“HD Supply Waterworks has been an active and dedicated associate member since NUCA’s inception, lending strong support to our advocacy program and annual convention,” stated Ryan Schmitt, NUCA’s Chairman of the Board and President of Petticoat-Schmitt Civil Contractors.
The award is given annually to one associate member that has made significant contributions to NUCA, the underground utility construction and excavation industry.
