Our founder, Tony Cannamela founded his first company in 1999, with a simple desire to exceed customer expectations while providing cost effective construction solutions.

A veteran in the construction industry, he had already seen many areas of this growing industry, that needed change.

Early beginnings started with basics…...

During Tony Cannamela's years in construction, he had often found installations of barriers, lacking quality and stability desired by management. He decided this was the place to start, by constructing and installing stable and weather resistant protective barriers, the right way.

Early stories tell of a tight budget, requiring hand digging in preparation for the installation of fence. They installed all types of BMP’s and soon the word of their quality work spread.

In 2000, Protective Barriers, Inc. was created. We installed all types of BMPs. One day a city inspector stopped at one of their jobs, an installation of 6,000 feet of silt fence. The gentleman walked up and down the full length of the fence line.

Holding their breath, the inspector came over to them and told them what a fantastic job they had done.

It was this job that launched Protective Barriers and the beginning of their reputation for quality.

In addition to Protective Barriers, we began offering stormwater inspections. In a few short years the company was conducting inspections for over 250 sites.

Maintaining the documentation of inspections, responsive actions and follow up emails was labor intensive. We tested many software programs and none met our requirements. Our team along with senior programmers began development of an internal program called Stormpromax.

Our first version of Stormpromax 1.1 was created and released. Our system's efficiency and ability to provide clients with current and historical data soon had clients requesting access.

The team immediately began enhancing the program to allow client access. Version 2.1 was completed allowing clients to access their data, view responsive actions and allowed the inspector to upload a picture of problems and allow customers to view and authorize solutions.

We added a new compliance solution, Fieldpro. This add-on solution is portable, making site inspections simple.

Simply sync your Stormpromax solution to your laptop and go. Bring all of your valuable information; documents, photographs, permits and other necessary information with you.

This solution has the ability to upload information directly on your laptop while on a site. Simply re-sync the system upon returning to the office, eliminating the need for inputting data.
