Innovative Airman
Mr. Gregory Cook and his section capitalized on in-house resources to execute residual rubber removal from the airfield landing surface and stave-off over $450,000 in contract costs. Better refining the process over time, Mr. Cook spearheaded the retrofit of a 20 foot utility trailer, modifying it to accommodate a 1,000 gallon high pressure water tank utilizing on-hand resources. His efforts eliminated the need for the off-base rental equipment, additional hauling of water from smaller capacity tanks, and manning from the Base Fire Department. In total, his out-of-the-box thinking maximized effectiveness of on-hand capabilities, reduced manpower 53%, cost the government only $412, and saved over $15,000 in rental costs and labor.
