In August, a dive crew encountered an unexpected opportunity to put their safety training to use in route to Roanoke Rapids Dam to install a cofferdam. On the way to the boat ramp, they noticed a person laying on the edge of the road. It turned out to be an elderly man, unconscious and face down. Thankfully, the crew was able to wake him and help him get cleaned up. He was severely dehydrated, so they cooled him down with water and wet rags until an ambulance arrived. Our safety culture calls us to prioritize the safety of ALL with whom we come in contact, not just our fellow crew members. Congratulations to Mike Beasley, Robert Claxton, Ethan Stivers, and Kurtis Holguin for setting such a great example!

Juan Crofton stands next to a 1000-ton railway, designed and constructed by Crofton Diving Corporation in 1980, for Humphreys Railways in Weems, VA.

In May, we lost a dear colleague and valued teammate, Tim Harris. Tim joined the Crofton team in 2011 as a CAD Manager and worked closely with our clients obtaining permits. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, and colleagues who will miss him very much.
