Mission Statement:The focus of NAXSA is to provide its’ valued members with the tools and resources to help

them and their businesses achieve success and recognition as leaders in the industry.

A Message From Ron Chilton, NAXSA President

Welcome to Las Vegas. The North American Excavation Shoring Association (NAXSA) was formed to be the one true voice for our unique industry. The main goal of NAXSA is to promote the safe use of and innovation of excavation safety products across the

nation. In addition, NAXSA is the organization that brings the key stake holders of our industry together in one place. The association is made up of and represents the rental houses, distributors, engineering companies, manufacturing partners, associates and support services companies that work in and around the excavation industry each day. NAXSA allows for the free exchange of ideas, best practices, new techniques, education of topics that are common to all members and of course to provide a unified voice to the regulatory agencies, government and the end users.

By your participation in NAXSA you are helping to guide our industry into the future while also helping to set new guidelines, develop new technologies and learn about new products and developments specific to our industry. As a member of NAXSA you also help to bring to bear common goals, ideas and standards that are important to all those involved with excavation safety.

Our members are committed to help reduce the dangers that are inherent to those working in or around excavations and to allow everyone in the industry the opportunity to learn from our peers. I welcome you to this year’s convention and hope everyone enjoys the next couple of days.

How do we expand our markets to supply safe and cost-effective systems for the support of excavations? One way is to buy new products, but the best way is to innovate with the equipment you currently have in your inventory. Innovation is a mind -set that requires everyone in your organization to “think outside of the box” to provide customers solutions. The more you can do this will add more projects and expand your business. I will relate how over these past 37 years I have innovated my Slide Rail Systems to provide more and better solutions to my customers. You can do this also and it applies to any equipment, not just Slide Rail. So, let’s keep thinking and the answers will come to you.

Rental Yard Pavement Designs Introduction and Moderator: Karl Trott, Plug Technologies Speakers: Todd Scholz, PhD, PE, GeoDesign, Inc. Dave Nicoli, D.P. Nicoli Inc. Sponsored by Kloeckner Metals Location: Hyde 2

During this session you will receive a comprehensive update on OSHA’s Construction Direc-torate activities such as: Enforcement statistics, OSHA’s Excavation and Trenching Initiative, and a Regulatory update based on the OSHA Regulatory Agenda.

Many members of NAXSA have experienced unexpected and costly pavement repairs in their storage facilities. When the property is leased the pavement looks fine but after a year there are cracks in the pavement, large settlement, holes, and more. In many cases arguments follow with the landlord which may end up in court. This presentation illustrates this problem through real examples and provides an overview of the primary factors that influence pavement performance and longevity. It discusses the variables needed for design and common methods available to estimate design input values based on an acceptable level of risk. The presentation provides insight into how the pavement at an existing property weighs into the decision for buying or leasing it and what to look for, how to approach your lease agreement, and how to avoid legal battles with your landlord.

NAXSA Engineering Committee Chair, Jasper Calcara PE, will present a NAXSA engineering update with Q&A on Site Specific Engineering, Tabulated Data & Deflection in Shoring.

Former Marine Platoon Commander Jake Harriman is the founder and CEO of Nuru Inter-national, a U.S.-based social venture that empowers poor individuals in remote, rural areas to end extreme poverty in their communities. Inspired to act by the poverty and tragedy he witnessed during four operational deployments throughout Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, Bronze Star winner Harriman retired from active duty and enrolled at Stanford Uni-versity’s Graduate School of Business before founding Nuru in 2008 and then living in 3rd world countries the last 8 years, putting SYSTEMS and MODELS in place that save innocent families in war torn regions by teaching and building structure for leadership, agriculture, education, and survival.

Keynote Speaker

Jake Harriman graduated with distinction from the U.S. Naval Academy and served seven and a half years as an Infantry and Spe-cial Operations Platoon Commander in the Marine Corps. He led four operational deployments and was awarded the Bronze Star for ac-tions in combat. Jake’s experiences convinced him that the “War on Terror” wouldn’t be won on the battlefield alone; the contributing causes of terrorism – specifically extreme poverty – must also be erad-icated. Jake left the military and enrolled at Stanford Graduate School of Business to found Nuru International. Since 2009, Nuru Kenya and Nuru Ethiopia have enabled over 100,000 people to lift themselves out of extreme poverty. Jake is a graduate of the Presidential Leadership

Scholars Class of 2015.

Brian CrandallPresident, ICON Equipment

Keynote PresentationExpanding Our Market Through InnovationThursday, February 28, 10:15 a.m. – 11:15 a.m.

In 1969, Brian graduated from Union College with a Degree in Civil En-gineering. He spent three years working on highway designs for HNTB in West Virginia and New Jersey. In 1972 he began his contracting career working on highway, bridge, sanitary/drainage and tunnel construc-tion. In 1982 Icon Equipment Distributor, Inc was formed to sell and rent excavation support systems to New York City contractors. Initially Icon imported Slide Rail Systems from the Krings company in Germany and the Slide Rail market was developed in the Northeast by Icon. In 1988

Icon was contracted to design and sell Slide Rail Systems to an American company in Egypt near the Pyramids. The 90’s saw further development with Slide Rail and the addition of steel trench boxes, aluminum trench boxes, road plates and hydraulics. A factory in New Jersey was purchased in 1993 to begin the manufacture of Icon’s original designs, which his company still produces to this day. A large project was acquired in Aswan Egypt in 1998 which allowed Icon to supply its’ own original designs and equipment. Since that time Icon has improved and expanded its’ manufactured product line, developed Pilot Tube Auger Boring and completed difficult proj-ects all over the United States.
