IBEW 1245 members from PG&E demonstrated their prowess at the 2017 International Utility Locate Rodeo in Fort Worth, Texas. This was just the second time that they’ve competed at this level level, and they proved unequivocally that they are a force to be reckoned with.
Francisco Garcia came in 1st place overall in the Gas division, while Efrain Nava came in 2nd overall in the Power division. Our members also dominated some of the toughest events. In the Spray Smart Hot lap, Efrain Nava came in 1st, and Francisco Garcia came in 3rd; and in the “Locate from Hell” competition, Nava once again came in first, and Billy Dawley came in 3rd.
A heartfelt congrats to our outstanding competitors!
