From April 22, 2023, to April 24, 2023, an APM Electrical team of two superintendents were at the Eagle Valley jobsite in Martinsville, Indiana. Despite their brief time on site due to a lack of parts, the APM Superintendents, Anthony Barton and Tron Wright, managed to impress the customer with their genuine commitment to quality work.

For these guys, the condensed timeframe did not mean they should sacrifice quality work. They approached this job with the same level of professionalism and work ethic as any outage. For example, the attention to detail they displayed in supergluing sticky backs instead of using them as is showcased their experience and mindfulness beyond their time at the site. For those who have worked with sticky backs before, they know that heat and time can pull off the panels, meaning the conductors would be loose in the panel. Anthony and Tron thought ahead and added superglue for a more permanent solution, looking out for the customer’s best interest.

This dedication to a job done with quality comes from the investment and care the APM Electrical team has for the work they do. In an inspiring display of commitment, Anthony Barton traveled to the jobsite in Indiana from South Carolina without expectations of compensation because he heard that his team member could use some help. This team goes above and beyond to help each other, and their genuine desire to succeed through customer service, quality, and safety shines through in their work. Their integrity, professionalism, and work ethic are responsible for the team’s success in getting larger scale jobs, new customer calls, and repeat customers. Here are some examples of their exemplary electrical work!

“Tron brings knowledge and skill to every project.”

 - Jon Sautelet, APM Sr. Operations Division Leader Electrical/I&C

“Anthony has grown into one of our finest Electrical Superintendents because of his foresight and dedication to Quality, Safety, customer Service and professional work ethic.”

- Jon Sautelet, APM Sr. Operations Division Leader Electrical/I&C

“Tron and Anthony, aka Cornbread, did an excellent job for me here at Eagle Valley.  Although it turned into a smaller job than anticipated due to lack of parts, I was very impressed with their skill and speed.  Doing these jobs for many years and working with the crafts, one of the things I always look for is how the space looks after the work is completed.  If the space is cleaner than when the job started, you can be assured that the job was done well.  And a simple thing of adding Super Glue to the back of the sticky backs really showed me that details matter to these guys. Very impressed and very happy with the work.  Will be happy to use them again on future needs.”

- Patrick McSorley Sr. Field Engineer-Controls

Thank you to Anthony Barton and Tron Wright for your exceptional work and dedication on this outage!
