Some people choose a life of ease. Here at #MidwestMole, we choose a life of #grit. Only two things are guaranteed in our line of work: the #dirt on our boots & the #passion for what we do that runs through our veins. We call that the #MudAndTheBlood.

The focus of #WomenInConstructionWeek2023 is to highlight women as a viable component of the #construction industry. It's also a chance to raise awareness of the opportunities available for women in the industry & to emphasize their growing role in the industry. #GirlPower

#Construction has mainly been a heavily male-dominated industry. Today, construction is not only open to women – it’s in need of them. #WomenInConstruction #GirlPower #WomenInConstructionWeek2023

Tips for Women in Construction: • Get your hands dirty • Keep tabs on your goals • Stand out • Stay educated • Allow yourself to be helped • Build up other women #Construction #WomenInConstruction #GirlPower #wicweek23 #WICWeek2023

In the construction industry, women are greatly underrepresented. Just 9% of U.S. construction workers are female. Here is a look back on some of the powerful women in history that helped to pave the way for the women today who want to be given a chance.

As females in a male-dominated #construction industry, it's not ez to walk onto job sites & feel comfortable. It takes #workethic, #commitment, & #determination. We're proud of the women on our team. We celebrate not only them, but all #women during this #womeninconstructionweek.

We take every opportunity to solve problems and find efficient solutions. We also know that sometimes it just takes working harder than the rest. We’ll keep getting our hands dirty until the job is done right. #hardwork #DirtyJobs #MudandTheBlood #HDD #Solutions #Trenchless

Sometimes we just have to do it the old-fashioned way & #tunnel by hand. When tunneling by hand, we utilize protective shields, which may have a forward projecting bib to provide additional face stability during the excavation. #midwestmole #handmining #trenchless

Clean & organized #jobsite are safe #construction site- no exceptions for our Mole's trailers. By ensuring everything is put away & stored correctly, we increase #safety & reduce risks. We improve efficiency, build morale, & maintain a level of professionalism. #safetyfirst

#mission statements aren't simply stating your company’s desire to be the best or make the best product/service. It's a way of showing what makes you #standout. They shape the #culture of the company. #MidwestMole #MissionStatement #StandOut #Goals

When work gets #tough, and it will, we must #persevere and push #onward. There’s a #solution to every problem, even if we must first step back to move #forward and find our way through it. #MudandTheBlood #WhereTheresAWill #ProblemSolved

HDD is a minimal impact #trenchless method of installing #underground #utilities . #HDD allows greater accuracy & flexibility in placement- ending the need for costly digging, large crews, road closures, & other complications of traditional digging and pipe installation.

An #ownership mindset= taking responsibility for outcomes & being #empowered to make decisions. As an #ESOP company, each one of our Moles has an active stake in what we do. Every Mole truly is #passionate about what we do and our success. #ownershipmentality #committed

We define a #win as something that improves the lives of our #partners, our #community, & our #family—and we love to win. We believe everyone, including our competitors, has the potential to create a win, which is why we build all relationships on #trust, #respect, and #honesty.

The importance of line & grade #accuracy in a #boring #project is crucial. There is always a maze of existing #underground conditions that require precision-like bores every time in order to prevent an accident that could result in costly delays. #survey #accurate #Precision

#HDD, is a #trenchless method developed in the #70s Instead of digging the entire length of the pipeline, HDD only requires a small excavation at the entrance & exit points. Fewer open holes = less risk to workers & equipment = safe choice.

This week is National Work Zone Awareness Week.#NWZAW It takes just one minute more to travel through a two-mile work zone at 45 mph than 65 mph. Take extra care to pay attention & expect the unexpected. #WorkZoneSafety is everyone's #responsibility ! #WatchForUs #slowdown

Please take a moment of silence today for those who lost their lives in a work zone accident. Unfortunately, this number is all too high, so this awareness is needed now more than ever. Slow down. Stay alert. Be patient. We are all in this together. #NWZAW #WorkZoneSafety

We are very fortunate to have some of the best admins here at #MidwestMole. It is their dedication, perseverance, & hard work behind the scenes that keep our company running smoothly. Happy #AdministrativeProfessionalsDay Day #Admin #Celebrate #Thankful #ThankYou
