During the last few months, Dowco has received several inquiries on some very interesting and challenging projects, including an extremely complex and challenging design which will surely become a stunning landmark for New York. Dowco has submitted bid proposals on the project and is anxiously awaiting news of an award.

Dowco has also received inquiries regarding a project in Thailand and also on a project in Colorado similar to the Solaris project, the detailing of which is now nearing completion. Bidding in general is still very active although it remains extremely competitive.

Dowco has been awarded several new portions of work on the Alstom – Maritza project and is in the second phase of detailing on the new Alstom - RDK8 project, which now involves five of our offices. Our other crews remain very busy on a wide variety of projects including airports, hospitals and high rises just to name a few.

During the first week of April, I attended the North American Steel Conference along with several Dowco colleagues. As in past years, Dowco participated as an exhibitor and had a display booth that was well situated and designed, where we managed to attract our fair share of attention from the conference attendees. It was a real joy to be able to take advantage of our booth's couches and chat face to face with friends that I have not seen in several years. I also thoroughly enjoyed meeting many new industry colleagues and plan to do several follow-up calls during the coming weeks.

In addition to staffing the booth, I managed to take in several of the seminars being offered and even managed to learn a thing or two. (Who says that you can't teach an old dog new tricks?) Hugh managed to create quite a buzz when he hosted the seminar titled "How to Get Rich in Detailing", with many a client dropping by the booth later with a smile on their face to chat about it. In short, a good time was had by all, and the week was an unqualified success!
