| 摘要： | Gerald DeNeal compares excavating a trench with the LeveeLock system compared with traditional equipment as akin to a surgeon with more advanced technology at his hands. "Our concept is minimally disturbing," he said. "It's like minimally invasive surgery." Continuing that comparison, he noted, LeveeLock is also safer, more efficient and more economical. "First, it is easier to avoid falling into a narrow trench, so it is safer," he said. "Second, it is much more efficient and less total environmental disturbance to handle the material from a narrow trench than that of a wide trench." The LeveeLock system is based on an idea DeNeal came up with over the course of his more than 40-year career as an environmental engineer and project supervisor in the coal mining industry and reclamation/environmental side of the mining business. It included several years as a certified federal dam inspector. "We knew we had something very special here," co-founder Eric Gregg said of DeNeal's idea. Gregg, with his background in local government as well as market development, was eager to help turn DeNeal's idea into a marketable product. Deneal and Gregg, both of Harris-burg, Ill., know each other from going to church together. They started LeveeLock with their business partner, Jim Lancaster of Fargo, N.C., whom they described as a business strategist who keeps them on course and helps them avoid potential business pitfalls. |
