Most Challenging EPIC Project:
“I enjoy all of the work and find the projects at EPIC very interesting. The most challenging project was a blending skid for a leading agricultural company. The first unit was built here and sent to Costa Rica. It had to withstand the long shipping process and a harsh installation environment in a foreign country. The company has been impressed with the technology and craftsmanship of our skids and we’ve built 10-12 units for them.”
