They might travel in 10 or 20 miles off a gravel road, but there are no
roads, he adds. They follow cut lines (cleared land) for a while, but the
toughest stretch is from the cut lines to the well sites.
Made by PFM Manufacturing Inc., the Land Tamer is at home on land or
in water. The 8 x 8 extreme heavy-duty model travels on either eight, 33-inch-
high and 12 1/2-inch-wide agricultural tires, or four removable, 20-inch-wide
rubber tracks; each track wraps around two tires, and the tracks decrease the
ground pressure to just 1 psi. That allows the low-impact Land Tamer to easily
travel through swampy terrain, mud and snow. The tires also propel the vehicle
in water and keep it aoat.

No matter how soft or rugged the terrain, the Land Tamer is up to the task
for Buchinski Enterprises in Albertas backcountry
By Ken Wysocky
The Land Tamer 8 x 8 provides double duty for Buchinski Enterprises, transporting work-
ers and carrying a sprayer to control noxious weeds in remote locations in Alberta.

Working in the snow, this 8 x 8 with tracks is
used to transport fuel to remote locations,
and assist in building early season Ice Roads in
Northern Ontario. The vehicle oers the safety
feature of foating if it should break through the
ice. The unit is equipped with a hydraulic winch
that can be switched easily from front to back.

The Land Tamer 8 x 8 features a marine-grade alu-
minum hull; a hydrostatic gear-drive system that pro-
duces full-time, all-wheel drive; an 80 hp DEUTZ turbo diesel engine; and
hydraulic drive motors that eliminate the need for chain drives. The extreme
heavy-duty model is designed to carry up to 3,000 pounds on land/2,500
pounds in water and offers an available enclosed cab made of unbreakable
plastic glass. The machine weighs about 6,000 pounds and is about 8 feet wide
(with tracks installed), 7 feet tall and 15 1/2 feet long.
Using a sprayer mounted on the Land Tamer, Buchinksi Enterprises pro-
vides noxious-weed control services, aimed at eliminating non-native weeds
brought in from other areas. It also uses the vehicles to perform routine well
maintenance, such as painting, changing out pumps and replacing faulty gaskets.
In addition, employees use the vehicle which can hold three passengers to
transport inspectors to well sites to check on reforestation, land reclamation and
noxious-weed control efforts.
Previously, Buchinski says his company used another kind of amphibious
vehicle, but wanted something more reliable. Retrieving broken-down equip-
ment in such remote areas is an expensive and time-consuming proposition,
he notes.
Getting in and out in a day is your biggest worry, he explains. The
companies we work for know where were going, and we check in every couple
hours as part of our own safety policy. Its usually a 12-hour day.

Avoiding breAkdowns
Our Land Tamer improves employee safety because its much less prone
to breakdowns, which can lead to injuries while winching or pulling or pry-
ing, Buchinski says, The reliability issue is huge. Before, weve had to leave
machines out in the bush for a couple days before we could get enough people
and equipment lined up to rescue it.
The company uses the vehicle mostly from June through September. Bu-
chinski estimates the frm spent anywhere from $700 to $1,000 a week repairing
the previous amphibious vehicle it owned. So we save thousands of dollars a
year in reduced maintenance, labor and repair-parts costs, he says.
Buchinski also lauds the vehicles versatility. For example, the winch it car-
ries can be either front- or rear-mounted. Thats invaluable if the Land Tamer gets
stuck, and theres only a tree in front of or behind the vehicle for a crew to use to
winch itself free, because the winch can be moved to either position.
It also allows us to do more, he says. For instance, we can spray weeds
and carry inspectors at the same time. Before, we could only do one or the other.
Now we can kill two birds with one stone. If an inspector sees something, we can
take care of it right there while the inspector is there, instead of having to go back,
get the sprayer, then drive all the way back to the site to take care of the problem.
The Land Tamer is very valuable to us, he concludes. Without it, Id be
scratching my head, wondering if its even worth the headaches to do this kind
of work with the equipment we had. Its made life a lot easier for us. GOMC

