Services
Heavy Civil Construction
We execute large-scale infrastructure projects including roadway construction, DOT-qualified highways, and regional transmission mains. Our capabilities extend to 72" diameter pipelines and $20 million+ projects like the Peace River 42" regional transmission main. With specialized equipment and $150 million bonding capacity, we handle complex civil works from initial design through completion.
Water Treatment Facilities
Our expertise covers complete water/wastewater treatment facility construction including reverse osmosis plants and 52 MGD pump stations. We handle both new construction and facility rehabilitation, incorporating advanced systems like hydrogen sulfide removal and sodium hypochlorite generation. Recent projects include the Southeast WRF Lake Filtration System replacement and Alafia River Intake Station upgrades.
Design-Build Projects
We deliver integrated Design-Build solutions combining engineering and construction under one contract. This approach streamlines project timelines while maintaining quality control. Our team manages all phases from permitting through construction, as demonstrated in the award-winning Dale Mabry Diversion Force Main project completed $25.4 million.
Underground Utility Installation
We install water, sewer, and reclaimed water pipelines ranging from 4" residential lines to 84" trunk systems. Our HDD capabilities handle challenging terrain while maintaining roadway integrity. Recent projects include 30" PVC force mains in Lakeland and 42" steel transmission mains for regional water authorities.
Stormwater Systems
We construct comprehensive stormwater management systems including collection networks, detention basins, and flood control infrastructure. Our work integrates with roadway projects to ensure proper drainage, as seen in the North Palm River water expansion project that included 45,000' of new water main installation with minimal traffic disruption.
