Eugene is one of the best towns in Oregon. You can’t beat the outdoor life in the spring, summer, or fall. Working outside in the winter, though, is for Oregonians. If you’ve experienced it, you know that what the weather report says doesn’t begin to tell the story. Sideways driving rain in your face; it’s one degree too high to snow; and man, that wind can be rough. But Schad Co. Railroad Construction had an industrial job to do, and no inclement weather was going to stop them.

This was a 3-day job. No more. And it was back-breaking work. While the days only last for fewer than 9 hours, the work lasted for 12. The amount of hands-on labor required would have driven up costs for most contractors, but not for Schad Co. Despite two men calling in sick, 1000 feet of industrial track had to be removed and replaced. Plus, they needed to upgrade to bigger rail and add relay ties.

The job started off well. Ties were going in one by one and things were moving along smoothly. Then, as the truck began to empty, the quality of the ties began to decline. Really decline. These ties would be buried in the dirt and it would be easy enough to let it slide. That’s not what Joe Schad is about. His integrity is not defined by what is obvious and out in the open. The job was stopped and he was on the line to the tie company. Joe had new ties to the jobsite within hours. He has built a great reputation with more than just clients.

It was all hands on deck now, as no Schad Co. job will finish late on Joe’s watch. Additional workers were called in and the team pushed extra hours. They got the job done, done right, and done on time. The customer was extremely happy with the work ethic and quality. It’s amazing what Schad Co. Railroad Construction can do, 24-7-365, in any conditions.