ABOVE: An 8 x 8 with extended cab and brackets on the roof
traverses difcult terrain in the Arctic. The brackets are used to
bridge ice crevices. The unit has a three-point hitch attachment
on the front for snow plowing and ice auger attachments.
RIGHT: This 8 x 8 with fully enclosed cab and tracks is located in
the Ukraine for personnel transport to access a remote camp.
The enclosed cab can carry eight passengers.
rom a productivity and fnancial standpoint, an equipment breakdown
is the last thing a support-services contractor wants while working on
gas- and oil-well sites deep in the bog-flled bush country of Alberta.
Thats why Buchinski Enterprises Ltd. depends on a Land Tamer 8 x 8 XHD
all-terrain, low-impact, amphibious utility vehicle to help workers provide veg-
etation control and other maintenance services.
Our crews travel through everything from muskeg (bogs) to slews (bea-
ver ponds), says Bryan Buchinski, the manager of the company, based in
Manning, Alberta, Canada. The well sites might be two to three hours from
the nearest gravel road its nothing for guys to be gone all day.
They might travel in 10 or 20 miles off a gravel road, but there are no
roads, he adds. They follow cut lines (cleared land) for a while, but the
toughest stretch is from the cut lines to the well sites.
Made by PFM Manufacturing Inc., the Land Tamer is at home on land or
in water. The 8 x 8 extreme heavy-duty model travels on either eight, 33-inch-
high and 12 1/2-inch-wide agricultural tires, or four removable, 20-inch-wide
rubber tracks; each track wraps around two tires, and the tracks decrease the
ground pressure to just 1 psi. That allows the low-impact Land Tamer to easily
travel through swampy terrain, mud and snow. The tires also propel the vehicle
in water and keep it aoat.

ounded and platted in 1821, Indianapolis (population 876,804) is known
for being located at the Crossroads of America. Its unique and varied
tourist attractions are just part of what makes Indy, well, Indy.
According to Visit Indy conventions and meetings communications man-
ager Lisa Wallace, Visitor favorites include the green space, canal and attractions
conveniently located in White River State Park steps away from
hotels. Two new attractions include the Dallara IndyCar Factory
and our Cultural Trail, an innovative project connecting visitors on
bike or foot with hotels, restaurants and eclectic neighborhoods
throughout the city. The Indianapolis Museum of Art is also popu-
lar with prominent works of art inside and 152 acres of gardens
and grounds outside that house the original (Robert Indiana)
LOVE sculpture.
Those are just some of the attractions located in the citys
six distinct cultural districts. These include Broad Ripple Village, The Canal and
White River State Park, Fountain Square, Indiana Avenue, Mass Ave. and the
Wholesale District. Nestled in these districts are public art, galleries, museums,
shops and recreation. Four of the six districts are conveniently located down-
town, the site of the Pumper & Cleaner Environmental Expo.

See it all
Broad Ripple Village is set against the backdrop of public art, graffti mu-
rals and green spaces. Its the ideal venue for those adventuresome souls who
enjoy art, creative spaces and ethnic foods. Shopping options include works by
local artisans, as well as vintage furniture and collectibles. The Indianapolis Art
Center and the ARTSPARK outdoor laboratory are located in Broad Ripple.
The Canal and White River State Park are more for history and outdoor
lovers. Limestone walkways and American Indian art are part of the experience
in this district.
Scattered throughout the Canal and 250-acre White River State Park are
some of the citys most inspiring museums and attractions.
The Canal Walk on the waterfront provides an urban respite for
ftness enthusiasts and serenity seekers. This district is also home to the India-
napolis Zoo, the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art, the
Glick Indiana History Center, the Indiana State Museum and the NCAA Hall of
Champions.
Fountain Square is a historic community spotlighted by a town square
and central fountain, evoking images of a European city. It is a literary and artis-
tic haven and home to more offbeat activities like duckpin bowling and swing
dancing. More than 75 artists call the Wheeler Arts Community or Murphy Art
Center home.
Indiana Avenue anchors the district that spans the Central Canal and
White River. Here history, jazz, restored neighborhoods and spirituality embrace

The market changes constantly, and David Scheele attends the
Expo to keep pace. Ive made a lot of contacts over seven or
eight years, he says. Ive met people from Florida, Arizona,
California. I can go to them if I have a problem. I attend classes
that directly relate to my business, and Ive had some excellent
discussions afterward with presenters, who offer helpful
comments and ideas.

