program resulting in a safer work place for everyone in and around our daily operations. Thank You!
DEIDRE’S NEWS We are currently working on everything required to wrap up 2012 as our fiscal year has recently ended. This process requires many long hours from many on our team and I truly appreciate everyone’s efforts. As I review our accomplishments of 2012 and reflect on the successes as well as the areas I feel we need to continue our determination, I am struck by how far we have come and am energized by our opportunities going forward. I realize that our continued success and our hope for the future rests on so many hard working dedicated individuals. The fiscal year end exercise of documenting things like investment, overhead, and assets only underscores to me that our most valuable asset is each and every one of you! Thank you! Our eyes now are focused on ending our calendar year safely! In January of 2011 we launched an ambitious program designed to ensure everyone enjoys a safe work place and returns home at the end of each shift safely. Our SWA “Stop Work Authority” empowered and encouraged all employees to stop work when unsafe work conditions were discovered. The success of this program depended on every employee, from the newest to the most experienced, participating on a daily basis. I am very proud to announce that as of this edition we have had 59 separate occasions where one’s “Stop Work Authority” was exercised, this in the last two years! Our employees have embraced this
As with many families as the Holidays approach, things tend to get hectic. It is no different with our D&B family! Many long time traditions continue to keep us very busy. With the stuffing and sending of hundreds of “D&B Candy Cans”, recognizing year end milestones such as multiple safety awards and events, and most importantly, recognizing some of our D&B family members who have been with us for many years, we look forward to this season. We are very fortunate to add some individuals to our most prized list, employees who will be celebrating both twenty and twenty-five years of continuous service with Dunkin & Bush. Celebrating twenty years are Martin Horgan, Bob Martinez and Jason Lasater. Celebrating twenty-five years are Pete Weese and Mark Harrison. Thank you for your hard work, dedication and loyalty! As my brother and I recognize years of service of people that have contributed to Dunkin & Bush over a long span of time it reinforces that as we grow and expand services to even farther reaching geographic areas, the one thing remaining constant is that we place the highest value on family. We are fortunate to have many family connections within our company and it is reassuring and rewarding to see this D&B family continue to grow and represent the best choice for our customers as it has for many years! Again, thank you and have a safe and enjoyable Holiday Season.

MARK’S BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT TRAVELS
SAFETY STUFF
A typical project for D&B usually starts with a request to help solve a problem in an industrial facility. Many times the problem is to protect an asset (new installation or existing) that is crucial to their company’s process. The end game obviously is to provide the solution in a safe, effective, and expedient manner. Without getting into too many details it’s safe to assume that this problem will require knowledgeable people, the right specialized equipment, and the highest quality materials to remedy. Many times it is also safe to assume that whatever it is, it will be hard to get to (usually high in the air), the time frame to do the work will be short, and the facility that the asset is located in will be a long way away!
No doubt by now most of you have heard that Colorado and Washington have passed state initiatives making possession and use of small amounts of marijuana legal and may be wondering how this affects companies that perform drug testing of employees. The short answer is it doesn’t change anything. The fact is that marijuana is still an illegal substance under federal law and federal law prevails.
With the above statements in mind and as you read through this edition of Ambient Conditions, I thought it would be interesting to show a graphic of a typical look at where the above takes place on any given day. It is remarkable that so many dedicated D&B employees work as a team day in and day out on such a large playing field! This map illustrates projects where scaffolding, insulation, and protective coatings applications are safely performed in an effective and expedient manner! “GO BIG BLUE”

Neither initiative changes the ability of employers to maintain their current employment policies, nor does it prevent them from creating whatever policies they see fit. If employers do not currently allow off‐site marijuana use by employees, they can continue to prohibit it. Neither initiative requires employers to accommodate the use of marijuana by their employees. A recent Washington State Supreme Court decision clearly stated that Washington State employers didn’t even have to accommodate workers with a doctor’s authorization to use marijuana under Washington’s Medical Use of Marijuana Act. Drug testing (including marijuana) is required by federal law in many cases, namely Department of Transportation both for Commercial Drivers and for Pipeline Operator Qualifications, and for federal contracts with the Department of Defense and Department of Energy Contracts. Virtually all of Dunkin & Bush’s customers will continue to require drug and alcohol testing including marijuana. I have some exciting news, after having previously passed the written examination, Mike G. and Ed Jr. recently passed the hands-on abrasive blasting and coating evaluation to become SSPC Certified Applicator Specialists. They join a very select group of individuals nationwide that have been certified under the CAS program. I need to take a moment to recognize and thank my staff for their contribution to making 2012 what should be one of our safest years ever despite the fact D&B had more people working more hours and providing more services in more geographical locations than ever before. Thank you (in no

Tracey, Nathan, Luis C., Jerad, Martin and Devere rigged suspended platforms and hoists for access, installed containment, prepared and applied a new three coat system to just under 20,000 sq/ft of bridge surface in 15 different locations. Very nice work on this project everyone!
