AWS Skills Contest for High School Welders
We were proud to sponsor the American Welding Society’s (AWS) first annual skills contest for Colorado’s high school welders. Twenty high schoolers competed in both welding and written tests at Buckeye Welding Supply in Henderson. It’s great to see high school students taking an interest in the trades.
We want to give a huge shoutout to two of our team members who went above and beyond to make this event a reality. Vince Staff and Bill Niday – thank you for all you do for ICM and for your commitment to ensure Colorado’s high schoolers have knowledge about and access to many career paths.
Installing an Overhead Crane at Kirtland Air Force Base
We recently installed a new overhead crane to perform maintenance work at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico. The 58th Special Operations Wing (58 SOW) is a unit of the United States Air Force (USAF) that’s responsible for training aircrews in special operations, combat search and rescue and air refueling missions. The 58 SOW operates several aircrafts, including the C-130, which was in need of a new overhead crane to perform maintenance work.
The 58 SOW had been using a scaffolding platform that was operated by remote control to hoist parts and perform maintenance; however, it only went up three quarters of the height it needed to go and was difficult to maneuver, making it difficult to access certain parts of the aircraft. An overhead crane would be more accessible and convenient so the 58 SOW sought out Dawson Ohana and Industrial Constructors/Managers, Inc. (ICM) to fabricate and erect a crane runway that was to be eight beams measuring 156’ long, and install a five-ton overhead crane that would span 92 feet.
A lifeline was also installed, enabling workers to stand on top of the aircraft and be tied off above the crane so they can move freely to more easily perform maintenance. The lifeline cuts the time it takes to perform maintenance in half, and keeps the cadets safe.
