“Happiness is not a station you arrive at, but a manner of traveling.”
Meet Dan Ford, Project Systems Supervisor within the Field Services team, who has been with Egan for 10 years.
Outside of the office, Dan’s favorite weekend activity is jumping on the trampoline with his kids. “I have tons of great trampoline memories from my childhood. Now, I can pass those onto my own children which is fun!”
Before joining Egan, Dan served for 10 years as a combat medic and was deployed to Iraq in 2005 for 22 months on the ‘Extended Red Bull Tour’.
Another interesting fact about Dan is that he spent all of 2015 using the Trimble Total Robotic Station software to lay out glass for InterClad’s project at U.S. Bank Stadium. Through this project, he developed a process for “Vertical Layout” that he presented back to Trimble.

The coldest months of the year are just around the corner and this means one thing if you’re a homeowner — turn on the heat!
Paul DeRosier, Egan Pipefitter Field Leader, and Trent Froberg, Egan Pipefitter Apprentice, donated their time and expertise to do just that through Project HEAT’S ON. This fall, DeRosier and Froberg volunteered to ensure a local homeowners house was safe and more energy efficient for the winter months.
Project HEAT’S ON was started in 1986 by the Minnesota Pipe Trades Association to service and repair furnaces of the elderly, disabled, and low-income homeowners. Each year, hundreds of pipefitters from 11 different unions statewide come together to participate and give back to the surrounding communities.
Since 1946, a Minnesota manufacturing facility has relied on the same two synchronous motors to power its plant. But now, after 70 years, the time has come to get an upgrade. Egan provided its expertise in constructing the electrical installation of two, newer, more modern squirrel cage motors at the manufacturing plant.
“Given the age of the motors, the price to replace instead of repair them was actually more cost effective,” said Paul Meier, Egan Company Project Manager.
Facts about the motors:
Egan’s team provided all pre-installation wiring of distribution gear and soft starters for the project. The soft starters temporarily reduce the load and torque of the power and electrical surge of a motor during start-up. In turn, this reduces the mechanical stress on the motor and shaft, which extends the lifespan of the system.
“The soft starters for these motors are an important piece to this project,” said Meier. “These will be a big factor in the longevity of the new systems.”
In addition, Egan helped coordinate the facility shut downs to install each of the motors. This included the logistics and functionality of allowing the facility to run off of one old motor and one new motor congruently in-between the two shutdown periods.
The health of your mechanical systems can directly impact the profitability, safety, and productivity of your building. Avoid unplanned downtime with maintenance from Egan.
