THE STORY: Kent Ormondroyd’s motto has always been: “The road to success is always under construction.” He has lived that mantra for the last 41 years as CEO and president of Scituate-based K.O. Steel Construction Inc., a family-owned job shop that produces custom-finished products for the construction industry.
› The heating, ventilation and air conditioning roof screens atop the Providence Journal building on Westminster Street in Providence are made of steel, with a hot-dip galvanizing coating on them, and cost $42,000 to install them.
› Fabrication on the roof screen took one month to complete and one week to install.
› Commercial and industrial businesses use the screens to help beautify their buildings and hide exterior mechanical units.
COVID-PROOF: Work on the roof screens has been unimpacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
