Greetings Greetings!
With the holidays behind and the new year upon us, let's reflect on some end of year fun. During the fall we enjoyed a festive feeling with a company-wide Halloween costume contest where a Mandalorian was spotted in Monrovia! Moving into November, we spread our thankfulness to four different communities. Our canned food drive collected a total of 928.3 lbs of food that was dispersed to four local food pantries. Our employees also got into the winter spirit with ugly sweater contests and lastly, we celebrated together at our annual Christmas party where we gather as one company to honor the season and accomplishments of our staff. We made some great memories on John Wayne's yacht in Newport Harbor viewing the Christmas lights in the bay! Needless to say, the holidays were busy time but we're glad to be given this time to spend with friends, family, and the communities we serve.
Some professional highlights from our staff included the addition of new talent to the team. In Prescott, Arizona we welcomed a new Senior Project Manager to our team. Ben Townsend, PE has spent the last 30 years in the Northern Arizona area and we're confident his relationships and dedication to the work we do will serve the Prescott Office well. We also welcomed a new Staff Engineer as well as a new CAD Operator to our Monrovia Office. Hao Liu, EIT, PhD, is our new Staff Engineer with seven years of engineering expertise. Vie'Zora Rasperry has been plugging away on projects as our new CAD Operator.
Other than new faces we also had significant milestones and a goodbye to say at the end of 2022. In 2018 we welcomed a new Principal Engineer and a new service line, Electrical Engineering, into our company. It was with Stephen "Sky" Younger, PE, that we were able to take on new electrical and controls projects and cover more project elements. As of the last day of 2022, Sky has officially retired and Heber Torres, PE has taken over as the leader of our electrical department.
Our President, W. David Byrum, PE as of October 1, 2022, has officially been with Civiltec for three decades. During this time, he has been instrumental in the development of our company culture and managed many projects to completion from conceptualization to construction. David, thanks for all you do!
Our Office Manager, Diana Occhipinti, also reached the same 30-year milestone in 2022. Diana accomplishes all company operational tasks that no one would wish on their worst enemy. Thank you, Diana, for your big heart, all of your hard work and attention to detail!
Not only were we busy with the holiday rush, but also with projects galore! A key part of our business model is on-call contracts. These efforts translate into more work and serving communities like that of the City of Beverly Hills. Since 2016, we have enjoyed as-needed development support services and Sara Canche has been increasingly involved with these projects. By the way, Sara will reach her 30-year milestone with Civiltec this July!
New engineering projects continue to flood our offices with work. Recently, led by Terry Kerger the North Tank Rehabilitation project has been completed, the Industry Business Center has its new recycled water reservoir, the Plant 58 Transmission Main has been completed, Well 22 piping for the City of Corona is going to construction, and on a larger scale, the Miragrand Well and Valley County Water District's CIP water main replacements were finalized. In Arizona, we're continuing our work on TSMC and kicking off the long-term flood mitigation projects associated with the Pipeline Fire. TSMC is a $40 billion project and will produce the smallest, most advanced microchips on the planet! $50 million in Emergency Watershed Protection Program funding is in place for Pipeline Fire mitigation. Time to get even more busy! It is so exciting to see our hard work for clients come to fruition and improve our communities.
