We were specifically recognized for setting a new standard in safety and professionalism during our audit. PACS will be deploying new cutting edge LIDAR systems in August that will set a new industry standard for accuracy and efficiency and it will be something very special. We are safe, professional, and fully insured for your sake and ours,” explains Scott McGowan, President.
