The  Schottland YMCA in Pittsford, NY had it’s formal ribbon cutting yesterday which marked our final completion of our largest project to date. “I am so proud of ALL of our employees for an amazing amount of teamwork that went into this project.

They moved locations as they grew and bought a building and yard in Bloomfield, NY in 1998.  Rochester Rigging & Erectors, Inc. is now proud to employ over 20 full time staff and seasonally have more than 40 employees on the payroll. Many employees have have been with the company for more than 20 years! “Today we celebrate our company’s success and salute our employees who work hard every day to provide a quality product for our customers”, remarks Kelly Gilligan, President.

Rochester Rigging & Erectors, Inc. is  proud to announce today that our Project Manager, Dave Prest was nominated by The Pike Company for the Rochester Builders Exchange Craftsmanship and Lifetime Achievement Award for 2018.   The award honors his skill, integrity and responsibility in project management.  This award is given out every five years by the Rochester Builders Exchange. To win a craftsmanship award, projects must be of the highest level and demonstrate challenges that were overcome during construction.  The project that was reviewed was the Genesee Hall at the University of Rochester. This 72,000 sf residence hall was fabricated and erected by Rochester Rigging in the winter of 2016 with completion of the miscellaneous metals in the fall of 2017. The notable challenges were the extremely tight project site and the use of a licensed fabrication and erection method called SidePlate.  This method accelerated the schedule by three weeks for The Pike Company.  The awards dinner will take place on Saturday, March 24th at Locust Hill County Club.  

Rochester Rigging & Erectors, Inc. ranked 29 in the Rochester Business Journal,  “Woman-Owned Businesses” list for 2018.  “Being ranked 29th of the 50 local businesses listed is quite an award”,  says Kelly Gilligan, President.

Rochester Rigging & Erectors, Inc. is proud to announce that it has made a $1,000.00 donation to CHARITY WATER in honor of all our employees. In many countries around the world, women and girls put their lives in danger every day to collect water for their families. Many wake up before sunrise and spend up to four hours walking.  And, often, the water they bring home isn’t even clean. Having access to clean water within the community not only saves hours of time, it provides safety, health and hygiene. It directly impacts the future of all people, and we believe it’s the first step out of poverty for rural communities all over the world. GIVE CLEAN WATER!
