Westlake Chemical Plant
Calvert City, KY

• Triangle provided the scaffold and insulation for this 225' tall column. This is the tallest scaffold ever built in western Kentucky.
• The column was in service while the work was performed. Therefore, insulation removal and replacement was coordinated to minimize heat loss.

• Triangle names Vice Presidents. Triangle Enterprises proudly announces the promotion of Jack Brockman as Vice President of Field Operations and Kent Buchanan as Vice President of Estimating and Support Services. Brockman is a 1979 Bachelor of Science degree recipient in Construction Technology from Murray State University and began working at Triangle immediately after graduation. He was instrumental in the startup of the Sheet Metal Division in 1982 and the HVAC Division in 1995. During his tenure he juggled project management responsibilities with oversight of the Sheet Metal and HVAC Divisions. Brockman serves on the board of directors and holds a Kentucky Master HVAC License. Buchanan is a 1982 graduate with a Mechanical Engineering Bachelor of Science Degree from Texas A&M University. Buchanan started his career as an estimator/engineer with Triangle in 1983. He is largely responsible for the company's ascent into the computer age. In 1985 he computerized the accounting and estimating departments and has since written computer programs to aid project management, material fabrication, equipment tracking and estimate tracking. However, Buchanan's primary contribution has been made through estimates, thermal engineering and project management. He was honored in 2001 with the title of Estimator of the Year by Insulation Inlook Magazine. Buchanan was promoted to V. P. from the Senior Estimator position. Both men are appreciative and humbled by the Board's vote of confidence.
• Lewis Bowles retires. Triangle congratulates Lewis Bowles for 36 years of exceptional and faithful service.

Let’s all keep it up and remember that safety is everyone’s responsibility.
  
• Triangle Sets New Safety Milestone.  Triangle is proud to report that its employees recently achieved over 763,000 hours worked without a single lost time injury. The previous record for hours worked with zero lost time injuries was 760,114 hours.  As has been stated before, Triangle believes this statistic more than any other fact or statement represents not only Triangle’s commitment to safety on a corporate level, but more importantly, it represents our employees’ personal commitment to their own safety.
