Making sure the point wasn’t missed, a guest speaker delivered a gut-wrenching personal account of the importance of everyone taking responsibility and doing their part.

The half-day events were held near Ranger’s West Palm Beach and Winter Garden offices on back-to-back days, using expo and conference halls large enough to accommodate the company’s hundreds of employees, who also received safety gift bags, raffled prizes and catered lunches.

Ranger Crew Participates In NAPA Safety Video It was “Lights, Camera, Asphalt!” on a Ranger Construction paving job in Miami-Dade County recently.

The company participated in a video production sponsored by the National Asphalt Pavement Association to promote roadway safety.

An asphalt crew led by Foreman Jose Treminio was filmed while paving US-27, with an actor performing the close-ups and reaction shots.

A Ranger crew led by Foreman John Parker is doing site work for a new hotel in Dania, FL. After clearing the trees, unsuitable foundation soil was replaced with aggregate materials.

In a humorous but pointed demonstration, later revealed to have a serious real-life backstory, two Ranger employees try their hand at a simple, everyday task while simulating being “disabled” from a hypothetical workplace accident.

You know a topic is serious when a company shuts down its entire operations to talk about it. Ranger Construction recently held a mandatory “Safety Stand Down” for each of its two Florida divisions. Presentations included reminders on workplace harassment policy and social media guidelines, but the primary message of the day was clear: Ranger is serious about developing and maintaining a zero-accident culture.

With Earthwork Winding Down, US-27 Job Heading For Early Completion In Central FL side to rebuild that base.

The latter work was started just after the storm, minimizing hurricane clean up and repair.

FDOT allowed a schedule adjustment to cover the mandated emergency shutdown period, but Ranger has more than made up the down time and now anticipates finishing the project several months ahead of schedule.

Maybe there isn’t a “good” time for a hurricane to blow through a road construction project, but in a fortuitous case of timing, Ranger’s US-27/FL-25 widening project west of Orlando was at an optimal point in the schedule when Hurricane Irma paid a call in September, causing only a short delay and allowing the company to continue toward its goal of an early finish in 2018.

The six-mile, $37.5-million project involves substantial excavation and grading work to transform an aging four-lane road into a six-lane thoroughfare, but very little exposed earth was actually threatened by Irma’s powerful wind and rains. The company had already built one side of the new roadway, including the asphalt, but hadn’t yet removed the old asphalt from the other

This page: Photos taken in October 2017 on Ranger’s US-27/FL-25 widening project in central Florida show the substantial amount of excavation and grading work that was spared, by just a few weeks, the wrath of Hurricane Irma.

Widening Progresses On US-221, US-321 In Western NC

Photos by John Riley, Jr.

As Vecellio & Grogan finishes the northern section of a US-321 widening project in Blowing Rock, NC (right), and pushes toward completion of the job’s southern end, the company is also clearing land for four miles of US-221 widening in Ashe County (above). Both projects are near the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains in the northwestern part of the state.

Vecellio & Grogan On Fast Track To Complete I-26 Project In NC Right out of the gate, Vecellio & Grogan was a natural fit for a high-priority I-26 improvement project near Columbus, NC. With its reputation for tackling tough projects and accommodating tight schedules, V&G’s low bid of $19 million was readily accepted as part of a fast-track strategy to have US-74 interchange upgrades substantially completed before the World Equestrian Games are held nearby in September 2018.

V&G’s work involves widening and repaving along the existing I-26/US-74 interchange alignment, but also constructing a more efficient connector road between the two major highways.

To accommodate this, two small bridges will be built. Stream relocation and several mechanically stabilized earth walls are also included.

Finishing a major project less than a year after receiving the contract will require V&G to work multiple shifts and coordinate overlapping construction activities, all while keeping a close eye on the finish line. The company is already setting a good pace.

Expected to draw an estimated 500,000 horse lovers, the games will be held over several weeks at Tryon International Equestrian Center in Mill Spring.

R E TIR E M EN T S LUIS DELGADO, ASPHALT SUPT., RANGER

Luis Delgado began his paving career in 1981 with a Miami company that, after a series of ownership changes involving APAC and Oldcastle, became part of Ranger Construction in 2007.

By the time Luis became part of Ranger’s team, he had worked his way up to Asphalt Superinte Miami location until his retirement, after 36 years, in 2017.

Luis was the very definition of dedication and hard work, making him a very valuable member of the team.

DON HENRY, SHOP FOREMAN, RANGER

Don Henry began his career with Ranger Construction in West Palm Beach as a Field Mechanic in 1986.

Even as Don showed his expertise as a Mechanic, he also developed leadership skills and, after transferring to Ranger’s operations in Orlando, was promoted to Shop Foreman in 2000.

Don’s skill was complemented by a strong work ethic. He helped ensure Ranger’s consistent production in a safe working environment. He also shared his expertise with less experienced Mechanics looking for guidance and training.

Don celebrated 30 years of service in 2016, before retiring at the end of 2017.
