"TEAMWORK"

   JE Merit Constructors, Inc. ,

        building a new plant addition

  They're still building at the at a Plant southeast of Pasadena, TX. The new un-named facility is well underway and yet, another new addition is forthcoming. Mr. Lester Pinkard, general superintendent, "..says that the structural steel portion of the project, was completed nearly two weeks ahead of schedule, and the piping & instrumentation are ahead of the

rig-to & lift the column

early curve. We've had a good plan and some good employees."

The role call for JE on this project, peaked at a little more than 180 employees.

 

Ironworkers erected some 256 tons of structural steel in a little over three months. "We used two Model SRS 12 JEM LATCH®s while working multiple raising gangs (crews) to erect the steel." The heaviest columns weighing in at just over 16,000 lbs. Connection lugs, stub outs; all sorts of things that would make it difficult to cut loose & retrieve the load slings without the JEM LATCH®.

"Today, the land for these projects is scarce, so there's little room for the structure and fixed equipment, let alone cranes, & man-lifts, etc., that you need to work with. I saw the need for the JEM LATCH®, not just for the steel, but for the installation of the silos, so I recommended the tool to Mr. Scott Hempstead, Manager of Construction, JEMCI."

JE Merit employes more than 20,000 people at any given time.

 

Safety is our top priority. We want these guys on the next job with us. We have a responsibility to do everything we possibly

lift, set, and secure the col.

can, to see that the client gets a quality job, and, that it's completed safely.

 ...slack the hoist line, pull the                release cord,

the load sling is cut loose,now get back up on the hoistand retrieve the rigging...
