In the few years since Bradd Read has gone into business for himself, he has already seen how valuable a lifetime of construction experience can be. Read and his wife Tracey founded their companies, New England Helical & Excavation Inc. (NEHE) and NEHE Waterproofing Sales & Service, in his native Seekonk, Mass., January 2011. However, Reed had been in the business much longer than that. He learned how to operate heavy machinery by age 10. During his teenage years, he
could run anything contractors asked. “This is the only life I have known. I started with the first company when they were starting up. I was friends with the sons [of the owner] and we all were 10 years old, so all we did — after school, weekends and vacations –—was work.

Unless you are standing right next to them, you may miss out on the work performed by the crew from Enterprise Trenchless Technologies (ETTI) — and that’s precisely the point. The Lisbon Falls, Maine, company that was recently awarded the 2013 Equipment World Magazine Contractor of the Year award specializes in “HDD,” or horizontal directional drilling, a construction method that allows a drill to be steered and tracked from the surface, without the need to dig
a trench or disrupt the surface. HDD can be done under rivers, lakes or inlets; parking lots, roads or bridges, and of course, under buildings and houses as well. Besides HDD, ETTI also offers open trench construction, poly fusion services, vacuum excavation and geothermal installation. Founded in 1995, ETTI has completed more than 3,000 see ETTI page 6
