Chairman's Letter
A
Formula for Excellence
Why not borrow from the
best!
At HOH, our company
slogan is: E=mc² (excellence) = (moxie) x
(conscientiousness)˛
Moxie describes our
fortitude in taking on and applying common sense to
difficult problems.
Conscientiousness is
the care we use in applying the right resources for
successful solutions. When our sister specialists in
steel were convinced that neural technology could
optimize the performance of electric arc furnaces,
they developed the Intelligent Arc Furnace™, picked
for an Outstanding Engineering Achievement Award by
the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE)
and now in use worldwide. That's E=mc˛.
Few can forget the No.
1 Continuous Slab Caster and Water Pollution Control
Facility that HOH designed for Inland Steel, with
imaginative innovations. The NSPE selected it for
another Outstanding Engineering Achievement Award,
as it did the famed Tunnel and Reservoir Plan, the
multi-billion dollar pollution control and flood
abatement project for the Metropolitan Water
Reclamation District of Greater Chicago. From
improvement in industrial production to safeguards
for the environment, HOH sets the standard for
excellence. But excellence doesn't end with
technical innovation.
Project management that
melds control with creativity ensures that the
processes we design and the systems and solutions we
devise are thorough, reliable, maintainable, as well
as on or ahead of schedule and within budget. When
one major client estimated that a new facility would
cost $125 million, HOH found the right combination
of determination and resources to bring it in for
under $105 million. That, too, is E=mc˛ — breaking
excellence down into parts, and not just saying it
but demonstrating it. We plan for start-up the day
we initialize your project. These are the reasons
why HOH continues to command the confidence and
satisfaction of its clients.
