Our broad client base includes governmental agencies, major oil companies, defense contractors, environmental consultants and remedial contractors.
Formed in the early 1960's, the Excavation and Grading Division was formed as a compliment to the Paving Division. The first major project came in 1983 when the Carlin Gold Mining Company contracted with Las Vegas Paving to divert James Creek and construct the Carlin Dam. Final construction of the dam resulted in the placement and compaction of three million cubic yards of material. Over the years we have witnessed the excavation and grading division grow and develop to lead the company in construction revenues and profitability.
