COSCO, Inc. provides and installs temporary fencing throughout the GLX and will also be installing protective screen fencing on the bridges. The company began their work in the early stages of the project, COSCO President Ann Costantino told us, "[which] has allowed us to see the project literally come out of the ground."
COSCO knows a thing or two about building from the ground up.
The Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) firm was established in 1986 with only a few used trucks and a shot on a statewide contract. Since then, a strong work ethic has helped grow the firm to work on projects throughout Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The COSCO team's 34 years of experience bidding and working on railroad projects helped them join the GLX.
Maintaining a safe work environment is challenging along a railroad, because everyone always needs to be aware of their surroundings and potential hazards.
"On every project," Ann Costantino says, "the most rewarding moment is sending our employees home safely to their families at the end of the day." She's proud to have been able to do that on the GLX, which she credits to the GLXC culture and commitment to safety.
Ann is also proud to showcase her company's capabilities on the GLX. It's an opportunity to show off the COSCO team's effort, skill and workmanship. Those are the components it takes to build a company from the ground up.
