Jack Madore is wearing his never-ending grin. He is standing on a construction site lined with military tanks and a single McElroy fusion machine. He can talk circles around anyone, especially if the topic happens to be high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe, but now he is silent. His squinted gaze is locked on the jagged Rocky Mountains that hang as a backdrop over the scene. He is pausing to smell the roses; or perhaps trying to feel the vibration of the pipe that is being pulled underground beneath his feet. The pipe is part of a new HDPE, 20,000-foot, totally fused potable water system for Fort Carson Military Post located on the outskirts of Colorado Springs. That’s what the smile is all about. (
