I wanted to take a moment to share with you how supportive and thorough the JJ White staff has been. Jim Gallagher and crew were professional, efficient, and worked effectively together ensuring a system of communication that was essential for the successful completion of our project in a timely fashion. Please accept this endorsement of any future projects with the YMCA of Philadelphia & Vicinity.

Thanks to your excellent project management and site supervision we were able to safely and efficiently execute the outage within our planned estimates. Everyone worked well together and effectively communicated to achieve a common goal. The quality of work was superior and we experienced zero leaks on unit start-up.

Even more commendable than cost and schedule performance is J.J. White’s betterment of project safety goals which resulted in the safe completion of the difficult and potentially dangerous work required. It is our opinion that this achievement is at least partially attributable to JJ White’s recent expansion of it's corporate safety program, which through the implementation of twice weekly Tool Box Meetings, daily Job Safety Analysis, management oversight, and a safety incentive program served to communicate to employees the singular importance of safety and JJ White’s commitment to compliance.

The work was carried out, among all of the trades involved, with great attention to detail, cleanliness, courtesy, and ongoing communication at every stage. It was a pleasure to interact with everyone from your organization, and many of us from the School of Pharmacy looked forward to our daily visits to the construction areas in order to appreciate the progress.

I just wanted to extend my thanks to you and your team.  Particularly, Carl, the foreman working on Tank 301.  It came to my attention that Carl exercised Kinder Morgan’s “You Can Stop” philosophy while beginning work on the floor of Tank 301. Carl deftly recognized that the pontoons on the roof were not tested and did not conform with JJ White’s internal safety procedures. The pontoons were tested and came back hot, potentially resulting in an unsafe working condition.  Work schedules were shifted and priorities were rebalanced, but at the end of the day everyone is safe – which is the paramount priority. It is this kind of safety mindset we are excited to see and it speaks volumes of JJ White’s commitment to safety and quality.
