Highlighting a Reliable Contracting Business Partner: Alpha Graphics

Thursday, July 26th, 2012

Norm Myers and Alpha Graphics (formerly Revere Printing), the printing company that Reliable Contracting uses for most of its printing, were recently featured in an Odenton Patch article, ‘I Want To See How It Turns Out’. Alpha Graphics is also co-members of the West County Chamber of Commerce with Reliable.

Norm Myers and the Odenton Town Center Plan Oversight Committee

Norm, who is 73-years-old, is the longest-running of the oversight committee, having helped plan Odenton for more than 20 years. And until recently, Norm had never missed a minute of a single meeting. That was until recently, when Norm excused himself politely and walked out of an oversight committee meeting that had reached well into its fourth hour.

But Norm did not leave in protest; Norm left because he had surgery in the morning and needed his rest. In fact, it was amazing that Norm was at the meeting at all.

“Norm is old school,” said Joe Gorman, a former committee member and president of the Greater Odenton Improvement Association (GOIA). “He’s always had the best interests of the town center in mind. He’s always wanted to make it look good and have good amenities.”

Norm has lived in Odenton or Gambrills for most of his life. And it has been his desire to see the community grow and expand. It was for this reason that Norm helped form the oversight committee. But he not only wanted to ensure that Odenton got developed, but Norm also wanted to ensure that residents had a say in how Odenton got developed.

“He’s been Mr. Odenton for a generation and has been active in everything,” said GOIA Vice President David Tibbets of Norm. “It’s on and on and he does it all well and still makes a living.”

Recently, however, Norm has been slowed by cancer treatments. Still, he goes to work each and every day and has yet to skip an entire meeting of the town center committee.

“The only reason I stuck with the committee for so long is that I wanted to see it completed,” said Norm. “Whether I’ll live long enough to see it completed, I don’t know. I’d be 100 if it took as many years as I’ve been involved with it so far.”

We thank you Norm for your dedication to our community!

Excavation & Grading: The Initial Two Step in any New Asphalt Construction

Thursday, July 12th, 2012

New asphalt cannot be laid on top of damaged asphalt. Before road, highway, or parking lot construction can take place, the existing asphalt structure must be excavated and then graded. These steps are crucial in the overall construction process.

  • Excavation: The existing asphalt must be removed. Excavation is the process of preparing the prospective location of the driveway for the asphalt that will eventually be laid.
  • Grading: Now the area must be shaped, creating the proper pitch in the underlying material so that water drains properly once the asphalt is in place.

What is Stormwater Management, Why is it Import, & What are the Benefits?

Friday, July 6th, 2012

Stormwater refers to water from a number of different sources, including rain, melted snow, and any other form of precipitation that comes into direct contact with the ground. This water will do one of several things:

  1. The water will seep into the ground.
  2. The water will be absorbed by vegetation.
  3. The water will evaporate.
  4. The water will runoff into sewers, streams, or lakes.

The Natural Water Cycle

  1. Our atmosphere absorbs water from the earth.
  2. This water falls back down to earth as precipitation.
  3. The precipitation is absorbed by the soil or vegetation.
  4. The water that is not absorbed by vegetation eventually evaporates back into the atmosphere, thus continuing the cycle.

Stormwater Management

Stormwater management is important for one primary reason…Pollution!

Unfortunately, we as humans have had a very negative effect on the water cycle. This is because water cannot reach the soil through many of the manmade structures we have erected, including roads and buildings. Furthermore, as stormwater flows to and through manmade drainage systems, it picks up toxic debris and other pollutants, including fertilizers, oil, fecal matter, and more!

The Benefits of Stormwater Management

  • Decreasing polluted stormwater
  • Reducing the negative environmental impact of polluted stormwater on lakes, rivers, and watersheds
  • Reducing the risk of erosion
  • Maintaining an uninterrupted water cycle
  • Minimizing health risks
  • Reducing the risk of urban flooding
  • And more!

If you have any questions about Stormwater Management or if you have a construction project that you need completed right the first time, please contact Reliable Contracting by calling 410-987-0313 or visit our website.
