WCC Project Superintendent, Michael Swiney chimed in, “Having a strong, yet cohesive leadership team on-site is critical to a project’s success; as far as progress and safety are concerned. Collaboratively, we have been successful in meeting AANP’s needs and ensuring a positive progression of milestone events.”
