Check out the aerial videos captured by Delaware County’s drone of Righter’s crew working on the Klondike Road Culvert project.

Installing and taking a journey through the CON/SPAN^®  

Innovative Water Diversion System

The project involved replacing the existing deficient corrugated metal pipe culvert with a three sided arch culvert and approximately 50′ of roadway work.

Jerry McVey was the Field Supervisor, Mike Killilea was the Project Manager, and Bill Wyner was the Project Estimator.  The project was completed November 2017.

Congrats to Bill, Mike, Jerry and the Crew for a job well done and a project that you can be proud of!

Buckeye Chuck and Punxsutawney Phil Are In Agreement!

Sigh…Six more weeks of winter is what they predict.  Both have been wrong before so there IS hope!!!  Read on…

“The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration lists Groundhog Day predictions since 1988. Only six of Phil’s last 30 predictions were correct, the NOAA reported.  That’s a 20 percent accuracy rate.  Last year Ohio’s own Buckeye Chuck also saw his shadow and predicted more winter. Here in Cincinnati temperatures for February and March stayed above average. But if you are going to pick a groundhog prognosticator, you may want to be a homer. Since 2006, Ohio’s own Buckeye Chuck has been twice as accurate as Phil, with six correct predictions to Phil’s three.”  — Source:  WLWT5 (www.wlwt.com)

It May Be Warming Up But Winter Is Far From Over!

Stay warm!  Stay safe!  Keep smiling!

Righter Celebrates the Upcoming Holidays and a Retirement! A Video Tribute, too!

On Friday, December 8, 2017, employees of The Righter Company, and some of their family members and guests, joined together in the shop area for Der Dutchman food (and pies!!!), fellowship, games and service awards.  This year, we also celebrated the upcoming retirement of one of our longtime employees, Richard Fink.  His total time of service to the company is just over 30 years.  Richard has worked as a Carpenter, Foreman and, in recent years, as a Field Supervisor.  His last project with Righter was Kingston Water System Improvements, which consisted of installing replacement chemical feed equipment, minor piping/metering improvements/electrical and control improvements and installation of standby power facilities at the existing village WTP and wellfield.

We wish Richard much relaxation and happiness in the years to come!

Watch the video tribute to our hard-working field employees!

Columbus Preparatory Academy Visits Righter on #givingtuesday

Columbus Preparatory Academy, a charter school located 2.4 miles from The Righter Company office, turned the tables a bit on this #givingtuesday by giving back to all the businesses and organizations that have shown their support through the years.  A group of students and parents stopped in to say “thank you” in person.  Brad Nadolson, President, and Julie Klay, Contract Administrator, accepted the poinsettia and words of appreciation on behalf of the company.

The Words ‘Thank You’ Seem Insufficient…
