That says a lot for the level of teamwork and commitment by the Corps and the contractors on this project. Inc. Siemens Power and Weld Mart, the main subcontractors, also were included in the partnering sessions. Team members transitioned from formal partnering meetings to a point where partnering was part of everyday operations. It takes free and open communication to make a project like this work. Partnering meetings are great, but you must coordinate with each other everyday.
Effective communications is just one of the things that project team members learned.
This was Voith s first major rehabilitation of a Corps power plant. It also took Voith some time to get accustomed to the Corps quality control and quality assurance program. Once they understood the program, they really focused on it. But with a little hard work and commitment on Voith s part, it has paid off. We have an excellent safety record and a much improved quality control program at the project site.
