Pacific States Ergo Cup Team
Pacific States Ergo Cup Team

As the winner of the 2012 McWane Ergo Cup Competition, the team at Pacific States represented McWane at this year’s National Ergo Cup Competition and we are proud to announce that they were awarded the Risk Reduction Excellence Award!  The Excellence awards are unique because they are voted on by all of the conference attendees.

For their project, Pac States installed pneumatic-driven wedge(s) on the pipe extractor to break the sand core, which eliminated the need to strike the core 6-8 times with a 14-pound sledge-hammer.  This task was being performed up to 20 times per hour, for each pipe produced, 10 hours per day.

We are proud and honored to have these talented individuals as part of the McWane team!
