by | Jul 5, 2019 | PVS Structures

PVS Structures is honored to be a part of the new addition to Westside High School.

The Westside Engineering Labs expansion project will significantly expand the current welding, fabrication and manufacturing program at Westside High School.  This workforce development project was 100% privately funded ($1,159,000) through 30 supporters, and the project is scheduled to be completed in time for the upcoming school year.  The project will also provide an instructional space that is conducive to the education that students need in order to enhance their exposure to welding, fabrication and manufacturing, and develop the skills needed for this high demand career field. 

Tyler Owen, CEO and President of Owen Industries is a Westside High School graduate (1990), as well as Executive Assistant Susan Sherman (1991).

Robotics Class Visits PVS

by | May 2, 2019 | PVS Structures

St. Margaret Mary’s Robotics Class, made up of forty 4th through 8th graders, toured PVS to see how robotics are used in the steel industry.  Students viewed the PVS Structures cutting edge robotic technology in action. The students also toured the PVS Metals building to see laser cutting, press brakes and the Red Bud machine. 

The Robotics Class meets twice a week for two hours. The students design, build and at the older level, program their own robots. The students also learn that failure is an important step to success. 

The students were fascinated with the steps that are taken for many of the items PVS builds. We hope to have some of them in our future!

Dewayne Bright started at the PVS Service Center in 1999, loading trucks on the night shift. After a few months, Dewayne started going back to the old burning table to get some overtime. The Plant Manager at the time, notice that he was learning more of the “high tech” machines quickly and talked to him about running a new machine coming to PVS called a “laser”. After 3 ½ years of running lasers, he started on the BDL (Drill Line) and ran this for the next eight years until the Voortman Coper came in. After six years of running the Voortman and taking on some lead responsibilities, Dewayne was recently promoted and is now the West Bay Forman for PVS-Structures.
