Rick is the Plant Manager in Cumberland, Maryland and he will leave this year after having been with NEFCO for 11 years – as long as the Cumberland Plant has been a part of NEFCO! “As you know I am saddened but excited about retirement, I have made so many friends if only by email and phone conversations that will be missed going forward…the biggest thing I hope to enjoy is being able to do what I want to do when I want to. Wake up drink a cup of coffee and then decide what I want to do” said Rick when asked about retiring. Rick plans to go north and visit with the associates that have been so helpful and supportive to him over the years and thank them in person. During his retirement years he plans on being able to spend more quality time with his family, grand children, get projects completed around the house, and get some traveling in. Rick is opening another chapter of his life by coaching softball at Allegany College of Maryland…“being retired will allow me the time to do the recruiting aspect of the game which is such a vital part of the process and be there for the players and coaching staff.” We wish Rick Twigg all the best as he moves on to his next chapter!

Welcome Felicia Morrissette! → Posted on July 13, 2018 by Lisa Manuel Irujo and Bill Hollman were recently certified as Reliability Leaders. Both Manuel and Bill participated in a concentrated, week-long Certified Reliability Leader workshop recently hosted by The Reliability Leadership Institute (Reliabilityweb.com) along with leaders from many world-wide companies including participants from The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, The United Kingdom, Canada and Japan. The Certified Reliability Leader workshop focused on the role and actions of company leaders in whole life asset reliability decisions and whole life value delivery through a culture of leadership. A reliability culture is a business initiative to improve company performance via increased reliability of assets. The credo is “you do not have to go looking for reliability when it is where you come from.” The workshop was centered on the Uptime® Elements™ and the CRL Body of Knowledge (BoK) system, which provided guidance and a theory map of theory, to empower NEFCO’s two new Certified Reliability Leaders engage and empower every stakeholder in NEFCO organization as a Reliability Leader.

Welcome Felicia Morrissette! → HELLO ← Biosolids & Renewable Energy Innovation Technology Seminar Congratulations Manuel Irujo & Bill Hollman – Certified Reliability Leaders → Posted on March 15, 2018 by Lisa March 15th marked the 30th anniversary of NEFCO signing its contract with the MWRA to permit, design, and construct our flagship biosolids processing facility in Quincy to transport and process liquid sludge into a Class A biosolids product for beneficial use. In the early years of operation of the Quincy facility, liquid sludge loaded at the Deer Island Wastewater Treatment Plant was transported via NEFCO-barges that were towed across Boston Harbor to Quincy. In 2005, the MWRA began conveying its sludge to the facility via underwater pipelines. Today, 30 years later, NEFCO continues to operate this facility. This can only be attributed to NEFCO’s stewardship of the MWRA’s asset; preventive maintenance and proper equipment upgrades have resulted in some of the original equipment still being in service. Recently, a third-party engineering company inspected the facility and recommended continuing on with processing biosolids at the Quincy facility, saving the MWRA hundreds of millions of dollars into the future. This contract was the beginning of NEFCO and a single project turned into a company with six facilities throughout the U.S. This is certainly a day to celebrate. This entry was posted in news.
