EKpass Creates Successful Granular Base Course Training Program

 

September, 2014

 

EKpass responded to a very progressive minded rural municipal area who was looking for a unique solution to their specific needs. This forward-thinking municipal area planned to redo a 16 kilometer section of a highway within their jurisdiction. They requested bids from contractors, and were presented with bids that were more than a million dollars over their budget.

 

The municipal area was confident that with the necessary knowledge, their existing crew could be made competent to complete the road construction project, within their budget. As a result of their existing relationship with EKpass, and their previous exposure to EKpass capabilities, the municipal area reached out to EKpass for assistance.

 

After a series of conversations to determine equipment types, desired road specifications, and other criteria deemed important by the municipal area, EKpass customized a heavy equipment operator training program that was targeted to meet and exceed their expectations.

 

EKpass’ extensive equipment knowledge combined with more than 20 years of industry experience, in conjunction with the municipal area’s unorthodox approach to their goal resulted in a successful Granular Base Course Training Program.

 

Upon completion of this customized training program, the municipality’s crew of operators are now armed with a new set of skills that will prove to be very beneficial to the municipal area’s future development plans.
