SERVICE
Layton Employee
Builds Ramp for
Disabled Veteran
By Jason Hill
I was approached by a friend, Tim Foley,
who works in conjunction with the Road
Home to find housing for homeless and
disabled veterans. They found an apartment
for a homeless, disabled vet, but it needed a
wheelchair ramp and he couldn’t find anyone
who could do the work. They were in danger of
losing the apartment and asked if Layton could
help. I asked Superintendent Brad Woodford,
and he agreed and met with Tim on site.
Tim had previously lined up donated lumber
for the ramp, but unfortunately that also fell
through. Without being asked, Brad went
around to the various lumber suppliers and
told them about the project. Stringham Lumber
agreed to donate the wood, and Burton
Lumber agreed to donate the hardware and
handrail. In the end, the only investment was
Brad’s time. He went above and beyond to get
this taken care of.
“We couldn’t be more grateful to you for
helping our veterans be comfortable in their
new homes, as we know they fought for the
comfort we enjoy in our own homes.”
Chris Collier, SSVF Housing Coordinator
at The Road Home says the ramp made an
immediate impact. “We would like to extend
our deepest appreciation for your recent help
with the wheelchair ramp you constructed
for our veteran. It brings us great joy to
inform you that he is doing well as he adjusts
into permanent housing, and part of that
adjustment we owe to you.”

COVER STORY
Drones bring new perspective to job sites
When a subcontractor
brought an Unmanned Aerial
Vehicle (UAV), also known
as a “drone,” to a job site,
Layton Superintendent Bob
Hendrickson immediately saw
the possibilities.
“After watching him fly the
quadcopter, we sat down and
talked about its capabilities.
We always pay someone to
do photos, and for the same
price we can own our own
equipment to use on multiple
jobs,” Bob said. In addition
to the cost savings, “for me
the biggest benefit is to gain
an overall bird’s-eye view of
a project and to be able to
watch the progress. It’s also a
great timeline tool.”
Another benefit is being able
to track installation of equipment that is difficult or impossible to see from ground
level. “It is a great tool to
watch safety on a roof without
climbing up there yourself to
make sure everyone is tied
off and fall protection is in
place,” Bob said. “I have a
great video of roofers using
their ‘Yo-Yo’ to place standing
seam roofing.”
Other contractors across the
nation are also using UAVs

industry to monitor safety, progress and prevent theft.

for safety monitoring, theft
protection and progress
tracking. Photo and video
quality are excellent at 14 Mp
and 1080 HD, respectively.
Bob said learning to fly the
UAV is not hard but does
take practice, and operators
must always be aware of their
surroundings. He said clients
The Layton Way Nov-Dec 2014
have responded enthusiastically to photos and footage.
Many companies across the
U.S. deploy UAVs, and they
have been in commercial use
for years in other countries.
Congress and the FAA are
sorting out regulations regarding safety and privacy.

GROUNDBREAKING
Mayor Kelvyn Cullimore of Cottonwood Heights, Utah, takes the controls as demolition begins in order to
make way for a new municipal complex.
Cottonwood Heights Makes Space for New City Hall
The city of Cottonwood Heights, Utah, bought – and then demolished – eight homes to make way
for a new city hall. Layton will begin the main construction in spring on the new 38,000 SF building which will house city administrators and the police department.
Cottonwood Heights Mayor Kelvyn Cullimore and former owners of the demolished homes were
among the citizens who operated the backhoe to bring the structures down.
The new municipal complex is being built on what Mayor Cullimore calls “a public plaza.” The city
hall will be next to a middle school, the Cottonwood Heights Recreation Center (where Layton has
also done work) and the major city park.
