“We don't have many excessive layers
of management,” Graham said. “You can
pick that phone up and you can call Clem,
any of the upper management, or myself
at two in the morning and we will answer
that phone before the second ring is fin-

A top notch safety record and vertical in-
tegration are other factors that distinguish
Corgan from its competition. In fact, one
of the company crews has completed
260,000-plus people hours with no lost-
time injuries.Typically, very few companies
reach the 250,000-hour mark and maintain
it, or many tend to accumulate this amount
through a large number of workers. This
“We do a business risk analysis on everything that we take on. We’ve turned
down quite a few offers because they just didn’t fit our philosophy,”
