plowing with the occasional digging job,” said Talbot. “We operate with five full-time and two part-time employees. We have been in operation for approximately 25 years.” Growing With Sons Talbot’s company had grown to as many as 10 to 12 employees, then back down to five, after the 2008 recession. “My oldest son, age 20, has worked for the company for the last couple of years,” said Talbot. “My youngest son, just eight years old, is showing a lot of interest.” Because he has trouble putting in a good word about himself, word of mouth is his most important advertising tool. “Ninety percent of our work comes from that,” said Talbot. To learn more about the quality of Talbot’s work, you have to speak to others. Testimonials abound on his Facebook page. People post reviews like “awesome” “best crew ever!” A woman named Angela writes about how a tornado destroyed seven acres of her property and Excavation Plus restored her yard better than it was originally. Brenda Scungio and her husband who hired Excavation Plus to dig the site for their home reveal how Talbot gets business. “I met Jerry when he was doing the excavation for a house next to the land we had just purchased in Wilbraham, Mass.,” said Scungio. “My husband and I had no idea what to do and how to start the excavation of the property. My husband walked over to Jerry and asked him a couple of questions and, within about 10 minutes, we knew Jerry was going to be doing the job. That was in 2004. “We have never had any water problems and our property is beautiful. Jerry is the most trustworthy individual. When building our house, [we did the contracting ourselves] he was reasonable and honest at all times,” said Scungio. “While Jerry was doing the site work on that property, our house that we were listing to sell, failed its Title 5 inspection and Jerry went right over and took care of that as well. So, Jerry has done two septic systems and the site work for our see EXCAVATION page 18

Site Development Grows Hartford County Business Site development is often an unseen and unsung job, but it forms the bedrock of every construction project. Expert site work can add thousands of vehicle miles to roadways and shore up structures and extend the life of underground utility lines for several decades. “What we do every day no one ever sees, but if you look down one of our pipes they are straight. If the job calls for six inches of stone, you know you are getting six inches of stone. It’s not worth cutting corners. When you hire Midstate Site Development (MSD), you know we have a standard. And it’s based on safety, knowledge and innovation,” said owner Glenn Korner of the Bloomfield, Conn., full service site contractor. Safety. Knowledge. Innovation. These three words pepper Korner’s conversation. They are the guiding principles for the business he founded in 2000 and symbolize his approach to how he delivers projects and the equipment he chooses. Hartford County, Conn., is Korner’s home and the epicenter of Midstate’s jobs. Neighbor ESPN contracted with Midstate to lay miles of duct banks, drainage and raising grades and install the athletic field seen on Sports Central. MSD also tackled site prep for new studios for the local NBC affiliate, including blasting and re-routing all communication and electrical duct banks, without any disruption to on-air broadcasting from its existing studios connected to the construction. As private construction slowed following the 2008 recession, MSD gravitated to bidding public works, taxpayer-funded projects that directly benefit Korner’s community, his 32 employees and their families. Today, the core of MSD’s jobs is in industrial projects, heavy highway site prep, and sewer, water and utility construction. To walk Korner’s job site, you see firsthand the changing demographic of his fleet and how he analyzes his equipment choices. He prefers to purchase rather than lease equipment, so reliability and residual value stay top of mind. A dependable Volvo fleet factors largely in MSD having near 100 percent machine availability. He realizes how the design of his

machines means reduced maintenance, extended operator comfort and faster cycle times. The cost and time savings this translates to the customer plus a proven track record of safety have factored in MSD being named one of Hartford County’s fastest growing private companies. Starting with his first Volvo, an EC340 crawler excavator, Korner eyed how he could maximize potential from a single machine. “Having Volvo equipment on the job makes a big difference. We were bidding a school job in Canton where we needed to pour a foundation wall down 26 feet to virgin ground. We won the bid because we chose to use a slide rails system instead of driving sheet pile. This saved the customer The EC235D works on a water main project. $250,000 and we were in Doug Ryan is Korner’s dealer piece of equipment gives extreme and out in two months because we had the EC340. It could easily lift representative of Tyler Equipment, flexibility. You do not have to the 30 foot slide rail beams, then the local Volvo Construction move multiple machines on and push them into the ground.

