Earthwork Development
Our earthwork services handle commercial site development from small parking lots to 40-acre projects. Using GPS positioning and 3D modeling technology, we ensure precise grading and efficient project completion. Our experienced team manages all aspects of site preparation for construction projects.
Hydro-Excavation
We offer hydro-excavation services for utility potholing and sewer pipe cleaning. Our equipment removes manhole sediment and cleans hundreds of feet of pipe at once. This non-destructive method provides safe excavation solutions for utility projects.
Demolition Services
Specializing in demolition since 1985, we handle bridges, houses, and commercial structures. Our experienced team ensures safe and efficient demolition with proper waste management. We maintain necessary licenses and safety certifications for all demolition projects.
Utility Installation
We install and maintain water and sewer systems with certified pipe-layers. Our services include culvert lining solutions for problem pipes. We're licensed for utility work in both Wisconsin and Minnesota with specialized equipment.
Material Supply
As a materials supplier, we provide aggregates for construction projects. Operating a sand pit in Superior and quarry in South Range, we offer mobile screening services. Our delivery capabilities support projects of all sizes across the region.