igh achievers. Go-getters. Type-A
personalities. Whatever you call
them, one thing is certain: These
people want to do it all, and they want to
do it all right now.
But while having many lofty and
simultaneous goals is a good thing, doing
too many things at once can make you feel
overwhelmed and stressed out. There just
never seems to be enough time to make
everything happen. But that doesnt stop
high achievers. They are determined to
make everything happen, even if doing
so ruins their day and everyone elses in
the process.
Realize that the answer to getting
everything done isnt about doing less,
especially since high achievers gain great
happiness from getting many things
accomplished. Theyre determined to do
whatever it takes to meet their objectives.
Rather, this is about having a system in
place to simplify the process of doing many
things fastone that will bring you prog-
ress as well as peace.
If youre ready to supercharge the
completion of your to-do list without
becoming overwhelmed or alienating oth-
ers, the following fve-step process will
help you get it all done, with less stress and
greater results:
Make a mess.
If youre like most high achievers, you
likely have numerous sticky notes, lists,
fles, piles, papers and a host of other items
scattered around your offce, on your desk,
and in your computer. Each one is
meant to help you move toward
reaching goals; however, as the
piles and fles grow, they become
overwhelming, no matter how
neatly you may have them orga-
nized.
Therefore, begin by getting
all of your ideas and notes in one
place. Make a big pile of all the
papers and items in the middle of
your offce foor or on your desk.
Dont leave anything out.

Sort and purge.
Now its time to roll up your sleeves
and start digging. Go through your pile of
stuff and look at each item to determine
what you should keep and what you can
toss. For each item, ask yourself:
Is this idea or information still
important to me?
Can I retrieve this information from
elsewhere should I ever need it?
Is this information duplicated some-
where else?
Will this information or idea help me
reach one of my goals?
As you decide which items to keep, put
them in separate piles or fles as they relate
to a particular goal or task.
Organize your list.
Look through all your keep papers
to get clear on which goals are truly im-
portant to you and what steps you need to
take. Put all your ideas and action items into
one organized list, preferably on one page.
You dont have to painstakingly detail every
action step at this point; the objective is to
simply create one coherent to-do list rather
than having multiple ones foating around
your offce.

Rank the list in chronological order.
Redo your list one more time, paying
special attention to the order in which you
feel you should do things. At this point,
you can also add more detail to your action
items. In other words, you can list not only
what to do, but also how to do it, who to
call for help, which resources you may need,
etc. You may feel as if youre wasting time by
going over the same tasks, but trying to rank
your ideas in chronological order is diffcult
until you can see them all on paper at once.

Get going!
Now that all your ideas are organized,
all you have to do is take action and tick off
the tasks as theyre completed. No more
thinking, planning and organizing; its
already done. And most important, no more
confusion of what to do when. Just look at
the list, take the top task, and knock it out.
What could be easier?

and achieve the results you want. GOMC

Whether its delicate precision around pipelines or muscle to
move mounds of material, hydroexcavators, excavators and
skid-steers get the job done By Ed Wodalski
Excavating around oil and gas pipelines or
digging through hard or frozen ground is no
problem for hydroexcavation equipment that can
easily remove sludge, slurries, mud, gravel and
other solids waste. When the job calls for muscle
to move mounds of material, call on capable
excavators and skid-steers. For the latest in
excavating, loading, grading and debris hauling
equipment, here are a few products to consider.

Whether its delicate precision around pipelines or muscle to
move mounds of material, hydroexcavators, excavators and
skid-steers get the job done By Ed Wodalski
Excavating around oil and gas pipelines or
digging through hard or frozen ground is no
problem for hydroexcavation equipment that can
easily remove sludge, slurries, mud, gravel and
other solids waste. When the job calls for muscle
to move mounds of material, call on capable
excavators and skid-steers. For the latest in
excavating, loading, grading and debris hauling
equipment, here are a few products to consider.

Tech Perspectives
The gas and oil indusTries were early adopTers of
hydroexcavation technology as a non-destructive method of uncovering buried
infrastructure. high-powered machines are serving a need on land-based drill
rigs, assisting in the logistics of moving and recycling oil-based drilling mud.
T-rex services, headquartered in houston, has served the gas and oil indus-
try in upstream, midstream and downstream applications since 2001. with addi-
tional offces in dallas, san antonio and west Texas, the company now provides
hydroexcavation and vacuum excavation services to an array of markets, from
industrial construction to municipal and utility contracts to grease trap cleaning.
refneries, oilfelds and shale plays, however, still provide the bulk of their work,
which can range from locating services to potholing and tank cleaning.
hydroexcavation is often required by plant or pipeline owners because it
is the safest way to excavate, says Tim Carmichael, president of T-rex. Theres
simply too much at risk in an oil refnery, for example, to leave underground line
location to chance. we have master service agreements with most of the major
players in the oil and gas industry, and often work as a subcontractor to other
service providers. we might be working for oil rig owners, drilling companies,
pipeline contractors or engineering frms.
Much of the refnery work is handled from the companys houston offce.
This is refning country, says Carmichael. name a plant and weve probably
worked in it. on the other hand, much of the shale work is handled from the
companys west Texas offce. The regional nature of the project mix helps to

