Services
Industrial Construction
We deliver comprehensive industrial construction solutions from foundation to completion. Our capabilities include structural steel erection, concrete foundations, process equipment installation, and facility expansions. Using owned equipment and skilled labor, we self-perform 80% of work to maintain quality control. Our team specializes in minimizing operational disruptions during construction through strategic planning and phased execution.
Plant Retrofitting
Our retrofitting services modernize existing facilities while maintaining operational continuity. We handle layout reconfigurations, material handling upgrades, and process equipment integration. With experienced craftsmen and specialized equipment, we complete complex modifications safely and efficiently. Our approach combines value engineering with constructability reviews to optimize project outcomes while preserving client production schedules.
Commercial Remodeling
We transform commercial spaces through interior and exterior renovations that enhance functionality and aesthetics. Our services include structural modifications, facade upgrades, and adaptive reuse projects. From schools to retail spaces, we coordinate complete remodels with minimal business disruption. Our team manages all aspects from demolition to finish carpentry, ensuring code compliance and lasting value.
Hydro Excavation
Our hydro excavation services safely expose underground utilities using high-pressure water and vacuum systems. This non-mechanical method prevents damage to buried infrastructure while accelerating project timelines. The dual-function Vactor truck handles both excavation and material cleanup, including bulk powder removal up to 1,000 feet. This approach enhances safety and reduces environmental impact compared to traditional methods.
Design-Build Projects
We offer single-source design-build solutions that streamline project delivery from concept to completion. Our collaborative approach combines architectural vision with construction expertise to create cost-effective, schedule-efficient solutions. By managing both design and construction phases, we ensure alignment between project goals and final execution while maintaining transparent budget control throughout the process.
