JOB: Gymnasium alteration. Taylor University, Upland, Ind.
MASONRY CONTRACTOR: Swackhamer Masonry Co., Pendleton, Ind.
Contractor Thanks MORGEN Scaffolding for 25%-30% Increase in Masons' Production
Swackhamer Masonry bricked a 120'x90' gymnasium 40' high using Morgen Tower Scaffolding.
"It's difficult to say how much better production we got, compared with tubular scaffolding," Doug Swackhamer says, "but I would estimate around 25% to 30%. This was our very first time we'd used Morgen Scaffolding and we had very few problems. The masons were kept busy, working constantly at a comfortable and highly productive level."
"We had no trouble scaffolding the corners or the offsets. The Morgen Scaffolding held tight even in 40-mile an hour winds we had at night."
"It's been a big difference in profit because it had lowered the labor costs and speeded up the whole job. We want to thank the Morgen people."
