From a Hand-Drawn Logo to a Culture of Safety
From a hand-drawn logo in 1984 to a national leader, Bob Clark reflects on Clayco’s growth, safety-first culture, and the values that built a lasting company.

One of Clayco’s iconic cranes just went up at one of our project building sites, and every time it happens, I think it’s a reason to celebrate. To me, our cranes represent a lot of the hard work, determination, and bold commitment to progress that we bring to everything we build. They also represent who we are as a company and the spirit of innovation that always drives us to do our best work.
These photos show the new crane that’s going to help us complete The Standard at Columbia, which will become a 17-story student housing tower in Columbia, South Carolina. They showcase some of the stunning views that residents will get to experience firsthand once it’s finished in Fall 2023. I always love seeing the progress our teams are making on the ground, but it never ceases to amaze me how much you can really take in from above.
I can’t wait to see where our cranes will go up next!
