Ranger Construction added
to its long list of satisfied retail and school paving customers
with two recent projects in the northeast section of its market
area.
With its Debary plant supplying the hot-mix asphalt, Ranger’s
North Division provided cost-effective paving services for The
Pavilion at Port Orange, a new 550,000-sq.-ft., open-air
shopping destination located just off I-95 a few miles south of
Daytona Beach, FL.
Ranger paved all parking areas, entranceways and turning lanes
as a valued subcontractor to WestWind Contracting.
The Debary plant also supplied asphalt for a school paving
project at Seminole Community College in Sanford, about halfway
between Orlando and Daytona. Working with site developer
Cathcart Contracting, Ranger applied its paving expertise for a
1,400-space parking lot and entrance road, working within a
tight schedule due to class starting dates.
Both projects included the final touches, such as pavement
markings.

Crews
Making Gold Star Progress On Silver Star Road
(3rd Quarter 2009)
Ranger Construction’s
efficient progress on a SR-438 resurfacing project in Orange
County, FL, started with the very first stage — moving equipment
onto the job site. That’s because crews had just finished the
same type of job, on the same roadway, only a few miles to the
west.
The North Division is milling and resurfacing 2.5 miles of the
east-west route, also known as Silver Star Road, under a $2.3
million agreement with Florida’s DOT. The contract includes
curbs, gutters, sidewalks, traffic signals and drainage work —
including jack-and-bore installation of a 30" steel drainage
casing to cross deeply beneath the road. The schedule allows 160
days for completion.
Crews recently performed the same scope of work, minus the
jack-and-bore details, on a two-mile section just down the road
under a separate 80-day, $737,000 contract.
Ranger’s nearby Winter Garden asphalt plant was the convenient
supply choice for both projects.
The plant’s also the supplier for two projects in Polk County.
At the Winter Haven Airport, Ranger landed a contract to mill
and resurface Runway 4-22. Funding for the $1.6 million project
comes mostly from a Federal Aviation Administration grant, with
the city and state chipping in as well.
The contract includes corrections to the cross slope and allows
120 days for completion, after which the strip will be
redesignated Runway 5-23 to more closely match its actual
compass points, airport officials said.
Also in Winter Haven, Ranger recently milled and resurfaced part
of SR-542 in a contract with the DOT valued at $556,000. .