Atta-boy for Nathan who took prompt action when he noticed a small fire apparently caused by welding sparks. Nathan was painting atop a scaffold when he noticed plastic barricade fencing smoldering some distance away. He immediately called his supervisor Troy who reported the fire to his customer contact. Troy and the facility safety rep. headed to the fire site but in the meantime Nathan had grabbed a fire extinguisher and put out the fire making the customer very happy. Remember, if you encounter a fire, immediately report it and then attempt to extinguish it only if it is clearly small enough for the equipment on hand.
At the General Chemical facility, Josh, Jacob T., Peter, Miguel, Ricky, Ivan, and Jacob Z. cleaned and repainted three tank exteriors and associated stairs and platforms this summer. Thank you everyone for your hard work in performing a difficult project safely!
BELLINGHAM REGIONAL REPORT At the Tesoro Refining and Marketing facility, Superintendent Jim has been keeping up a very steady pace. With his very sound crew of Kevin, Robin, Roy, Miguel, Aaron, Ivan, Peter, Ethan, Freddy and Anthony, they have found themselves working on a multitude of projects that have included the full containment and recoating of wharf lines, inspection abrasive blasting numerous tanks/vessels/ exchanges, concrete coatings, abrasive blasting in the furnace, vessel skirts, tank interior linings, tank exterior coatings, and numerous CUI projects to name just a few. We also were able to support Diamond B onsite with the new Rail Car Unloading Rack project where we erected and encapsulated a large scaffolding enclosure to facilitate our abrasive blasting and coating application on large diameter piping. Keep up the good work guys! Over in Moyie Springs, Idaho Gabe has recently completed an extremely difficult bridge project for Razz Construction. Over the Moyie River Gorge, 467’ above the river, the crew consisting of Cody,
Jacob Z. continues to run and support multiple projects for the Bellingham operations in multiple states. While spearheading numerous projects down at the Haskell Corporation facility including the large Rail Car Unloading project for Tesoro, Jacob has also headed up a bridge restoration project in Whitebird, Idaho for Concrete Placing Company with the support of Matt, Lauina, and Asipeli, grabbed a flight to Hawaii for two newly constructed fuel tanks at the Honolulu airport for CB&I with Gabe, Jaime, Tracey, Ryan and Kyle, applied a thermal arc spray non-skid for Bellingham Marine with Jaime, Patrick, Dave, Keith, Ryan, and Clifford, is working on a new dryer structural steel tower for Dahlgren for the Darigold facility in Lynden with Kevin, Dustin, Ricky, Bob, Brentt, Patrick, Chris, Joe, Keith, Lincoln, Shane, David, Clifford, Brad, and Jaime, zipped out and cleaned Whatcom Counties Rubb building at their maintenance shop facility with Zach and completed a project for Lake Whatcom Water District with Aaron that saw them recoating piping and tank exteriors. Thank you Jacob and everyone for your hard work, racking up lots of miles and safe contributions! At the BP Cherry Point facility, Superintendent Ed has been extremely busy and is just in the final stages of a turnaround where we saw our crews work multiple weeks around the clock. For Ed, having out in the field right hand men like Jason and Matt, and the safety presence of Baron, is truly a virtue as their efforts in maintaining the day to day safe field operations is first class. Also having Gary, Ken and Kristi has been just as instrumental to Ed as their assistance in the control of work process, scheduling,

tracking and anything else needed to successfully plan and perform our work is done promptly and skillfully. Most importantly, having the likes of Martin, Josh, Corey, Tim, Jason, Jacob, Jevin, Robert, Aaron, Ryan, Dave, Gary V., Zach, Christopher, Derrick, Ken, James, Mark, Andrew, Cole, Cori, Nathan, Ryan, Josh, Pascual, Jose, Justin, Lance, Brandon, Scott, Eric, Ricky, Riley, and Kyle makes everyone’s job so much easier as their workmanship and professionalism is top notch. Besides the recent turnaround support, the team has been busily performing projects throughout the facility that have included polyurea, CUI, dock piping, tank exteriors, line stripping, vessels and drums to name just a few of the many hundreds. Thank you everyone! We have found ourselves also being able to assist JH Kelly in their efforts on the new Clean Diesel project. We have recently prepared and applied a coat of mastic on the interior of the reformer’s weld seams, the exterior of five new vessels and the interior lining of two new vessels.
flame spray metalizing projects on piping, columns, towers, vessels and exchangers, multiple tank interior linings, polyurea projects, multiple tank exterior coating projects, wharf lines, underground tape wrapping, inspection blasting, fireproofing and the truck loading rack canopy piping to name a few. The crew has also found themselves supporting Diamond B, Haskell, JH Kelly and Matrix on multiple projects across the facility – great work everyone!
