International PaperTo Doug Edwards, Fisher Tank Project Manager: Please pass along my sincere thanks and praise to the team you sent to build our new Sodium Chlorate Unloading Tank at our Flint River facility. During construction, our facility was in the process of improving our Confined Space Permit which posed a problem for several other contractors at our site, but James Orr and his Fisher Tank team adapted with ease. On several occasions, our Mill Manager and EHS Manager visited the Fisher Tank jobsite. They reported that the Fisher Tank team was incredibly knowledgeable of the hazards of their work, had made great efforts to mitigate these hazards, and were properly prepared to respond to any changes in jobsite conditions. Furthermore, not a single violation was found with regard to our safety rules and expectations, which is an accomplishment not easily achieved. The operators at our facility also send their thanks to the Fisher Tank team for their jobsite cleanliness and overall professionalism. In my years working with these operators, I have never known them to compliment any contractors – so please know their praise is not easily earned. It was an absolute pleasure to work with James Orr’s team and I look forward to working with Fisher Tank again in future!

Superior Plus EnergyI just wanted to say thanks for removing our tank bottom floor out of Tank #114. The crew you sent under the direction of Doug Hill did an excellent job. I have never seen something like this done before. I did learn a few things from Doug, he certainly has a lot of knowledge. The guys are hard workers and I have no complaints at all. They started every day early and worked even past my scheduled hours. I would check on them often to see how the progress was going and I always noticed they were being safe. Hardhats and safety glasses were on at all times and oh yes…definitely the ear-plugs. Also the area they were in was picked up and organized. I couldn’t have asked for more.
New Page Corporation” I wanted to take a moment to commend your crews on a job well done during the 2013 6A Coal Silo Rebuild. I would specifically like to recognize Doug Hill for his efforts during the project. As you (and he) are aware I had some concerns about his capabilities at the beginning of the project. After that all Doug did was prove me wrong shift-after-shift and day-after-day. Doug has a tremendous work ethic. Additionally his planning and schedule updates were spot on. I would ask that if Fisher Tank is successful in securing the 2014 silo re-build Doug returns as superintendent.
Energy Services, Inc.I wanted to take a moment and to say a few things. First I would like to Thank you for having Doug Hill and his Crew build our DI Tank it has been a great pleasure working with all of these guys! They are some of the hardest working men that I have worked with in a very long time. You folks at Fisher can and should be very proud to have ALL of these men…They have gone the Extra mile here at Perryman 6 with SAFETY and [they were] STILL able to meet our schedule. Doug and his [crew] showed that you can work safely and still complete your work on time. Thanks for all the hard work.

Duke EnergyTo Doug Edwards, Fisher Tank Project Manager: I just wanted to reach out and let you and others at Fisher Tank know that the foremen James Orr & Norman Lowder and the crew of guys they had on-site were jam up. I enjoyed working with them and I learned a lot from them about tanking and the tools and methods they use. This was my first Tank build and it was interesting to me watching the tank being built. The paint crew of Chris Barrentine were great to work with as well . They did a great job coating the tanks and keeping me informed about the process. Both the builders and the painters worked great with the other vendors to keep all jobs on the site running smooth so no one had any unforeseen down time. Please relay this message to the Fisher Tank management. Joey Thompson, Implementation Manager, Duke Energy
