The demands of data collection can be taxing for even experienced fielders, but what about new techs? Crews face obvious challenges by nature of their job, and dealing with bugs, heat, cold, rain, and more is part of their job description. But staying aware of your surroundings takes its own toll. Navigating confused (and sometimes suspicious) homeowners requires tact and grace. And the actual process of collecting data for eight to ten hours a day (or more!) can be mentally exhausting. While your rockstar fielders may take on the toughest parts of data collection with ease, getting new staff up to speed and comfortable can take months. To help you train new team members quickly and effectively, we’re developing a boot camp that walks first-time field techs through the OSP process. With the right onboarding, you can turn inexperienced staff into experts faster than ever. To tackle even the toughest days of data collection, field technicians need the resources and training to succeed. Give us a shout at hello@katapultengineering.com to learn more about our field boot camp!

One of the most frequently asked questions is: "How long does a service appointment take?" Most homes require about 3 hours. When the service appointment is complete, our lead technician will check in with you to overview your completed list of service items. You will also receive a final report via email with a completed checklist of all service items completed, along with before and after photographs of select service items. If any additional issues with your property are discovered, our technician will overview them with you and cite them in the report if requested

Here’s a shot of our Field Technician Federico Sabess performing a battery swap at our 4263 3rd Avenue in the Bronx. At this site, we have one vibration monitor installed that is monitoring a retaining wall for a neighboring property. In most instances, power will be provided by either the neighbor or our client with standard AC power supply, allowing the monitor to continuously do its job uninterrupted. In this instance, no power was able to be provided by either the client or neighbor, which requires some creativity. Thankfully, the members of our team are no strangers to solving problems. To compensate for this power absence, Federico is seen here performing the swap with two car batteries that will keep the monitors powered and charged for approximately one month. After the swap is performed, our team will bring the batteries back to our office to charge and re-use when needed. Unexpected issues can appear at any moment when you’re performing inspections and conducting tests out in the field. What matters most is how you rise to the occasions and overcome them. #DomaniInspections #NYC #Construction #Engineering #ProblemSolving #CreativeThinking #BatterySwap #VibrationMonitoring #Inspections #Innovation #TeamWork

There are many items that need to be addressed by the pipeline operator, prior to the start of the close interval potential survey. These include the following: 1. A specification detailing the work that is required, the types of acceptable equipment and most importantly, the experience level required of the survey crew. 2. The format required for the survey report. 3. Notifications to landowners and foreign pipeline operators. 4. A right of way condition conducive to the performing of accurate surveys. 5. Pre-survey checks on all rectifiers, bonds and isolation. 6. Provision of spare fuses in all rectifiers. 7. Information on wetland and swamp locations. 8. Information on river and creek crossings 9. Access to technicians familiar with the pipeline and right of way. 10.Detailed drawings of the pipeline. 11.Historical information regarding rectifier outputs and test station data. #cathodicprotection #corrosionprotection #pipelineintegrity

Ted Schremp & IQ Fiber I love this!!! Focus on employees and if they're treated well, they will treat customers well and they'll keep coming back. If customers are treated well they will treat shareholders well. (paraphrase from Herb Kelleher, co-founder, Southwest Airlines) Give employees a sense of #purpose, that what they do means something; give them #autonomy to solve problems on their own in a learning environment where trying things, inspecting and adapting is part of the culture; finally, encourage #mastery of their skills/talents - give them challenges that allow them to improve and grow.

I believe that most, not all but most people, when given respect will respond with the same. Excellent pay, benefits and training will attract and retain top talent that will watch the “till” when the owner can’t. Give people the chance at a real career, with all that entails, and then communicate what is needed for them to maintain that and you will have a successful operation. Make the job impossible to replace and they will do what it takes to protect it. Machines and supplies won’t get lost, wasted or misused. Efficiency will go up. Client satisfaction will go up and the carriers will begin to respond too when they begin to see better results. The adjusters have bosses, and those bosses have bosses, and they all get feedback from the clients too. If you make their jobs easier by making sure that they get less pushback then you will get less pushback. It starts with you, own it! You set the tone. If you act as though you deserve it (entitled) then you will reap entitlement. If you approach every day as though YOU must earn it, then you will find yourself surrounded by people willing to earn it. It is cynical to believe otherwise but it is a difficult leap of faith to trust this model because we are all being told, all the time, that people suck so you need to just get yours. The clients, the carriers, the laborers, the TPA’s, etc., they are all people like you and they can’t all suck. If you think that it is everyone else and that you are the only sane, good or hardworking one then… In short, respecting and honoring the efforts of your people, your boots on the ground, is about playing the long game. If you focus on short term success then that is all you will ever have.
