Gameplanning Paves Way to Success for Eosso Brothers
It’s
all about building relationships for Eosso Brothers
Paving, a paving contractor based in Matawan, NJ.
Developing a highly interactive Web site, attending
trade shows and courting home owner’s associations have
resulted in new business for this full-service paving
contractor.
The
company has served commercial, residential, and
municipal customers by repaving condominium parking lots
through the Garden State.
Eosso
brothers paving can repave condominium parking lot with
minimal disruption to homeowners and tenants. The
company sends daily notices to inform tenants of its
progress and provides them with a password to monitor
the paving schedule on the Web site.
On a
condominium parking lot project, Society Hill @
Somerset, Eosso Brothers demonstrated how easily it can
complete a milling and paving project in only 24 days.
On this job the company was able to lay down 3,800 tons
of asphalt in six days averaging 650 tons per day.
Eosso
Brothers starts every job by developing a pavement
management plan and custom mapping system. These are
useful tools used daily for tracking cost and
production.
Milling
was accomplished with Wirtgen 1200 milling machine in
the first eight days of the schedule and was set at a
2-inc. cut and a 48-in width. The company’s paving
workhorse is a 2006 Ingersoll Rand 3120 paver. It was
laying down 650 tons of asphalt per day totaling 3,800
tons of asphalt covering the 320,000-sq-ft. parking lot.
Asphalt came 6 mi. away from Trap Rock’s Kingston plant
and was carried to the job site using six trucks.
Compaction was accomplished using a variety of Ingersoll
Rand vibratory rollers that included a DD16, DD30, DD32,
and a DD70. Tools, material and rentals were supplied
by Asphalt Care Equipment & Supplies of Bensalem, PA.
Tom
Eosso, vice president and part owner of the company,
also believes in relationship building with suppliers.
“We
recently purchased our new Ingersoll Rand 3120 paver
from Asphalt Care Equipment and Supplies, a company that
understands our business,” said Eosso.
“The
owner, sales manager, and employees have been in the
field on paving projects and understand problems unique
to our industry,” said Eosso. “When it comes to
equipment purchases, their expertise helps in the
decision-making process.”
Eosso
ran the project with 16 cross trained employees who can
operate equipment or do the line striping using a Graco
line striper. When the line stripping is complete and
the final cleanup is done, it’s time for a final
inspection.
Eosso
usually makes the inspection himself after the first
rain and outlines areas where he sees puddles. The
company then returns with is truck mounted infrared
machine to repair troubled areas quickly.
“We
like to maintain our new equipment and keep our
employees happy,” added Eosso. “Our trucks are equipped
with satellite radios and all our employees are given
benefits.”
“Because we are a family owned business, we understand
the importance of keeping long-term employees,” said
Eosso.
