ECA trainers Joe Kinworthy and Jason Church tapped into
45 collective years of drilling rig experience to help opera-tors
from several respected foundation drilling contractors
improve safety and productivity. The course focused on
such topics as drilling rig stability, safe operation, ground
conditions, safe working platforms, productivity and
new technology.
“Drilling rig accidents often bring dire consequences,” said
corporate director of parts and service Dave Schell. “If we can
help to prevent even one tragedy for our customers, this pro-gram
will be a success.”
ECA can host a customized training session or bring
the program directly to a location of your choice. Contact

Canadian Construction Association: The U.S. imposition
of tariffs on steel and aluminum is unacceptable
The Canadian Construction Association (CCA) is surprised
by the decision of the United States to impose tariffs on
Canada for the import of steel and aluminium under section
232 of the Trade Act of 1962.
“The imposition of such tariffs will hurt the construction
industry, its workers and fundamentally all Canadians by
for reciprocity and the
establishment and maintenance
of a free-flowing international
system of trade, both in terms of
goods as well as services.
