I just wanted to tell you that I could not have been more impressed on the work that was performed.  Andy and the team had a very productive system in how the shoring was installed, always pushing and working to keep the schedule.  Never once were they standing around, they were always moving.  You guys looked good.  I hope to get the chance to work with Kulchin again on future projects.

Kulchin’s crew was outstanding to work with.  What they said is what they did.  When others needed assistance, they helped.  Our crews and subcontractors were indebted to Kulchin due to their teamwork attitude and actions observed.  Kulchin’s wisdom and extensive knowledge proved to be a tremendous asset.  Although there were mishaps by other trades that required timely responses, each issue was resolved quickly, professionally and without theatrics.  It’s refreshing to see a contractor do what they say they are going to do.

I have consulted with Kulchin many times over the years since we first worked together on a project in Glendale, California in 1989.  I have always found their creative solutions to be very useful in addressing unique geotechnical construction problems.  They have always been able to visualize project solutions that were creative and cost effective. I have found their advice and expertise to be invaluable.

I have always considered Steve Kulchin as a great resource and innovator in the field of geotechnical contracting. In the past, together we have advanced the state-of-the-art in earth retention and specialty foundation applications such as Soil Nailing and Micropiles.

I have known Steve Kulchin for last 15 to 20 years in the context of his performing shoring activities on projects where our firm was the geotechnical consultant.  I have found him to be a solid and reliable professional who has performed well, and look forward to continuing our relationship in the future.

This expresses my appreciation for your outstanding efforts during the preparation and work on an extremely hazardous confined space task.  Your firm was asked to send someone 63 feet down a 36” diameter metal casing and excavate by hand.  Kulchin’s planning required compliance with Washington Administrative code, Federal OSHA standards and pre-entry consultation with King County / Seattle Fire Dept.  The project required four full days of strenuous and hazardous labor and was remarkably uneventful due to your company’s attention to detail, pre-planning and training.  Your employees remained alert and aware of the procedures. They worked deliberately, took no unnecessary risks and followed pre-determined procedures.  Your company and its employee’s commitment to safety were remarkable for its thoroughness.

I have had numerous opportunities to work with Mr. Steve Kulchin through out the western United States from Seattle to San Diego on projects ranging from relatively small to multi-million dollar projects.  Through my experience, I have seen Mr. Kulchin maximize the ability of equipment, maintain safe operating practices and achieve excellent crew production rates, all made possible through his knowledge, experience and leadership.
