SERVICE

Layton Employee Builds Ramp for Disabled VeteranBy Jason Hill

I was approached by a friend, Tim Foley, who works in conjunction with the Road Home to find housing for homeless and disabled veterans. They found an apartment for a homeless, disabled vet, but it needed a wheelchair ramp and he couldn’t find anyone who could do the work. They were in danger of losing the apartment and asked if Layton could help. I asked Superintendent Brad Woodford, and he agreed and met with Tim on site.

Tim had previously lined up donated lumber for the ramp, but unfortunately that also fell through. Without being asked, Brad went around to the various lumber suppliers and told them about the project. Stringham Lumber agreed to donate the wood, and Burton Lumber agreed to donate the hardware and handrail. In the end, the only investment was Brad’s time. He went above and beyond to get this taken care of.

Chris Collier, SSVF Housing Coordinator at The Road Home says the ramp made an immediate impact. “We would like to extend our deepest appreciation for your recent help with the wheelchair ramp you constructed for our veteran. It brings us great joy to inform you that he is doing well as he adjusts into permanent housing, and part of that adjustment we owe to you.”

“We couldn’t be more grateful to you for helping our veterans be comfortable in their new homes, as we know they fought for the

comfort we enjoy in our own homes.”

Chris Collier, The Road Home

COVER STORY

When a subcontractor brought an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), also known as a “drone,” to a job site, Layton Superintendent Bob Hendrickson immediately saw the possibilities.

“After watching him fly the quadcopter, we sat down and talked about its capabilities. We always pay someone to do photos, and for the same price we can own our own equipment to use on multiple jobs,” Bob said. In addition to the cost savings, “for me the biggest benefit is to gain an overall bird’s-eye view of a project and to be able to watch the progress. It’s also a great timeline tool.”

Another benefit is being able to track installation of equip-ment that is difficult or im-possible to see from ground level. “It is a great tool to watch safety on a roof without climbing up there yourself to make sure everyone is tied off and fall protection is in place,” Bob said. “I have a great video of roofers using their ‘Yo-Yo’ to place standing seam roofing.”

Other contractors across the nation are also using UAVs

for safety monitoring, theft protection and progress tracking. Photo and video quality are excellent at 14 Mp and 1080 HD, respectively. Bob said learning to fly the UAV is not hard but does take practice, and operators must always be aware of their surroundings. He said clients

have responded enthusiasti-cally to photos and footage.

Many companies across the U.S. deploy UAVs, and they have been in commercial use for years in other countries. Congress and the FAA are sorting out regulations re-garding safety and privacy.

GROUNDBREAKING

Cottonwood Heights Makes Space for New City Hall

The city of Cottonwood Heights, Utah, bought – and then demolished – eight homes to make way for a new city hall. Layton will begin the main construction in spring on the new 38,000 SF build-ing which will house city administrators and the police department.

Cottonwood Heights Mayor Kelvyn Cullimore and former owners of the demolished homes were among the citizens who operated the backhoe to bring the structures down.

The new municipal complex is being built on what Mayor Cullimore calls “a public plaza.” The city hall will be next to a middle school, the Cottonwood Heights Recreation Center (where Layton has also done work) and the major city park.

Mayor Kelvyn Cullimore of Cottonwood Heights, Utah, takes the controls as demolition begins in order to make way for a new municipal complex.