At multiple BP Pipelines stations, Brentt has recently completed an extensive maintenance project at the Allen station that included surface preparation and coating of a tremendous amount of piping, motors, valves, the exterior of the control house and safety curb line striping. The crew has now moved north to the BP Cherry Point station. Brentt has gotten great contributions from his support team of Patrick, Clifford, Steven, Eric and Dan E. along the way – great work guys!
Dan, with the support of Miguel, Kevin, Aaron J., Larry, Corbin, Bob, Isaac, Joe, and Ryan also found the time to perform the application of an aluminum arc spray system followed by a seal coat, two full coats of epoxy and one full multicolor finish coat of aliphatic urethane to the newly constructed Gustavus Public Dock. After we completed our work, it was then trucked and towed by tug to its final destination in Alaska.
Over at the Granite Precast facility, Gary, Kevin, Dustin, Ricky, Dave and Travis have been busy setting up containment and abrasive blasting the ends of large traffic barriers for the Portman Bridge barriers where a 6mm profile is required for the field joints when they are poured in place. Thanks everybody! At the Shell PSR facility, Superintendent Dan and his first class staff consisting of Bob, Chris, Joe, Ryan, Keith, Brad, Colton, Aaron J., David M., Shane, Lincoln, Matthew B., Paul and Matthew K. have been quite busy performing numerous CUI arc and
At the PSE Sumas facility, Zainul, Cody, Ricky, Aaron J., and Jesse repainted the stack of the HRSG, performed plant maintenance coatings and erected scaffolding for access to the Demin Tank interior ceiling and shell for our abrasive blasting and lining project. At the PSE Whitehorn facility, Mikel and Nathaniel performed work on the transformers and also cleaned two diesel tank exteriors while Dave, Steven, Aaron J., and Jacob Z. performed work on the blower deck and applied a non-skid coating too. At the PSE Bellingham facility, Dave, Donald, Nathaniel, Mikhail, and Jacob Z. have been working on the caustic and acid vaults removing the existing coating, preparing the concrete and installing a new chemical resistant liner via plural component spray while Josh and Jacob Z. replaced the joint material in the cooling water tower basin. Great work everyone all around! At the Phillips66 Ferndale facility, Superintendent Mike and Foreman Dustin are putting the finishing

touches on yet another safe and successful year with 2013 just around the corner. Working in nearly every unit throughout the facility, with a very dedicated crew consisting of Zainul, Ramiro, Nathaniel, Mikhail, Cody, Brad, Travis, Chad, and Jessie, they have performed numerous CUI projects, fireproofing, multiple bents out at the dock, fire protection equipment refurbishment, line striping, underground pipe wrapping and tank interiors to just name a few – great job everyone! A new project currently under construction has found us working with both JH Kelly and Tanco for coatings on piping and fireproofing on structural steel as well as the interior lining and exterior coatings of a newly constructed tank. Thanks also to Gabe for your supervision assistance on the tank project.
THE SCAFFOLD SCOOP
At the Williams Gas Pipeline compressor station, Dave has been quite busy performing routine maintenance work throughout the entire facility that has included underground piping, above ground piping, catwalks, and fire hydrants to name a few items he has touched. This large undertaking took quite a bit of support, which Dave received from the likes of Donald, Jose, Riley, Jordan and Zach. Thank you!
Soon after completing the Hunter project we completed our second coal fired boiler project for Deseret Power, Bonanza plant in Vernal, Utah. In addition to staging the boiler and providing scaffold access to many more areas, we also provided insulation services. Scaffold was done under the Supervision of Luis during day shift and Martin running night shift. The two Superintendents collectively supervised a total of 100 scaffold erectors during the erection and dismantle of boiler scaffold. After the boiler scaffold was erected, we maintained around the clock coverage with a crew of 12 men on days and 8 men on nights erecting, modifying and dismantling various outage support scaffolds.
General Superintendent Roy is just wrapping up our large bridge project in Ione, Washington for the West Company. With a willing and able supporting cast consisting of Donna, Corbin, Scott, Steven, Robert, David, Zainul, Todd, Russell, Nathan, and Jack, the crew has completed a very difficult project on this inverted superstructure that included the full containment, full removal of the existing lead based coating, collection and disposal of all spent abrasive debris, and application of a three coat moisture cured urethane coating system. Corbin and Nathan also got out of Ione for a few days to perform work on another bridge for West Company in Coeur D’Alene. Great job guys getting these two projects done safely and professionally!
As I wrote my last newsletter article we were just completing erecting scaffold in the boiler at PacifiCorp Hunter, Utah plant. That project was a great success and the customer was very happy with the finished project. Luis led a crew of 50 men which erected and dismantled scaffold on-time, under budget and most important accident free.