MOVinG MUd
The work of the hydroexcavators at a drilling rig is simply to arrive and to
remove drilling mud and cuttings under instruction of the client. in some cases
the oil-based mud is transferred to the companys 130-barrel mobile tanker for
delivery and recycling according to the clients instructions. in other cases, the
mud may be removed from one tank and ejected via sludge pump into reserve
pits or other vessels.
This process can range from an 18-hour stint to days at a time, depend-
ing on agitation to the tanks that is performed to keep the mud from forming,
says Brad davis, director of sales and business development with T-rex. at the
end of the process, T-rex will go to the disposal to clean any additional mud
left in the truck and make sure the truck is free of any oil-based residue that can
cause environmental concerns. however, even though we may take the mud to
a disposal site, we arent a disposal servicewere working under the direction
of someone who has a contract with a disposal site. our expertise here is the
logistics of working with the oil-based mud.
The heavy-duty work takes its toll on the vehicles. T-rex employs eight
mechanics who perform preventive maintenance and keep the vehicles in shape
after a work day.
These arent just 18-wheelers rolling along from job to job, says Car-
michael. The drilling felds represent a challenging mechanical environment.
running a diesel engine, a hydraulic system and a vacuum system through all
that mud and adding a signifcant amount of vibration is a recipe that calls for
frequent maintenance.

tHE HUMAn RESOURCE FACtOR
each truck is operated by a two-person crew, that may expand to three if
the truck is operating remotely and fex hoses or piping are required to complete
the job. employee selection and training is a key factor in the companys success.

the oil-based mud is transferred to the companys 130-barrel mobile tanker for
delivery and recycling according to the clients instructions. in other cases, the
mud may be removed from one tank and ejected via sludge pump into reserve
pits or other vessels.
This process can range from an 18-hour stint to days at a time, depend-
ing on agitation to the tanks that is performed to keep the mud from forming,
says Brad davis, director of sales and business development with T-rex. at the
end of the process, T-rex will go to the disposal to clean any additional mud
left in the truck and make sure the truck is free of any oil-based residue that can
cause environmental concerns. however, even though we may take the mud to
a disposal site, we arent a disposal servicewere working under the direction
of someone who has a contract with a disposal site. our expertise here is the
logistics of working with the oil-based mud.
The heavy-duty work takes its toll on the vehicles. T-rex employs eight
mechanics who perform preventive maintenance and keep the vehicles in shape
after a work day.
These arent just 18-wheelers rolling along from job to job, says Car-
michael. The drilling felds represent a challenging mechanical environment.
running a diesel engine, a hydraulic system and a vacuum system through all
that mud and adding a signifcant amount of vibration is a recipe that calls for
frequent maintenance.

tHE HUMAn RESOURCE FACtOR
each truck is operated by a two-person crew, that may expand to three if
the truck is operating remotely and fex hoses or piping are required to complete
the job. employee selection and training is a key factor in the companys success.

TOUGH BOXES FOR A TOUGH INDUSTRY
At Northeast Industrial Manufacturing, We Make Them Tougher.
new hires are frst subject to a background check. The initial training regi-
men requires three weeks of intensive education and safety indoctrination. The
company employs in-house trainers, as well as three full-time safety staff.
after training, theyre apprenticed with our veteran operators who go out
in the feld with them until they learn the ropes, says Carmichael.
ongoing training keeps technical knowledge and safe work habits top-
of-mind.
ultimately, the success of T-rexs enterprise represents a careful balance
between human and equipment resources.
as a company serving diverse markets, youre balancing your feet and
staff between clients who have different schedules and needs, says Carmichael.
you cant pull yourself off one project to work on another, so you always have
to maximize your coverage according to a tight schedule. a lot of companies
in this business have from two to fve trucks. at our size, we employ fve sales-
people and two human resources professionals full time. with that support, we
can offer service over a wide area, but we also need to keep the feet busy to
justify it, and maintain a trained staff ready to work those contracts.

