The DMW Installation Group is a highly skilled, professional team with a history of positive accomplishment behind them. The nucleus of this team is a group of 35 Field Superintendents with years of experience in the installation of Automotive & Industrial Conveyor Systems, Construction, Postal and Parcel Handling Systems, and Bulk Materials Handling Systems throughout North America. The ability of these Superintendents to manage not only our direct hire personnel but also the various Sub-Contractors that are required to complete a total operating system, is the primary reason for the success of our on time performance. Our workforce is drawn from the skilled worker pool of Building Trades union members.
 

DMW enjoys excellent relations with the Building Trades Unions that we work with at both the local and international level. We are signatory to several international agreements, including the National Maintenance Agreement (with four International Unions), the Millwright Agreement, and the Millwright Maintenance Agreement. We regularly attend various union conferences in order to stay in touch with the International and Local Union officials. Our approach to labor relations is one of partnership instead of an adversarial relationship.

All projects are under the leadership of a Project Manager. When a project is started, a Lead Field Superintendent is assigned and he/she will then report to the Project Manager for the duration of the project. Assistant Superintendents are assigned as required and they report to the Lead Field Superintendent. Any additional onsite staff such as Safety Coordinators, Quality Assurance Technicians, and Clerical Assistance may report directly to other managers, but receive their day-to-day direction from the Lead Field Superintendent.

DMW has field tool warehousest. From these warehouses, all field installation projects are supplied with the necessary tools and equipment to install the conveyor systems. Some large equipment, such as scissors lifts, boom lifts, fork trucks, and Broderson Cranes are rented as required. We have access to all types heavy installation equipment to meet any job site requirement.


All tools are inspected and certified to be safe and correctly operating before they are sent to the installation site. This insures that there are no delays at the site because of tool problems. Likewise, all rental equipment is covered by an agreement that any service that is required will be provided within a 2-hour notice.

All new employees are given an extensive safety orientation before they are allowed to go to work. All supervisors have been specially safety trained and all have been certified that they have completed the 10 hour OSHA Construction Safety & Health Training Course. On any job that the manpower exceeds 20 persons, a safety coordinator is added to the field staff.