Utah Regional Scaffold Manager Don assisted by Scaffold Manager Mike have been securing work to keep our crews busy. Not only have they been securing work but they have been busy bidding work all over the Western US. In addition to Utah, they have also looked at and bid on projects in Nevada, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Colorado, Arizona, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Texas. We have completed two plant outages at Clean Harbors in Dugway, Utah. We worked a crew of eight men on day shift supervised by Luis and four men working night shift supervised by Francisco. We provided scaffold access to the furnace, scrubber and several other vessels and pipe racks. We are providing exterior tank scaffold access to three fuel tanks at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Mt. Home, Idaho. Felise is supervising a crew of seven men for this project. We have completed a large tank and Sphere at Tesoro Refinery in North Salt Lake, Utah. Our customer has been extremely happy with our
Page 6 crew and we received many compliments of the completed scaffolds. Also down the street from Tesoro, we have been awarded several tanks and vessels at Big West Oil Refinery. We have had a crew on site at least once a week during the past couple of months. Martin and crew have been providing superior scaffold services along with working safely. Our customer is very happy with the services we have provided. The Northwest has been providing many opportunities for us to offer scaffold services. We completed a large 50’ wide x 60’ long x 12’ structure for containment at the Tesoro Refinery in Anacortes, WA. The structure was enclosed with shrink wrap and was used to roll 2’ diameter 40’ long pipe inside of the containment where they were sand blasted and coated. This work was done during the rainiest and windiest season of the year so it was critical that the containment kept the rain out and could withstand the high winds. This project was a great success for Dunkin & Bush. In May the Northwest was able to persuade Mike to move from Utah to strengthen our scaffold services here. He has been teamed up with Ricky, Todd and Shane to give us a very strong scaffold crew with over 80 years of combined scaffold experience. These guys have been running several different directions completing several scaffold projects around the Northwest. We have provided scaffold access to several tanks at NuStar in both Tacoma and Portland terminals, we have erected scaffold to access a tank at Shell Harbor Island and we have provided access to a tank at Conoco Phillips in Tacoma. In addition to working at the fuel terminals, we provided safe scaffold access to PacifiCorp Chehalis Plant, internal tank access for Puget Sound Energy in Sumas, WA, Air Intake structure at Puget Sound Energy in Goldendale, WA, access and containment structure for work on the Ione Bridge, paper machine at Weyerhaeuser in Longview, WA, sign access at Century Link Field in Seattle, column access at Dow Chemical in Elma, WA, SCTS Trailer access at
Ambient Conditions Jesse Engineering in Tacoma and we completed scaffold to access the Sky Bridge at Safeco Field. This last project was challenging in several ways. First, it was erected and dismantled in the middle of the Mariner Baseball Season. Therefore, we had to coordinate schedules with the Mariners so we wouldn’t interfere with game days. Additionally, we were suspending a scaffold dance floor below the sky bride structure then erecting vertical scaffold off the dance floor to access the sides of the Sky Bridge. All of this was done while traffic was traveling below us. We had traffic control shifting lanes to allow us to do our work without having traffic directly below our work area. After the scaffold was erected it was contained with shrink wrap plastic to protect the sky bridge from weather along with preventing anything from falling to the road below. This project was a great success as it was done on time, under budget and accident free. Lastly, three of our scaffold erectors had the privilege to travel to the top of the world to erect scaffold at the Red Dog Mine facility in Alaska. It is the largest zinc mine in the world. Martin, Francisco and Howard lived in a man camp for approximately two months erecting and dismantling scaffold on a barge loading platform. They experienced very high winds, waves crashing on the platform and rain for the majority of the time they were there. There were a few days that they weren’t allowed to work because the conditions wouldn’t allow them to preform work in a safe manner. This project was a great example of cross training as along with building scaffold, Martin, Francisco and Howard learned how to paint. This year has been very busy and a lot of new scaffold opportunities are coming up daily. Word is getting out that Dunkin & Bush is a good option for scaffold services. As we continue to secure new work and more people are happy with the work we do, we continue to get recommended to others. Our cross training of employees is giving us the ability to offer the best value to our customers. I believe that 2013 is going to be an even busier year than 2012.

