"I want to say thanks for a job well done.
I know it wasn't easy to keep rescheduling our New York
test and we didn't give you a lot of notice when we
finally got our "window" to proceed, but it did
happen and it was very successful. Both Tom and
Clay worked a lot of hours and did a great job of flexing
with the situation. My sincere thanks to Tom for
his mechanical aptitude and all the different
"hats" he wore from welder to shoveler during
the test. I look forward to future opportunities to
with The Judy Company."

"The plaque being presented to you conveys the
appreciation of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for your
outstanding efforts in accomplishing the timely repair of
drilling and grouting voids beneath the intermediate and
land guide walls at Lock and Dam 26 near Alton,
Illinois. I want to add my congratulations and
sincere thanks for a job well done. The need for
this repair work of filling the voids beneath the main
lock was of the highest priority to the St. Louis
District. Through your professional skill and
dedication,k the required number of main lock closures
for performance os the work was less than anticipated in
the contract thereby reducing the delays to navigation
tows at Lock and Dam No. 16. Again, thanks for a job well
done."
From the Final
Partnership Meeting Minutes for
Red Rock Dam Remedial Grouting State II
"Many of the Nation's top drilling and grouting
professionals were involved in one way or another during
this job. These people included OCE, WES, NCD, ORD,
Nashville, Huntsville, New Orleans, and St. Paul
Districts, Indeco Inc., National Baroid Co., The USGS,
and Iowa State University. We discussed project delays
caused by mechanical problems, drilling difficulties, bad
weather and high water. Mr. Kelley commented that this
job turned into a 'state of the art project'. OCE and the
many people cited above teamed together with The Judy
Company using many approaches and ideas which eventually
resulted in a quality product. The group agreed that the
project was indeed very cost effective even with the
modifications.
It was pointed out that there was no lost time
accidents. Messrs. Greenwood and Barickman mentioned how
important and successful the safety and coordination
meetings were. The preparatory meetings were also very
helpful in getting the beginning and the end of the
construction session outlined as well as getting
equipment set up, in place, ahead of time.
Messrs. Briggs and Corey again mentioned how important
the partnering charter was and how it helped resolve many
problems on-site. Most heavy equipment mods and repairs
were accomplished during the winter. Mr. Barickman
pointed out how successful the portable grout plants were
in moving from section to section especially toward
project completion.
Col. Mudd presented awards to ... Boden of The Judy
Company. Mr. Briggs concluded the meeting stating that
the Rock Island District has certainly profited both
technically and professionally from the remedial grouting
project."
