😎 Sprague Excavating: Improving Our City one scoop at a time🚜

What a week! The Team crushed it improving our city this week (Except Matthew) — roads smoother, sewers and water mains improved, and only one Tape Measure mysteriously disappeared (we’re watching you, Lex).

Matthew had a birthday, and to celebrate, we selflessly ate Matthew’s birthday doughnuts while he soaked up the sun in Florida. Sorry, Mathew — next time don’t leave us alone. 🍩🌴😬

We hope you had a great birthday anyway! Your Birthday Card awaits you when you come back. We decided not to save the empty doughnut boxes for you!

💥 Muddy Monday: Honoring George Foreman’s Grit & Determination 💥

This week, we’re taking a moment to reflect on the life of a true champion – George Foreman. Known for his perseverance inside and outside the ring, George showed us that grit, determination, and hard work can turn any challenge into victory.

At Sprague Excavating, we carry that same relentless spirit in everything we do – especially when it comes to underground utility repairs. Much like George Foreman faced the toughest opponents, we face the toughest underground obstacles. But with our team’s unwavering commitment, there’s no job too big, no challenge too hard.
Here’s to overcoming the odds, pushing through the mud, and always fighting for excellence. Just like George, we keep swinging until the job’s done right.

🔨💪 Don't be afraid to take a punch this week. Keep driving forward and show the same relentless determination that George did in everything we do.

🚧 Safety Saturday: Roadway Safety 🚧

At Sprague Excavating, your safety is our top priority — whether you're behind the wheel or part of our hardworking team on the ground. This Safety Saturday, let's talk about roadway safety around underground utility repairs and lane closures.

🚗 For Drivers:
Slow down and be cautious around construction zones.
Watch for signage indicating lane closures or detours.
Always maintain a safe distance from equipment and workers.
Stay alert for flaggers or traffic signals that guide you through tight spaces.

👷‍♂️ For Workers:
Working in tight spaces with active traffic means staying vigilant.
Wear high-visibility gear and always be aware of your surroundings.
Use barriers, cones, and signage to guide drivers safely around work zones.

Let's Work Together Saint Joe! We all play a role in keeping our roads safe. Put the phone down, stay cautious, and ensure every job site is a safe space for both workers and drivers.

🚧 Safety Saturday Tip: Trench Safety Matters! 🚧

At Sprague Excavating, we prioritize the well-being of our team and ensure that every project is completed safely. Trench work is one of the most hazardous tasks in construction, but proper training and safety measures can make all the difference! We just completed annual Team Training, here are a few quick tips:

✅ Key Trench Safety Tips:
Always inspect trenches before work begins.
Use proper protective systems, like shoring or trench boxes.
Ensure safe access and egress from the trench.
Never enter a trench without the necessary protection.
Maintain clear communication among the team at all times.

📚 This Saturday, we’re celebrating Trench Safety Training as a crucial step toward preventing accidents and keeping our team safe on the job site. 💪
