Qualified staff help TDB meet Pope & Talbot's high standards

I have had the pleasure of working with the management and crews of TDB since 1994. During this time they have provided me with quality work and good customer service.

TDB shows a proactive attitude in ensuring EMS standards are met and ensuring safety is number one. They show a willingness to adapt to divisional changes and are innovative in keeping my projects on-time and on-budget.

It is my experience that TDB employs qualified staff who are fully capable of handling large projects that meet the high standards that Pope & Talbot Ltd. sets. Because of this, I will continue to employ TDB.

TDB is professional.

After TDB completed a multi-phase project for the Banff Fire Department, Fire Chief Fred Haight had this to say:

At all times during the project Wade Sjodin and his staff demonstrated professionalism and a clear understanding of the project. There was no hesitation by either party during the project to openly discuss any changes or variations that arose and a solution was always easily attained.

TDB staff are easy to work with and bring creative solutions to their clients.

Costs are in control, productivity is high, and issues are minimal. TDB is diligent in making sure actions are taken to ensure our satisfaction. From a supervisor perspective, TDB was a pleasure to work with. Its employees are 'low maintenance' and required little direction from our staff to keep operations running smoothly. The contractor does not hesitate to bring forward suggestions for continual improvement.

TDB is innovative, flexible and listens to 'clients' input.

TDB worked within financial parameters to meet changing objectives as the pine beetle infestation grew over the year-long project, requiring removal of most of the pine on city land. TDB was able to deliver services on-time and on-budget. TDB has consistently shown innovation in its field, and has always been open to incorporating client input. I would recommend TDB.

TDB believes in listening to clients' needs, hiring local and going above and beyond.

After developing and executing a tree removal plan for the District of Hudson's Hope this is what Carolyn Bronnick, District of Hudson's Hope Administrator, had to say:

Throughout the process, TDB staff were readily available to discuss issues as they arose. The project manager was extremely accommodating and went above and beyond to hire local citizens on very short notice because it was important to the community. Project planning did not end when the fuel removal began. TDB continued to monitor and rework the plan to ensure the project came in on-budget. The solutions provided were very innovative, the work was of high quality and the environmental impact was minimal. I would recommend TDB and hope to work with them again.

TDB is committed to safety.

TDB has previously worked in our traditional areas and we have a long working history together. TDB has displayed a willingness to employ and teach Cheslatta band members the principles of forest management. It has also demonstrated a strong commitment to safe working conditions in the forest.

Rob Prideaux, Manager of Supply and Services for School District No. 57 had this to say about TDB after working with over the past several years to remove Mountain Pine Beetle infested trees in the area.

TDB delivered their services on-time and on-budget and were very cooperative when there were minor deficiencies to be addressed. I was especially impressed with their attention to the safety of the students and residents at each site. There are many challenges when working on property and pets are inclined to be anywhere and everywhere at anytime.

I would recommend TDB for any similar projects under their current management team.

I wish to highly recommend TDB Consultants Inc. as a competent, innovative and qualified company.