THE PORTLAND AREA DISPATCH It has been a very busy summer and fall. Winter is quickly approaching, but the workload appears to be busy well into the winter months, one of the benefits of offering more industrial services to our customers through multi-craft training. We have performed a multitude of services for Phillips66 throughout the summer including tank and pipe coatings, tank linings, insulation removal, insulation installation – rigid, blanketing and spray applied, scaffolding, signage, stenciling, lot striping, lead abatement, cleaning, secondary containment, crack and joint sealing, inspection and FRP’s. Projects safely completed by Tim, Joe S., Brian, Dave S., Allan, Anthony, Dave W., Brandon W., Everton, Daniel, Doug, and Matt. The diesel bottle neck project was completed for JH Kelly and Harder Mechanical while onsite as well. Even more services were provided to NuStar throughout the summer including tank and pipe coatings, tank and pipe linings, working over water, working underground, full containment and abatement, insulation removal, insulation installation, scaffolding on several tanks and over water piping, signage, stenciling, secondary containment, crack and joint sealing, concrete repair, rivet sealing, foundation repairs, asphalt repairs, caulking and taping. Projects safely completed by Dave S., Steve B., Mickey, Joe K., Joe C., Joe S., Allan, Anthony, Dave W., Brandon W., Everton, Daniel, Doug, Matt, Gordon, Dave B., Tim, Rob, Casey, Brett, Ricky, Richard, Mike P., Mike O., Mike T., Pailate, Luis, Peter, Dayton, Josh, Jim and James. The last of the equipment, including containment domes, hose reels, crane booms, boat lifts, birdcage and piping, destined for the Arctic Challenger were blasted, painted and thermal sprayed for Greenberry Industrial. Around the clock work was safely completed by Dave B., Robb, Tim, Gordon, Russell K., Daniel, Flo, Dave S., Joe S., Mike, Casey, Steve P., Jim, Allan and Dave. Also completed for Greenberry Industrial were several small vessels, platforms, catwalks, piping and
Page 7 abatement at Shell Lube. Projects were completed by Tim, Brett, Gordon and Joe S. The above mentioned crew completed projects for Shell Oil as well. Projects included a tank lining, lead abatement, tank coatings, rivet peening and sealing, concrete crack and foundation repair, rack piping, caulking and insulation plug installation. Additional crew members include Flo, Brian, Doug, Daniel, Anthony, Richard, Matt, Allan, and Dave W. Another insulation project completed by Tim with help from Joe S. and Todd was a heat exchanger vessel for PPG requiring pyrogel, cladding and blankets. The project turned out beautiful and under
budget. Great jobs guys! Other projects completed for PPG include several pipe racks located throughout the facility, blasting and hi-heat applications and a sulfuric acid truck load area. These additional projects were completed by Dave B., Anthony, Doug, Allan, Todd, and Dave W. The last of our insulation projects for this article was again completed by Tim with help from Joe S., Todd, Allan and Dave W., Anthony, and Daniel. This effort was during a three week outage at PaciCorp’s Chehalis Powerplant. The work scope was to remove insulation materials to allow for inspection and rehab of turbine components, then replace and repair when rehab was complete. Previous to this effort our crews removed and replaced all the filters in their large baghouse. This work was completed by Dave B., James, Doug, Mike O., Dave S., Joe S., Allan, Dave W., and Brian. Work also included access scaffold erection and dismantling as well. Access scaffold erection and dismantling was also necessary during a shutdown at Boise Paper in St. Helens. Our crews provided access and painted ceiling beams over a tissue machine and provided access and painted an overhead crane as well. Work was safely completed by Brian, Flo, Allen, Dave and Brandon W., Casey, James, Gordon, Doug, Rickey, Daniel, Joe S., and Mike O. Our customer was very pleased with the quality and amount of work completed during an accelerated time sensitive shutdown.

Tank linings are almost always time sensitive as processes are curtailed until put back in service. Over a dozen completed tank linings were mentioned in this article located throughout the region. Several tank linings were installed at BP by Dave B., Joe S., Brett, James, Gordon, Matt, Allan, Dave W. and Brian. A half dozen liners were completed at Kinder Morgan for Smith Tank and Matrix Service at three separate terminals. All liners were plural component and everyone listed in this article helped with the completion. Exterior coating, abatement, caulking and stenciling was completed on each as well. Two liners were completed for JR Simplot at their Hermiston facility. This work required access to the lid and shell surfaces in addition to the floor surfaces. Work safely completed by Dave B., Jim, Steve P. and Casey. Exterior touch-up and chime caulking was completed as well. Our largest tank lining was installed at Columbia Pacific Bio-Refinery. This was an accelerated around the clock effort completed by Flo, Anthony, Daniel, Francisco, Alan, Richard, Rob, Doug, Joe S. and Russell. Deadlines were met and the customer was able to put the tank in service as planned. Smaller, but very challenging, as each of the following vessels are located on the inside of building structures and each was fully lined: Mike P., Brandon P., Flo and Matt lined a surge tank for Sacred Heart Medical Center. Mike P., Brandon P. and Jim lined a resin tank for Flakeboard. Mike P., Casey, Dan, Brandon P., Anthony, Steve P., and Jim lined a hot water tank for International Paper. Joe S., Matt and Dave W. completed a dyno tank for Daimler Trucks Northwest. Flo, Dave B., Doug, Brett, Matt, Allan and Brian installed a vinyl ester fiberglass embedded lining for Harder Mechanical at Boeing; a very difficult project completed on budget and schedule. Anthony, Joe C., Joe S., Joe K. and Richard lined a surface water run-off tank for Quality Tank at GP in Camas, WA.
