Enginaire adds to its Cabaire™ product line to help its customers meet the new OSHA regulations for respirable crystalline silica.
By Janice Hoppe-Spiers
As the leader in air pre-cleaners for more than 45 years, Enginaire expanded its product line more than a decade ago to include cab pressurization systems so operators could breathe easier. The company continues to evolve its Cabaire™ product line as OSHA revises its regulation on small crystalline silica.
About 2.2 million workers are exposed to respirable crystalline silica in their workplaces and a more than half of these workers are in the construction industry, according to OSHA. “In September, OSHA passed its first revised regulation on its respirable crystalline silica standards since 1971,” says Mark Losching, director of sales and marketing. “There is a long list of new measures that companies need to take to protect their employees from silica. The new regulation has cut the previous permissible limit in half.”

Perera Construction’s team culture allows it to take the lead on complex projects and deliver remarkable results.
By Janice Hoppe-Spiers, Senior Editor at Knighthouse Media
Hank Perera relocated from Anchorage, Alaska to Los Angeles in 1989, leaving behind his residential construction company to start a new firm focused on commercial and institutional construction. Perera knew starting over in a city with 10 million people that the competition would be fierce. To differentiate himself he took on complex projects in the niche specialties of healthcare, telecommunications, higher education and energy.
“Those were my primary focuses when I came to California and I was able to penetrate that market pretty well,” Perera remembers. “The clients I developed in the early ’90s are the same ones we serve today. It’s all about building long-term relationships. City of Hope has been a client since 1990, Southern California Edison has been a client since 1992, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center has been a client since 1993 and Verizon has been a client since 1994, and we are still doing work with our original clients.”

As the only American manufacturer of under-bridge access platforms, Anderson Hydra Platforms provides the safest and most efficient under-bridge access available.
By Bianca Herron, Senior Editor at Knighthouse Media
After Pat Dandridge acquired Anderson Hydra Platforms (AHP) in 2014, his goal was to deliver the safest, most reliable and cost-effective piece of equipment for under-bridge access for inspection, construction and repair anywhere in the world. Dandridge also aimed to improve the customer experience with the York, S.C.-based company.
“I know that few projects are more complicated than under-bridge repair, upfit, restoration or maintenance,” CEO Dandridge explains. “The time and money spent on traditional scaffolding alone can make or break the profitability of the project. Even the slightest miscalculation could result in an enormous loss of profit or worse, human life.”
