Training

Our field management and environmental labor forces have received OSHA training in accordance with 29 CFR 1910 and our staff closely monitors and schedules refresher classes as required. In addition, our employees possess DOT, CPR, First Aid, and confined space training necessary for environmental, electrical and construction project scenarios. Additional professional training dealing with the removal, maintenance and installation of UST’s and AST’s are provided to our employees through equipment manufacturers. Likewise, where necessary, our field personnel are involved in an on-going medical monitoring program to meet federal, state and project requirements.

Our safety record is flawless with safety an integral part of our daily operation. Our work is performed "by the book," and short cuts and common practices not recognized by the construction, electrical or petroleum industry are strictly forbidden. We rely heavily on the National Electrical Code, State of Hawaii UST Technical Guidance Manual, the American Petroleum Institute’s and the Petroleum Equipment Institute’s "Recommended Practices and Procedures," as well as the local county Fire Departments.

FOPCO Fleet and Equipment

Our equipment and vehicles are new and well maintained. To preclude delays and frustrations inherent with rental equipment, we own our major excavation equipment (Excavators & Backhoes) as well as extensive support equipment. We employ a full-time mechanic to ensure our equipment is in optimum operating condition.

Administration

Our management, financial and administrative staff are equipped with the latest in computer hardware and software, which are instrumental in the generation of accurate and timely reports and correspondence. Our office automation is supported by an outside firm which ensures our systems are continuously maintained and updated with the newest innovations.
