Major project in Dearborn begins with pledge of safety BY NIRAJ WARIKOO, Detroit Free Press
Construction workers who build underground containers take big risks to do their jobs.
But a unique partnership signed Thursday aims to reduce workplace injuries for them and others who will construct a massive structure called a caisson in Dearborn that will help keep the Rouge River clean after heavy rains. The agreement was made between the State of Michigan, unions, and a Detroit-based construction company, Walbridge Aldinger, that will oversee the $34-million project.
'Our main concern is to get people home safe to their families,' said Mike Davis, head of the Michigan Regional Council of Carpenters and Millwrights, the state's largest construction union, which was part of the agreement signed in Dearborn.------------------------------------------- posted 12:12 PM :: reference link ::
