June Recognition Award – Faiza Nazar & Max Szcsepanski!
Faiza and Max showed initiative and innovation when they took it upon themselves to design and setup a fully functioning solar powered refueling system!
When using the fuel cell to refuel generators and other machinery on site, the team had to park a site vehicle next to the fuel cell, connect the battery from the car to power the fuel cell, then refuel the machinery. Max and Faiza used items they had at home (solar panel, solar battery charger and stainless box to house batteries) and other items left over from previous projects, to setup a solar panel to power the refueling system. Great job guys, this really showed value added thinking!
Faiza and Max will receive a $150 gift card each!
