HEAVY EQUIPMENT
The Heavy Equipment team has 12 full time employees, three of whom are on an on-call rotation. This means heavy equipment is always available to support other University departments, or handle after hour emergencies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The team has at their disposal all of the necessary equipment to accomplish the many tasks that they encounter. Currently, there are two backhoes, a front-end loader, a Gradall excavator, trencher, roller compactor, utility tractor, skid steer loader and five dump body trucks. Digging footers for brick wall projects, taking out broken concrete sidewalk for replacement, trenching to install piping, or digging for broken water lines are some of the many uses of the equipment. We also use rocks to enhance the landscape and build hills to provide elevation in design solutions. The Hotel and Conference Center and the George F. Baughman Center are recent examples of our work.
The Heavy Equipment team is also responsible for maintenance of roads and parking areas, as well as mowing main campus and outer areas.