KEEP it SAFE
safety consciousness must be top-of-mind when operating hydroexcava-
tion equipment. This top 10 list of hydroexcavation safety tips was taken from
the safety and policy manuals of T-rex services.
1. Complete all appropriate training.
from safety training to equipment training to job site training, all employ-
ees must be kept up to date with current regulations and best practices.
2. Use a spotter.
all employees must use a spotter, not only when backing up, but also
when moving in tight areas, when dumping, or when working in areas con-
taining people and equipment. use a spotter not just for ground hazards but
overhead hazards as well.

3. Inspect your truck.
Complete a visual pre-trip inspection to verify hazards or problems with
hydroexcavation equipment before operating. This is mandatory under Texas
department of Transportation rules and regulations, but should also be manda-
tory according to company policy.
4. Drive safely.
hydroexcavators spend much of their working time off-road. when drivers
take the equipment on highways, they need to drive safely, attentively and de-
fensively. drivers need to learn how the truck will handle differently under any
load and adjust their driving accordingly.
5. Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
ppe protects employees from the majority of hazards they might encoun-
ter. wear hardhats, steel-toed boots, gloves, safety glasses, refective vests, face
shields for fying debris and earplugs. wear fame-resistant clothing and slicker
suits per site requirements or as required.
6. Complete confned space training.
This is essential training for hydroexcavation or for oil rig tank cleaning.
employees must learn to recognize and defne a confned space, and how to
protect themselves from its hazards, including hydrogen sulfde.
7. Perform a Job Safety Analysis (JSA).
fill out a Jsa form before initiating any job. it helps defne the scope of
work to be completed and identify and mitigate hazards on the job site through
engineering and the use of additional ppe. Jsas should be revised when the
scope of the job changes, and all employees must sign the Jsa acknowledging
they are aware of these changes.
8. Dump spoils on level ground.
Make sure a hydro truck is parked on level ground before attempting to
dump the spoils. failure to do this could result in the operator fipping the truck
over causing injury or death.
9. Ground out the truck.
The operator should ground out a truck whenever possible. This will not
only help protect employees if a truck comes in contact with an electric power
source, but will also prevent explosions of contaminated hydroexcavated mate-
rial producing explosive particles or vapors.
10. Communicate effectively.
Communication is the key to completing all work safely. in noisy envi-
ronments, or where
verbal communica-
tion is not feasible,
the use of hand sig-
nals is vital to mov-
ing the truck and
the boom. GOMC

Product Spotlight
The portable frac sand plant from McLanahan Corp. and CEMCO
produces a frac sand stockpile used in oil and natural gas drilling, as well
as a stockpile of material outside the size range requirements for frac sand.
The plant is easily transported from one deposit site to the next for frac and
sand mining at multiple locations.
Two operators can set up and disassemble the plant in less than eight
hours. Built for continuous duty, the plant has an average output of 150
tons per hour (depending on the separation point chosen) and meets all
DOT requirements for transport. Plant design is based on McLanahans
Hydrosizer separation technology mounted on a CEMCO chassis. The
standard plant design features two units on separate chassis, enabling it to
stay within the legal transportable height of 13.5 feet.
The two trailers and a skid have the sumps and pumps, the cyclones,
the Hydrosizer and dewatering screen, says Neil Hise, CEMCO president
and CEO. In addition to frac sand, the system can produce concrete sand
and masonry sand.
Erected size for each unit is 11.5 feet wide by 44 feet long by 30 feet
high and 8.5 feet wide by 50 feet long by 12.5 feet high. Four hoses connect
the units, creating an integrated plant. Units can be customized to meet
customer specifcations.
Basically it uses a fat-bottom classifer, says Chris Kelley, general
manager, aggregate processing, for McLanahan. The reason we use the
fat bottom classifer instead of the conical bottom discharge is because of
height restraints. The other unique thing is it uses a split-deck screen, he
says. The dewatering screen discharges two separate products from one
screen, which adds to the compactness. There also are leveling capabili-
ties. The trailer levels the weir on the fat-bottom classifer (FBC).
Sand is fed into a sump where water is added. The slurry, approxi-
mately 30 percent solids, is pumped to a cyclone above the hydraulically
self-erecting Hydrosizer separation system. Overfow from the cyclone con-
taining unwanted -200 mesh fnes fows to a tailings sump. Partially dewa-
tered underfow from the cyclone enters the FBC through a top entry well,
which eliminates turbulence and evenly distributes the feed (approximately
60 percent solids). In-
jection water enters the
Hydrosizer through
multiple, replaceable
nozzles located in the
bottom of the FBC.
Solids in the up-
per sorting chamber are
met by the rising water
and form a fuidized
(teeter) bed. Lighter or
smaller particles dis-
charge over a peripheral
weir, while coarser particles drop to the base and discharge through un-
derfow plunger valves. A PLC control system measures teeter bed density
and maintains a set point by controlling the rate of underfow discharge.
Underfow (8 mesh by 70 mesh) from the FBC discharges into the coarse
product sump below and is pumped to a second cyclone above a vibrating
dewatering screen that discharges a +70 mesh product.
Overfow from the FBC fows to a second sump and is pumped to a
third cyclone, which dumps material onto the other side of the vibrating
screen, discharging a -70 stockpile.
The all-electric powered plant (motors and pumps) has few moving
parts for lower maintenance and less downtown. Wear-resistant polyure-
thanes are used throughout the plant for increased durability. Operations
are controlled from a touch-screen control panel. 814/695-9807; www.

