  • Highlighted Points
  • I only took this job to further my carreer and Paul Vadnais offered me a very robust salary and it was understood that this would be temporary. Holmes Rd project in Houston Texas was in bad shape when i arrived back at vadnais Under staffed and no experienced hands on site, i brought in 2 foremans from a previous company and hired in men i could trust and teach. The project was already 8 million in the hole due to 2 failed runs. It took a year to complete all 9 of the tunnels and fix the failed runs. The plan coming into this project was to stop the bleeding, and finish it out so they could close up shop. When the project concluded We had gained back a hefty portion of the lost money due to the failed runs.
