This achievement is a tribute to the collaboration across the entire organization to uphold a safety-first culture for all. I look for your ongoing efforts to champion this ethic as we strive to make this company an even safer place to work. As we move into 2019, we are seeing trends that signal growth and demand for our expertise in the industry. Following the most recent election cycle, state leaders are committed to maintaining vital upgrades and seeking to repair decayed infrastructure throughout California. This focus on critical reinforcement means more work for all of us here in the state. Similarly, on a national level, the current administration is committed to improving our nation’s waterways, ports, harbors, and beaches. One of our most valued clients, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is embarking on one of its largest capital expenditure projects in recent memory. While this enormous increase in funding will bring many opportunities, it will also require a new level of discipline and focus while executing work in our core business. Our company is currently in the process of upgrading and building new assets to meet these increased demands; we are also continuing to research the development of additional assets that will improve our productivity and performance in the future. Integrity is at the core of how we do business, both in service to our clients and within our operations. Through training and educating our future leaders, and consistently providing a high- quality product, our strength is rooted in our people and our values. The new CLIMB program for employee development has assisted in bolstering our future leadership at all levels, in all divisions and departments. With our focus on successorship combined with the talent and energy of our employees, I am very proud to say that we are continuing to build an organization that will succeed far into the future. Let us be proud and united in our efforts, and may 2019 be a prosperous and safe year for all of us. Best, Bill T.
