?? CROFTON celebrates our 75th anniversary this year!?? CROFTON divers played a critical role in the expansion of the Humphreys Railway in Weems, VA, showcasing our expertise and commitment to challenging projects. In this unique operation, divers took turns working underwater with hydraulic chainsaws. The article notes, "The Weems job has been a little unusual, Waters said. So far, there have been no serious injuries. He explained that on a job such as this, injuries occur almost every week." At CROFTON, safety has always been our top priority.