Lined and Coated Water Vessel
Also completed for GP at their Camas Mill was a large Paper Machine. This project was successfully and safely completed by Flo, Dave S., Dave B., Brian, Casey, Todd, Tim, Gordon, Josh, Doug, Russell, Daniel, Brandon P., Anthony, Richard, Rob, Joe S., Jim, Matt, and Brandon W. Several jobs were awarded immediately following due to the quality of the work performed by this crew, including a converting conveyor, a large staircase, a building exterior and a structural tower. The same crew performed so well on the above mentioned paper machine that we scheduled them for another. They cleaned and painted the #3 PM for Weyerhaeuser in Longview. Again, we were immediately awarded additional projects including stenciling and striping, wall and stairwell structure and the fitness center interior. Quality work always pays off as we returned again to Covanta to blast clean their refuse furnaces. Cleaning the furnaces is a crew favorite so we are always happy to return to Covanta and thank them for the opportunity. Dave B., Flo, Rob B., Dan H., Brett, Joe S., Dave S., Daniel, Brandon P., Rob S., Allan and Brian completed the project. Joe S. and Brett stayed behind to clean and paint several sections of the boiler building’s exterior. Steve P. and Jim T. did not return but stayed onsite and tripled the size of their project due to quality work. They repaired the coating system on over 60 transformers for CG Power at Biglow Canyon Wind Farm in eastern Oregon. While on the east side in Goldendale, Steve and Jim with help from Casey, Dan, Peter, Rickey, Mike T, Todd L, and Anthony built access scaffold, contained and painted an air inlet structure on top of Puget Sound Energy’s boiler building.
Ambient Conditions Another high flying act (working on top of buildings as above) was completed for Wah Chang. Mike and Brandon P., Jim, Casey, and Tim blasted and coated a pipe rack located on the top and down the side of a large and long building. Lead paint was removed requiring scaffold and containment to complete. Removing spent media was a difficult task performed to perfection. Tim completed seven other separate smaller projects before, during and after. Several floor coating projects were completed throughout the region, although not as high flying as the above projects but still just as important, including three separate floors for Reimers & Jolivette at Reed College and three separate floors for GH McCulloch, and Landau Associates at Boeing. Floors were installed by Dave B., Flo, Gordon, Daniel, Allan, Brian, and Matt. While not at Wah Chang, Tim took his “off the beaten path” specialty services to Tillamook, OR and Woodland, WA. In Tillamook, he repaired and painted the Morning Star Monument. This is a small clipper located outside of Tillamook County Creamery. The project required removing and replacing any rotten and damaged wood, caulking and repainting. Casey assisted Tim on this project. While in Woodland, he cleaned and painted Columbia River Carbonates locomotive engine with Mike O. assisting.
Page 9 More projects required week-end coverage this summer and fall than in recent years. Thank you to all those that were willing to sacrifice their week-ends to complete these projects on schedule.
REDMOND RAMBLINGS Jesse Engineering built new ferry terminals, mooring dolphins, 520 Bridge replacement parts and one large floating fish collector. The crew of Ryan, Isaac, Scott , John, Julio, Francisco, Andrew, Justin, Chucc, Nereo, Brad, Jamaal, Paul, Javier, Tony, Joseph and Dave have put in many long hard weeks of effort. Nice job guys.

Troy and crew completed the first phase of repainting the South Trellis of Safeco Field for the Baseball Club of Seattle. First steps were to accomplish the parking garage elevator structure, the pedestrian overpass that is above Edgar Martinez Drive and then on to the South Trellis itself. Brad, Nereo, Jacob, Nik, Colin, Nathan, John E., Scott T., Gilberto, Nick, Jim, Bujar, Larry, Steven, Scott R., Dave P., Chucc, Andrew, Francisco, Ryan and John S. all spent time onsite and chances are will be back very soon to complete the project. Greenberry Industrial is installing new paint booths for Boeing in Everett. Troy, Jim, Nik, Scott R., Steven, Colin, Nathan, John, Ricardo, David and Gilberto have been working nights for the most part touching up steel and decking inside one of the world’s largest buildings. The project is coming to a close up at Snoqualmie Falls for Barnard Construction