Yesterday, one of General Excavating’s hydro vac crews assisted Lincoln Fire & Rescue with a technical rescue following a trench collapse.
Trench collapses are one of the deadliest hazards in construction, and too often these situations have a different ending. This serves as an important reminder that no deadline or shortcut is worth the risk. Proper trench protection and safe excavation practices save lives.
We are grateful to see another positive outcome from a trench collapse and are honored that Lincoln Fire & Rescue trusted General Excavating to assist with the rescue efforts. Working together, the quick response, coordination, and teamwork of everyone involved helped make this rescue successful.
A huge thank you to our crew for stepping up in challenging conditions and extreme heat, and to the dedicated firefighters and first responders who work tirelessly to protect our community. We are proud to support our community and assist when our skills are needed most!
UPDATE: Lincoln Fire and Rescue has freed a man trapped in a trench collapse in east Lincoln Tuesday.
General Excavating was proud to support the University of Nebraska – Lincoln Construction Management program for a day of hands-on learning with our field professionals.
Students had the opportunity to step out of the classroom to operate heavy equipment, participate in a safety toolbox talk, and connect with industry professionals about careers in construction. Experiences like these help bridge the gap between classroom knowledge and the realities of the field.
Thank you to the UNL Construction Management students and faculty for spending the day with us. The future of construction is bright!
