Elkhorn views quality as a normal by-product of our Guiding Values and Objectives. Quality, to us is an attribute built into our products and services by skilled, knowledgeable, dedicated, and loyal employee-owners. We see every one of our processes; Safety, Project Management, Payroll, Training…etc, as an integral part of the final product and service. We seek every opportunity to improve, adapt, and embrace new technologies.

Currently we have established teams to re-engineer all of our processes using ISO-9000 standards with the intent of becoming registered. We recognize that our employee-owners are our most valuable assets and as employee-owners our safety is our top priority. With this in mind we have started with our safety process followed in order by operations/project management, administration, information systems, quality and training. Our goal is simple, provide concise, consistent, user friendly processes to every employee-owner allowing them to do the job right every time.

Project quality is critical in proving products and services that meet our customers needs. Elkhorn has developed quality procedures that we use as a standard to produce project specific procedures tailored to each customer's requirements. We use approved vendors to provide laboratory testing, NDE, and inspection services as needed. We are often required to follow our customer's quality programs and have developed our quality program in a way that allows us to adapt.

Elkhorn's wholly owned subsidiary, HOAD, Inc. holds ASME "U", "S" and "R" stamps. We maintain an approved ASME Quality Assurance Manual, which includes qualified welding procedures and welder performance tests.

The Associated Builders and Contractors have honored Elkhorn with the Accredited Quality Contractor Award for the years of 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001. Elkhorn is pleased to have received this award and is committed to maintaining programs and processes that are deserving of such recognition.