He added, “The availability power of that excavator, their jaws of lifting capacity and attachment eight Volvo units, ranging from a versatility you have in just one 2000 L90 wheel loader to the dropped to the floor.”

newest, a 2013 short radius excavator ECR235D and a 2013 L50G compact wheel loader. These two later generation models combine stout lifting capacities with streamlined body styling so they are better suited for the range of MSD’s applications. The same machine that fits snugly in a single lane of traffic has the heavy-duty breakout forces demanded of general excavation. As Korner considers fleet replacement, the decisions are not simple. The dependability of Volvo machines makes his choices more strategic than tactical. “Our fleet is a mix of Volvo and a competitor brand, but we are migrating to Volvo due to the ease of maintenance, the great support we receive from Tyler Equipment, and the quality and longevity you get from the machines,” said Korner. “Especially those excavators — there’s no pin wear. We have an EC240 with a hammer attachment with 5,000 hours. The pins are still tight.” “I’m in the unique position that all of my equipment, with the exception of the ECR235D and see MSD page 16

The Safety Management Team has more than 25 years of construction safety experience, and includes a full time safety officer. “Human nature is the biggest threat to safety,” said Korner, “You have to have a culture of safety where everyone is on board and you have the right safety equipment on the job.” He is adamant that every employee has access to proper safety gear on every job site.

Winter work typically consists of snowplowing with the occasional digging job, according to Jerry Talbot, owner of Excavation Plus Inc. EXCAVATION from page 4

house.” Scungio began working for him in October. “When I tell people where I work, most people around here know him or of him, and it is always a positive response. “Anyone that does work with Jerry likes him. I have known him for a long time and I just came on board here. I can tell you he is the best person to work for as well. I love my job,” said Scungio. “He has earned this. I don’t know many people that work as hard as he does. Jerry works all day, seven days a week. If he is on a job, when not actually running the machinery, he is fixing machines or prepping them or doing paperwork or scheduling the next job.” Like a Dream “The most fun thing about this work is getting to run all the different types of equipment every day,” Talbot said. “It’s like a dream when you are a kid.” And, like the child still very much within him, even though he imparts training to two vested sons on or near the job, he rates certain jobs on the fun quotient. “The most unusual project we ever had was building a corrugated bridge over wetlands so that a road could extend for a subdivision extension,” said Talbot. “We had never done anything like it before. It was a lot of fun.” But don’t let the boyish joy describing corrugated bridges fool you. Talbot takes his job very seriously. “Safety is very important to this industry. Most is common sense,” Talbot said. “Deep

trenches are the most dangerous thing, but if done right, they are safe as well.” Staying Alive With Adjustments “The jobs aren’t getting harder,” Talbot said, “but the industry is. If someone wanted to get into the industry, I would let them know how hard it is now. Expenses continue to rise — fuel, insurance, manpower — and you’re competing with people that aren’t getting what the work is worth just to keep going. It is a tough time now.” He has survived by adapting to the recessions, downsizing, price shopping materials — which he didn’t have to do before 2008. Extra materials are now being saved for future jobs, where before, the company would discard them. In addition, machines and heavy iron are being fixed, rather than being replaced. “The usual stuff,” said Talbot, a mere three-word assessment of the state of the small guy’s business burden in 2014. Yet, once again, Talbot does not give himself the credit he deserves for serving the center of his state with decent, fair, hard work. “I think we have lasted this long because we always try to give the customer what they have paid for and a little more,” Talbot said. “Honesty is key, not always profitable, but key.” For more information on Excavation Plus Inc. call 413/566-3293 or email xplus2@comcast.net.
