PCA Plumbing Service Conference Offered Information & Inspiration

The fourth annual PCA Plumbing Service Conference, held from August 21st to 23rd in Annapolis, MD, proved to be a monumental gathering that brought together plumbing professionals, industry leaders, and visionaries. The event, which aimed to address critical industry challenges and foster collaboration, featured an array of insightful sessions and activities that left attendees both informed and inspired. 

One of the conference’s standout highlights was the site visit to JPG Plumbing and Mechanical. Attendees had the opportunity to witness firsthand the inner workings of a successful plumbing service operation. This practical experience not only deepened participants’ understanding but also provided a platform for sharing real-world solutions to common industry challenges. 

Speakers Brought Practical Industry Know-How to the Event

The conference’s speaker lineup boasted industry leaders who delved into topics from recruitment and retention strategies to enhancing office culture for improved employee retention rates. Alternative forms of business were also explored, with a focus on changing government legislation on water efficiency standards and how to incorporate these changes into your business model.

Thank you to our members who presented!

  • John Geiling, President of JPG Plumbing
  • Michael Wallenstein, Co-President of Neptune
  • Tom Axtell, President of Lexington Plumbing
  • Kevin Walsh, Executive Vice President of E.M. Duggan

  • WINT Water Intelligence

These companies provided funding and sponsored events that contributed to the event’s success.

UA Guests Offered Added Insights

We also benefited from being right across from the United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters (UA) headquarters. We were pleased to welcome General President Mark McManus who delivered an impactful address that emphasized the UA’s commitment to fostering growth and excellence within plumbing service. Ray Boyd, UA Director of Education, and Tom Bigley, UA Director of Plumbing, discussed the current efforts to update plumbing service education, and heard requests from audience members. Brian Kelly, UA Director of HVAC Services, and Russ Borst, VP of Service at Hurst Mechanical, shared a presentation on the National Service and Maintenance Agreement and how it can apply to plumbing service.

Heat Stress: ClickSafety Explains Your Responsibility as an Employer

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), employers have a responsibility to protect their workers from extreme heat. Every year, dozens of workers die and thousands more become ill while working in hot or humid conditions. Heat is the number-one cause of weather-related deaths in the United States. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 815 heat-related worker deaths and 70,000 heat-related serious injuries between 1992 and 2017. To protect workers, employers should establish a complete heat illness prevention program in addition to observing the heat index.

Purdue Faculty Advisors’ Summer Internships at MCAA Member Companies Benefit Jobsites & Students

Jason Merchant and Ryan Manuel, both faculty advisors for the student chapter at Purdue University, took advantage of the John R. Gentille Foundation (JRGF) Faculty Continuing Education Grant to intern with MCAA member companies this summer. By working in the industry, they better understand  the challenges and opportunities that students may face and are thus better prepared to advise them. This industry experience will also help them to better teach mechanical subject matter, so the students coming out of their classes are better prepared to excel in our industry. 

Garvey France (HFI Intern) / Ryan Manuel (D.A. Dodd Faculty Intern) / Hayden Copass (D.A. Dodd Intern)

Ryan Manuel spent his summer with D.A. Dodd (Lafayette, IN) as a Faculty Intern. He used his academic and industry background to participate in a multi-dimensional role that included assisting with summer interns, conducting site visits, attending project status meetings and promoting the use of construction management software.  He conducted a workshop on software for D.A. Dodd’s foremen to help them streamline processes and to boost overall productivity. 

“Interning at D.A. Dodd offered an immersive and eye-opening exposure to the day-to-day operations of a growing mechanical contractor. I encountered intricate project schedules, struggled with tight budgets, and grasped the intricacies of team dynamics – something that can’t be fully replicated in a classroom setting. I gained extensive knowledge from observing complex mechanical installations and coordinating with subcontractors.  The D.A. Dodd team’s remarkable ability to solve on-site problems with ingenuity and resilience was truly amazing.  The experience highlighted the significance of adaptability, which I intend to emphasize to my students as I return to the classroom this fall.” 

Ryan Manuel, Purdue University Faculty Advisor
Tristan Ruhlman (HFI Intern) /  Brady Wever (Project Manager) / Jason Merchant (HFI Faculty Intern)

Jason Merchant spent his summer with Harrell-Fish, Inc. (HFI) (Columbus, IN), primarily on renovation of an old mall that is turning into an all-inclusive medical complex. Every type of medical doctor from a general practitioner to an endocrinologist will be in the facility, which is designed to boost community well-being by making medical appointments more convenient.

“In my CM 150 materials and methods class I stress 3 things:

  1. Respect for the men and women who do the day to day work.
  2. Safety is of utmost importance for a successful project. 
  3. The construction industry as a whole tends to become a small world with the more experience you garner. 

All three of these points came to fruition this summer during my Faculty Internship. I am unique in the aspect that I am a card-carrying UA member and am able to still perform field work.  My involvement with the MCAA and MCAI has also kept me relevant and up-to-date on the latest trends and technologies. It’s obvious to any student who comes into our classroom or lab at Purdue that I am passionate about the mechanical industry. The JRGF scholarship will allow me to help foster that passion by sharing my first-hand experience and knowledge with my students. The primary objectives that I’ll be bringing back to the classroom this fall include lessons learned from the field, working as a team, and the importance of effectively communicating in this industry.

Additionally, boots on the ground is an important part in the big picture of the mechanical industry. The JRGF grant was a fortuitous opportunity and something that I feel many MCAA faculty advisors should utilize. Anyone who teaches HVAC, mechanical or plumbing curriculum will grow and benefit from a summer spent with an MCAA member, made possible by the JRGF grant. The opportunity to work with member contractors is invaluable.” 

Jason Merchant, Purdue University Faculty Advisor
