Six weeks ago we wrote about six-figure BonDuit® success at Ameren. Here's more detail. Ameren has launched a three-year, billion-dollar project called "Power On" to improve service reliability for customers across Missouri. Among other things (tree trimming and line inspection), it includes 58 underground projects. The goal is to reduce storm damage and other outages by moving many lines from overhead to underground in the belief that underground conduit offers better protection against the forces of nature. The picture at left is an actual field shot of an Ameren polyethylene conduit bonded by BonDuit Adhesive to a PVC sweep as it enters a pad-mounted transformer. The item in the lower left of the photo is a spent BonDuit mixing and application nozzle--not Dave Schumacher's heroin syringe (he gave that up months ago). Underground conduit projects also benefit APC when cables are pulled into them using our lubricants! For more information about Ameren's project, visit the Power On website. Check on your local utilities' underground plans. Make sure they know about BonDuit's key role in Ameren's massive upgrade. |
![]() The Joke |
The Bank Robbery. A man charged into a bank wearing a balaclava mask and wielding a handgun. He shouted, "This is a bank robbery! Everyone get on the floor!" He then proceeded to empty the cash drawers. As he ran toward the door with the loot, a brave customer leaped up and yanked off his balaclava. The robber immediately shot the customer in the head and, after confirming the person had died, shouted, "Did anybody else here see my face?" The robber noticed another customer peering from behind a counter and went over and shot him in the head too, killing him instantly. "Did anybody else see my face?" he shouted again, waving his pistol around menacingly. There was silence for a few seconds before an elderly male voice was heard from a distant corner ... "I think my missus might have caught a glimpse." |
