DSO and RRC drill for a bridge rehabilitation project in McCurtain County, OK.

A RRC/DSO crew spent the week battling difficult rock conditions at a bridge rehabilitation project in McCurtain County, Oklahoma.  Highly fractured bedrock of variable consistency (moderately hard to very hard) and composition (sandstone, chert) resulted in longer than usual coring time.  We are very fortunate and thankful to have great drillers!

Red Rock Consulting and DSO celebrate 4 years!

Red Rock Consulting celebrated 4 years in business at an open house on July 12, 2013.  Drilling Services of Oklahoma (DSO), clients, family and friends were all on hand to participate in the festivities.  RRC was also celebrating the addition of the new soils testing laboratory and 2 new employees – Cody McCubbin and Tommy Bounds.  Thank you to all RRC employees for a great 4 years!!!!!!

Red Rock and DSO employees enjoyed a little time off at Broken Bow Lake. Good times and great stories to tell. Maybe next year Jason will remember to fill out a vacation request…

The RRC crew recently volunteered at the Hope Center in Edmond, Oklahoma

Red Rock Consulting employees volunteered their time yesterday at the Edmond Hope Center.  We sorted canned goods from the recent letter carrier’s food drive.  The amount of food that was donated was amazing and inspiring!

The purpose of HOPE Center is to meet the basic needs of members of the Edmond community by providing food, clothing, household items and financial assistance for rent and utilities.  For more information, please visit the Hope Center website at www.hopecenterofedmond.com.  To volunteer, contact Cheryl Woods at volunteerathope@gmail.com.

Tommy Bounds, EI, recently joined the Red Rock Consulting team.

Tommy D. Bounds, EI, joined Red Rock Consulting on May 13, 2013, as a project specialist.  Tommy will be assisting with geotechnical projects.  He is a recent graduate of Oklahoma University, both with his bachelors and masters in Civil Engineering.  Tommy grew up in Konawa, Oklahoma.  Welcome,  Tommy!

Jason T. Unruh, RRC employee and deer hunter extraodinaire, finished the season with his first buck.   The furry critter never saw the Deer Slayer’s cross bow coming.  The event occured early in “Just forget it” January, which followed “Don’t Shave” December and “No Shave” November.  Way to go Unruh!

Deer season proves to be somewhat of an obstacle for Red Rock Consulting each year, as employees and drillers alike are avid bow and rifle hunters. Thank goodness “Finally” February is just around the corner and we can see those fresh faces and less carnage soon!

Red Rock Consulting recieved word today that the company has been recognized by the Oklahoma State Department of Health as a Certified Healthy Oklahoma Business!

The Program began in 2003 recognizing those businesses (both profit and non-profit) that are working to improve Oklahoma’s health status by providing health and wellness opportunities for their employees.  Certification requirements vary by size of workplace, but in general, they include providing employee health screenings, workplace health education, opportunities for physical exercise activities, management support for healthy workplace environments, and sharing wellness activities within their respective communities.

Red Rock Consulting (RRC) and Drilling Services of Oklahoma (DSO) celebrated our 3rd Christmas party together on December 15th.  Festivities began at Ted’s (after a limo ride from Norman), where we met other friends from Interworks, Cobb Engineering (lab) and Terracon (lab).  The RRC and DSO crew continued with a limo tour of lights through Chickasha and Purcell.  Well, there was a limo ride anyway.  The night ended in Norman at the Embassy Suites.  Good times were had by all.

Thanks for a great 2012, Everyone!!

RRC Employees and Cheryl Woods, Volunteer Coordinator at the Hope Center

Red Rock Consulting employees volunteered their time last Friday at the Edmond Hope Center.  We organized diapers, stocked food shelves and helped give out food donations.  It was such a great experience, that Red Rock Consulting also decided to sponsor a needy family for Christmas, also a program of the Hope Center.

The purpose of HOPE Center is to meet the basic needs of members of the Edmond community by providing food, clothing, household items and financial assistance for rent and utilities.  For more information, please visit the Hope Center website at www.hopecenterofedmond.com.  To volunteer, contact Cheryl Woods at volunteerathope@gmail.com.
