Bogner Construction Company has been in business since 1897 and equipment relocation and rigging account for a substantial part of its annual volume. "We enjoy millwrighting," said Bob Bogner, company vice president and head of the millwrighting division. "It is not a sideline for us. We have the experience, the dedication and the equipment to do a first class job for you at a moment's notice with minimal disruption to your work program."

"Pre-planning is the most critical part of the project," said Bogner, "and doing it right can save our clients time and money. We want to work with you to meet your needs," he said. "Sometimes this means working around the clock until the job is done. It always means providing safe, efficient service with a sensitivity for maintaining your ongoing operations."

Bogner Will Be There

Planning is the key to doing a good job for you and Bogner Construction Company does its homework. Adequate planning guarantees that Bogner will be there when the time is right. "Time spent in this kind of planning maximizes your investment," said Bob Bogner. "We look the situation over carefully and come prepared with the right equipment the first time."

Safety First

The Bogner Construction Company has never experienced a lost-time accident when relocating equipment. Twice in the last ten years it has won the coveted safety award of the Ohio Contractor's Association, an organization of 1000 members that represents the cream of the crop within Ohio's construction industry.

Bogner's employees come into your workplace with safety on their minds. They can bring their own safety equipment with them: fire extinguishers, safety signs, barricades, and shielding equipment for any required welding. As an added protection for all concerned, Bogner carries seven million dollars of liability insurance.

Extraordinary Service

"We will be there when you need us," said Bob Bogner. "Call us anytime ... 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for service." The Bogner staff is ready to solve your problems at a moment's notice. The management team, which includes two licensed civil engineers, is ready to provide you with budget estimates and value engineering. Bogner's 108 years of experience allows it to select suppliers and subcontractors who are most reliable and who can be called upon to provide the highest quality of service at the most reasonable cost.

Machinery Foundation Work

Bogner Construction Company has the ability to design and/or build your equipment foundations. The installation pictured at left is a large combination press pit for five underdrive Danley presses. This project involved working in the heart of an existing facility. The pit was 22 feet deep and totally protected by sheet piling. Over 2500 yards of concrete were used in the installation.

During this three-phase project, Bogner completed the foundation, then the presses were stacked so that the superstructure of the building could proceed. While the superstructure was being completed, the presses were aligned and mechanical services were hooked up. The structural steel pit flooring was then completed. This five-month project was delivered to the client three weeks ahead of schedule and on budget.


BOGNER MEETS O.S.H.A. STANDARDS FOR PERSONNEL HOISTING
175' Maximum Lifting Height with 120' Maximum Reach

Bogner Construction Company's 60-ton hydraulic truck crane has been fitted with the required safety equipment to meet OSHA standards for hoisting your personnel. The suspended personnel platforms, which Bogner furnishes as part of its hoisting package, have been manufactured and certified to be in compliance with OSHA standards. Our staff has been trained to complete all personnel hoisting and lifting procedures in strict compliance with the applicable OSHA standards, including crane and lifting equipment inspections, proof testing, trial lifts and pre-lift meetings.

Crane Rental Services

Any of Bogner's cranes are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our equipment, our skilled operators and our safety record are unmatched by any other contractor or crane rental service in the area. Bogner Construction has been awarded the coveted Annual Safety Award of the 1000-member Ohio Contractor's Association twice, the only organization to be so honored. All of our equipment rents by the hour with no daily, weekly or monthly minimum required. Contact our office to schedule either crane or millwright services.

Pre-assembling this 200' long conveyor system before hoisting it into position with three Bogner cranes saved this client time and money.