earing loss is a serious issue in
workplaces where noise is a con-
stant. But apart from using sound-
attenuated equipment and obeying OSHA
noise standards, how can you tell if your
people are exposed to noise that could do
lasting harm?
Now technology makes it possible to
measure how much sound an individual
employee is exposed
to. In a way, its like
the radiation-sensitive
badges worn by work-
ers in nuclear power
plants that measure
cumulative exposure
to radiation.
Of course, work-
place noise is not as
harmful or insidious as radioactivity, but it
can and does have cumulative effects. And
now you can measure actual exposure with
a device called the QuietDose personal
dosimeter from Howard Leight/Sperian
Hearing Protection, LLC.
The device measures and records a
workers actual in-ear exposure to noise
over an entire work shift. The company says
this is a major advance toward stopping the
progression of occupational hearing loss
and helping employers comply with hearing
safety regulations.

More than estiMation
Hearing conservation programs are
only as good the data theyre based upon,
observes Renee Bessette, COHC, market-
ing manager with Howard Leight. Existing
noise measurement devices only sample
ambient sound. This forces employers to
estimate workplace noise levels and base
hearing protection on potentially faulty con-
clusions. That can end up wasting money,
risking regulatory violations, and endanger-
ing employee hearing.
The personal dosimeter, on the other
hand, measures the actual noise levels
reaching a workers eardrums, in real time,
over an entire work day. This gives safety
managers high-quality, personalized data
they can use to create customized and effec-
tive hearing conservation programs for each
worker. That should mean fewer cases of
occupational hearing loss, thus fewer claims
and lower compensation costs for employ-
ers. Supervisors can also use the personal-
ized data to improve productivity by better
managing worker deployment in areas of
extreme noise, Bessette notes.
Workers themselves can personally
monitor and control their noise exposure
in real time, Bessette adds. Flashing alerts
indicate when noise exposure reaches or
exceeds prescribed limits.

in-ear MeasureMent
The system uses a small Exposure
Smart Protector dosimeter worn by em-
ployees in a shirt pocket or on the back of
a hardhat. It also includes protective eartips
or an earmuff with integrated microphones
that record real-time, in-ear noise levels; and
a connecting harness. An infrared reader
lets safety managers retrieve data from the
dosimeter at the end of each shift or work
week and analyze the results on a computer.
Using the system, safety managers and
employees can:
Track, document and address the
potential for occupational hearing
loss and Standard Threshold Shift in
real time
Select appropriate hearing protectors
for each employees noise environ-
ment
Train and monitor employees in the
correct use of earplugs or earmuffs
Streamline worker deployment by
more accurately matching shift
hours with proper protection
Identify potential opportunities to
eliminate dual protection (the use of
both earplugs and earmuffs)
Compare the beneft of monitoring
employee noise dose versus invest-
ing in engineering controls to reduce
specifc noise levels
Technology could apply well to activities
like high-pressure water blasting, industrial
vacuuming, and other tasks that involve
working around high-powered equipment. In
any case, its worth remembering the impacts
of prolonged workplace noise and to make
sure your companys hearing conservation
program is doing the job. You can fnd out
more about the QuietDose technology at
