How to Stay Out of Court by Early, Pro-Active Risk Management Systems – Yours
When a pile driving contractor bids a large project, often it literally “bets the company.” The contract, financial, and safety risks are potentially high. Against these steep risks, the contract forms, work procedures, insurance, and business relationships only provide so much comfort if something goes really wrong. Whether a differing site condition that triples the shifts, a specification that does not work, a tough owner or prime contractor, project delays, a crane accident or utility obstruction, somehow the finger pointing often seems to aim at the pile driving contractor, the one who is just doing his job, because at the bottom of the project “food chain.” At yet, in this or any economy, there is little realistic opportunity to turn down a business opportunity to bid a risky job. Pile Drivers are known for “can do” attitude of “never give up” that reminds one of the Navy Team 6 that took out Osama Bin Laden. No failure is permitted. We will “get r’ done” as the famous Comedian Larry the Cable Guy is fond of saying. So, what can the pile driver do to get the work and not get burned?
