Tilson

Last Friday, Tilson celebrated 28 years of designing, building, and maintaining America's information infrastructure. Since we started as a one-person IT consulting firm in 1996, we've grown into a national leader with over 1,400 employees. This incredible growth is thanks to our teammates, clients, and partners, who have made us who we are today. To celebrate, our GIS and Marketing teams created an interactive map that shows Tilson’s growth story over the past two decades. The map not only highlights key moments in our history but the important role our GIS team plays in analyzing and visualizing data for our projects. Check it out to see how we've grown and help shaped the future of connectivity across the nation: https://bit.ly/46pmqS3. #onamission

Not just on National 811 Day, but every day, we recognize the critical importance of managing the complexities of underground utilities. Encountering utilities that are mismarked or unmarked is a common challenge in construction, and preparing for these uncertainties is essential for maintaining the safety of our crews and the public. “Safety in the workplace means planning for both known and unknown hazards. At Tilson, we rigorously train our entire construction team in comprehensive safe digging practices and utility locating," said Russell M. Clayton, Tilson VP of Safety and Training. "We are committed to continuous improvement and transparency. Our training program for employees and subcontractors ensures everyone is well-prepared. This includes calling 811 to identify utilities before all underground work. We urge all homeowners and companies nationwide to do the same!” For more insight into how Tilson manages utility markings and enhances safety, check out our blog post on decoding utility marking colors: https://bit.ly/444g6OT. #onamission #national811day #call811 #safedigging