and Puget Sound Energy. Jimmy, John W., Joseph, Brad, Scott T., Larry, Daniel, Steven, Isaac, Chucc, Ricardo, Mikaele, Michael, Jacob, Nathan, Charles, John A., Gilberto, Nick, Bujar, Jamaal, Scott F., Isaac, Javier, Tony, Rob, and John E. have been accomplishing the lead abatement, recoating the exteriors and repairing the penstock linings. Boise Wallula has had a busy summer; Jimmy, Dave D., Gonzalo, Martin, Colin, Nathan, Justin, Mark, Steven, David, Jose, and Ron have been up to their elbows with paper machines, pumps, pipe and tanks. Clearwater Paper has had us repainting the Mill Water Piping that winds throughout the mill. Nathan, Jimmy, Justin, Martin and Nik have also coated the Sulfuric Acid Tank as well as some Natural Gas Piping. We returned after a couple months offsite to accomplish a couple of concrete floor coatings. Tanco Engineering contacted us to line the interior and coat the exterior of a new tank for Phillips 66. Jim, Jimmy and the crew of Gonzalo, Jacob, John, Isaac, Justin, Javier, Scott R., and Brad converged in Moses Lake to make short order of the work. Holly Energy Partners in Spokane had lead abatement and tank exterior projects this summer for Jimmy, Scott F., Ron W., David, Gonzalo, Javier, Justin, Ron F.,
Michael, Jose, Isaac, Larry, Daniel, John and Dave to sink their teeth into… And while in the area, the crew was called on to repair a few linings at the Spokane Terminal for Phillips 66. Dave D. and Javier handled some crane booms that were going thru a refurbishment at the Wheco Corporation facility in Richland, WA. Tesoro Refinery in Salt Lake City has had us recoating 7 tank exteriors at their main tank yard. Ray, Kyle, Justin, Javier, Joseph were assisted by Josh, Gustavo, Guillermo, Andrew, Asipeli, Carl, and Howard during the summer months on this project. Tesoro Refinery has begun a major expansion project starting in their FCC Unit. The crew of Ron, Joseph, John, Whitmer, Martin S., Howard, Brandon, Kasey, Jason, Travis, Preston, Luis, Francisco, Martin C., Kyle, Ryan, Lauina, Carl, Asipeli, Devin, Andrew, Ray, Justin, Devere, Javier, Rob, David, Gustavo, Guillermo, and John have all been suited up for lead abatement on every connection of the massive structure. Jason, Rob, Travis, Francisco and Jerad have just completed the insulation application to the lower 10’ of Tank 70 located at HollyFrontier in Woods Cross, UT. Matrix Services built a new tank for HollyFrontier Cheyenne and had Scott F., John, Joseph, Gonzalo, Michael, Justin, Martin, Jose, Javier and Ron line the interior as well as prep and coat the EFR and shell exterior. While onsite at Holly Energy Partners Scott F., Siulepa, Ron, To’Ao, Michael and Adam accomplished the EFR and shell exterior of Tank #107. ATI has had both painting and insulation projects for Rob, John, Ron, Jerad, Luis, Brandon and Joseph to tackle. We have begun a large concrete floor project for Jacobs and Kennecott Utah Copper at the new MAP Facility. Our first steps are to install linings in the sumps and trenches… John, Joseph, Brandon, Jason, Carl, Andrew and Rob have all been busily running through the first few buildings starting the project off on the right foot.
Ambient Conditions Westcon asked us to accomplish the abrasive blasting and priming of miscellaneous piping heading to the HollyFrontier Woods Cross for a new unit they were installing. Rob, Jason, Mark, Scott F., Carl, Devin, Michael, Jorge, Ron and Josh accomplished the work at our yard in North Salt Lake City. Solvay Chemical near Green River, WY called in Jimmy, Brandon, and Michael to repair and recoat a floor in the PU27 Pump Area and hope to have more floors in the future. Isaac and crew of John, Joseph, Mark, Devin, Jorge, Joe and Ron spent many weeks getting to know the northeastern part of Utah and a new customer, Bonanza Power. We were asked to handle their planned outage insulation tasks which included removal and replacement of all types of insulation. Sinclair Refining has turned into a nice home away from home for Scott F., Martin S., Scott L., Kevin, Mark, Gonzalo, Michael, Kauasi, Felise, Luis, Martin C., Dale and Ron. We have accomplished many of the typical refinery type tasks that we have become accustomed to over the years. We have lined vessels and tanks, recoated spheres, prepped and painted piping throughout units during turnarounds, inspection blasted tanks, recoated heater stacks, lined a bullet tank, set up an abrasive blast area to blast and paint piping.
