Massena Seaway staff honored in Washington for ‘exemplary’ work

Posted

WASHINGTON -- Engineering, maintenance, and procurement staff from Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation operations at Massena were honored at the 44th Annual Department of Transportation (DOT) Secretary’s Award Ceremony Thursday in Washington.

U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood recognized employees and teams who have performed in an exemplary manner to meet the department’s goals and mission.

The Massena staff were presented a Team Award for the implementation of four major projects to improve the U.S. lock infrastructure in the first significant improvements since the Seaway was constructed in the 1950s.

“The Winter Work and Asset Renewal Implementation Team has been instrumental in managing the first large-scale infrastructure renewal projects in the history of the Seaway,” said SLSDC Administrator Collister Johnson. “As a result of the team’s efforts, these projects were completed successfully, safely, and ahead of schedule.”

Representing the team at the ceremony were Karl Livingston, Chief of the Maintenance Division; Dave Sanford, Civil Engineer; Fred Carter, President of AFGE Local 1968; and Pat White, Chief of Procurement and Supply.
