Whitaker Construction

Founded in 1953, we have been in the underground utility construction industry for over 65 years. We perform all types of sanitary sewer, natural gas, irrigation, industrial piping, utility tunnels, culinary water, pump stations, earthwork, aggregates, structural concrete, dewatering, and a variety of trenchless work. Many of our projects involve specialized construction equipment and methods to complete. By living our core values: Valuing Safety, Embracing Ownership, Elevating Team, and Being Honorable, we have earned an excellent reputation in the construction industry for completing some of the most challenging projects in our region.

Our story began in 1953 when Jim Whitaker decided to get out of the sand and gravel business and start a utility construction company with a pickup truck, a shovel, and one helper. Now his company has become one of the most respected contractors in the intermountain area with more than 400 employees and nearly 50 crews. We perform sanitary sewer, storm drain, culinary water, irrigation, earthwork, roadway construction, dams, landfills, natural gas pipelines, industrial piping, and telecommunications projects primarily in Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming, Colorado, and Oregon.