HORGAN’S HEROES The first 20 years Since 1992 I’ve been writing in the D&B newsletter about all the interesting people, places and projects that I’ve had the great fortune to be a part of. At one time, I could name all of the employees on the payroll, know with certainty which states we were working in and had a cell phone (that was only a phone) which was permanently mounted in my truck…the good ol days. The one constant at D&B through the years has been the varied array of projects we’ll undertake and the great distances our employees will travel to accomplish them. I’ve had the opportunity to see firsthand how other industries make their living; aerospace, food & beverage,
Page 11 hydroelectric/fossil fuel power generation, public facilities and naturally, oil & gas. Being a part of such a diverse industry really keeps things interesting, as a great man (TDII) once said: “never a dull moment”. How true. The following projects are a few of my favorites spanning the last 20 years: In 1992 we won the Husky Stadium South Stands Reconstruction, my first project with D&B which involved containments, lead abatement, recyclable abrasives and then cutting edge coating technology over 120,000 square feet of surface. I was very lucky to have the renowned Ed Sr. as my Superintendent who brought a world of knowledge to the project. In 1993, Tom II turned over the Alyeska Pipeline account to me and as it turned out, the rest of the State too. I was blessed to have an excellent staff; Fred, legendary Superintendent, Pete W. and Seth both 20 plus year veterans. These jobs marked a change for me. I had started working out of the Bellingham offices with Don H. (30 year D&B employee, VP of Operations and obviously… a patient man) and now I was running work in Alaska from Redmond. About a mile away from the Stadium, The Washington Park Towers piling project, involved coating support piling under the building and underwater. Pete W., fresh from Alaska, took on this remarkable challenge…successfully. 1993 also was the year that Rex joined our team signaling a significant positive change in our safety and training department. We also started work with a new customer, Cook Inlet Pipeline at their Drift River facility and I hired now Superintendent, Robert, who is also quickly approaching his 20th! Other notable projects (to me anyway) in the early years include: 1993 Alyeska Pipeline Tank Maintenance Program – 9 Tanks Lined in 6 months 1994 Alyeska Pipeline Tank Maintenance Program – 7 Tanks Lined in 6 months 1994/1995 Wacker Fab 2 – Floor and Containment Coatings 1996 Unocal Kenai GMP General Maintenance Painting (corrosion survey at -37) 1997/1998 CIPL Christy Lee Platform Fender Recoating Project th 1997 Coors Brewing Company (CBC) – Cellar 12 - 5 th & 6 Floors

1998 CBC – Malt House & Bottling Line Recoating 1999 Washington Water Power (Avista Energy) Cabinet Gorge HED – Superstructure and Headwork’s Repainting
In 2000, the company was growing and becoming more sophisticated with the addition of Deidre who joined full time and was applying her skills with our then meager accounting staff of four. The complexity and technology of projects took a leap forward during this time frame as well with the addition of Ultra High Pressure Water surface preparation. The Coors Brewing Company Malt House 1 (run by Charles 20 plus year vet) and the Alyeska Pipeline Ballast Water Treatment Liner Removal project used this method, albeit unconventionally, in order to remove thick film materials with extreme prejudice. 20 plus year vet, Brian D. worked his mechanical magic to use this technology remotely and very successfully. Later in 2003, Tom III started full time with D&B. Even after working for me in Golden, Colorado and Valdez, Alaska, he decided to stay on anyway. Other interesting projects in this era included: 2000 Alyeska Pipeline – 42” Underground Pipe UHP Liner Removal 2003-2011 ConocoPhillips - Kuparuk Field (North Slope of Alaska) Shutdown 2005 CBC Madison Project – Elkton, VA Floor Coating and Overhead Painting 2005 ERA Airlines - Underground Tank Lining Project – 9 Tanks (in Winter) 2006/2007 Alaska Aerospace – Kodiak Launch Pad 1 Coating Project 2007 CIPL Christy Lee Platform – Underside Structural Pan Re-Coating Project 2008-2011 Alyeska Pipeline – DAF Building Refurbishment 2009-2011 Alyeska Pipeline - Crude Tank Containment (Underground Vaults) 2010-2012 Chevron/Hilcorp – Trading Bay Tanks 2010 ConocoPhillips - Kuparuk Field 7 month Shutdown 2011 Space Needle – Halo Repair and Coating (working 511’ off the ground) 2011 Alyeska Pipeline – Pump Station 9, Tank 190 Lining (-45 degrees) 2009 marked another large change for the company. After many successful years running D&B, Tom II
Ambient Conditions decided to hand over the reins to Deidre and Tommy and take a few weeks off a month. Even with the reduced schedule, Tom finds time to introduce interns to Dunkin & Bush …in-between hunting trips that is. Some current, yet notable projects: 2012 Teck Alaska – Red Dog Mine Port Facility (closer to Russia than Anchorage) 2012 ConocoPhillips – Alpine Field, Shutdown (Mobilization via airplane) 2012 Alyeska Pipeline – Pump Station 1, Tank 110 (Phase 2 winter lining) I’ve skipped over numerous jobs with some of our largest customers; Alyeska Pipeline (33 years and countless projects) ConocoPhillips Alaska (eight years and counting) and several projects that are yet to be completed. The list could go on, but our editor, Julie W. (20 plus year vet) might cut my article altogether if I continued to ramble about my favorites. Thank you to the Dunkin Family for keeping me on and all the support these past 20 years.
CALIFORNIA RAMBLINGS The summer heat has faded, but the sun is still shining and abrasive and coating material consumption are as plentiful as ever throughout the Golden State.
