T-Rex and Cyclone receive Gold Shovel Certification

T-Rex and Cyclone have received the Gold Shovel Standard Certification, a first-of-its kind excavation safety program designed to reduce dig-ins and protect the underground gas and electric system. With safety as its highest priority, the Gold Shovel Standard Certification process was developed to ensure that hired contractors are vetted annually and adhere to the safest excavation standards. Only 116 contractors in the state of Texas have received certification. “We are excited to receive the Gold Shovel Certification as it demonstrates our continued commitment to the highest standards of safety,” Tony Huval, Vice President of Health, Safety and Environmental, Vac-One Services, LLC, said.
