“I am writing to express my appreciation towards Pittsburg Tank and Tower who provided high capacity fuel oil, raw water and de-mineralized water tanks for a GE 7FA simple-cycle Gas Turbine Power Plant in Cambridge, Wisconsin, from September 2000 through March 2001.
“I would like to also express my thanks to your site superintendent who guided a first class team during the construction phase of the tanks and competently met the demands of our rigorous schedule, consistently delivering workmanship of the highest quality in a high-pressure construction environment, not to mention the Wisconsin winter
GE Power Systems also appreciates the fine efforts of PTT’s management, site supervision and craftsmen during the project.”

“I would like to take this opportunity to extend to you my compliments and appreciation for the job that Pittsburg Tank and crew did here at Meredosia. The crew was very professional and safety conscientious about completing this job. The quality and quantity of work accomplished by these men was outstanding. Not to mention that all was done in a very safely minded way. I, as well as plant personnel were amazed at the amount of work this crew was able to get done on any given day. And to do it all without any accidents: OUTSTANDING.
Obviously, with very little rework or fit-up to do in the field, your manufacturing facility did an equally fine job of providing your field personnel of the needed components for this tank project.
Again, I thank you, Pittsburg Tank & Tower Company, and specifically the crew for a job well done.”

“I am writing to commend the work of Pittsburg Tank and Tower on the Jackson Pike J200, and Southerly S60 projects. Your crews have worked very safely and diligently on a very stringent project and tough place to work. There have been no issues with coordination, and your crew. Your crews worked through one of the toughest winters Columbus has ever seen, and still were able to maintain the high level of safety required to complete these silos. Your crews are very hard working and over time a trust was built between our employees and yours and your crew was labeled the “best sub-contractor on site”. We rarely had any issues with your workers and if there were any they were always minor.
In closing I would also like to take the opportunity to personally thank you for helping us get through many hurdles and obstacles that working for any City of Columbus job presents. Hopefully this job is a successful one for both of us. I look forward to taking any opportunity to work with you in the future.”

“Your crew is expecting to finish tomorrow. The job has gone very well with minimal disruption on my part and on the part of my wastewater treatment plant operations. The crew’s performance exceeded my expectations.
Any time a contractor works at this location it attracts a lot of attention from both the union representatives and the plant safety director. This job was no exception. Safety considerations are usually a troubling issue as we have some rigid procedures and expectations that are not standard in some other work settings. The explanations and practices employed by Pittsburg Tank met the concerns of our safety people. The cooperation with our union and salaried safety people is appreciated.
Thank you for a well built tank and a safe and speedy completion of the job.”

“Your firm recently completed the field erection of a 30’ diameter water storage tank as a lower tier subcontractor to F&G Mechanical Corp. on our Equinix Project at Secaucus in New Jersey.
We wish to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for the professional and safe manner in which your foreman and his crew conducted themselves while at the jobsite. In particular, their safety attitude and performance were exemplary and a clear example for the balance of the contractors on the job. Not once did I or my staff have to remind them to wear the proper PPE or take the appropriate precautions during the performance of their tasks.
We trust you will extend our appreciation to the crew and recognize them internally for a job well done in every aspect. You can and should be proud of the positive image your corporation exhibited by these employees.”

“I want to let you know that we are pleased with the job PTT did with the erection of the E-Coat Dump Tank here at the Ford Brownstown PRC.
The men came in and got set up and started building the tank the first day, with no delays. They were very self-motivated and conscientious about their work. They followed our safety rules and worked in a safe manner.”

“I just wanted to take a moment to commend Pittsburg Tank & Tower Company on their performance during the construction of the two (2) welded steel ground-supported clearwell tanks at the Village of Middlefield Water Treatment Plant.
The submittal process was timely and responsive to the consulting engineer’s comments and concerns. The erection and painting crews performed their work on the promised schedule and did so with a minimum of questions.
I would recommend, without reservation, using Pittsburg Tank & Tower Company for the performance of steel tank construction.”

“I would like to take this opportunity to convey to you how pleased me and my crew were with the performance and professionalism of Pittsburg Tank & Tower Company (Pittsburg) during the construction of the 200,000 gallon water storage tank which Roy F. Weston, Inc. (WESTON) procured from Pittsburg.
You and your staff supported the tedious and often frustrating process of submittal and health and safety approvals (which are required by our Client the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) with professionalism and timely responses. There were many instances when Pittsburg was notified of a need or requirement at the eleventh hour, and WESTON always received same day or next day turnaround from Pittsburg. Your field crews arrived on-time, ready to work, and properly trained. They also won points with our Client by maintaining an aggressive schedule to complete the work at hand once onsite. Any issues or problems which arose during the construction of the tank were handled quickly and efficiently by yourself and your foreman. In many instances, the problem was identified and solved before WESTON became aware there was a problem.
I will be completing an internal evaluation of Pittsburg for WESTON’s subcontractor data base. This data base is available company wide and is used to identify and assess subcontractors who have been used by WESTON in the performance of various contracts. Many of the comments I have highlighted in this letter will be reiterated on that evaluation. Thank you again. It’s been a pleasure.”

“I would like to thank your company for the work that they performed on our Tar Division tank project. We were under a tremendous time constraint on this project, and your company not only allowed us to meet our deadline, but consistently worked to stay ahead of schedule. Your crews were able to work around many obstacles including other contractors. We believe we received a good value from Pittsburgh Tank.
I have already recommended Pittsburg Tank to another treating plant in Louisiana and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who is in need of tank work.”

“Saguaro Power wishes to express its gratitude to Pittsburg Tank for a successful project in repairing our Process Condensate Tank.
You were very patient and very responsive when we were working together to determine and finalize the pricing and scope of our project. One of the reasons why we decided to go with your company was based on your willingness to work with us and your quick response to each of our planning iterations.
Even before the site work started, we had periodic and timely conversations that gave me assurance that you felt this job was important to both of us and that you would do what was necessary to meet our requirements. The material arrived just as you said it would. Those assurances were extremely
important to Saguaro.
Your crew arrived in a timely fashion, and was willing to go to work as soon as possible. The only problem I had with the whole project was trying to keep ahead of you and your crew. All of your team were professional, courteous, hardworking, and followed our rules. The job site was cleaned up when you left and our neighbors had no complaints about your work area. The bottom line was that the job was completed with no problems and that you completed the work ahead of schedule. I hope you enjoyed being here, both on and off site.
It is a pleasure, both personally and professionally, to work with a company such as yours that does such a good job and has fine people. Please feel free to use us for future recommendations."

“Pittsburg Tank and Tower Co., has been certified as a Drug Free Workplace by the Kentucky Department of Worker’s Claims.
The company is the fifth employer in the state to achieve that designation. The program was created by the 2008 General Assembly. This requires an employer to provide training for employees and supervisors and to test employees for breath alcohol and 11 narcotics (although Pittsburg screens for 12) as part of random drug tests, pre-employment screening and also must provide an employee assistance program.
The certification applies to the Pittsburg headquarters and plant in Henderson as well as at other locations around the country.”
