Services
Engineering Design/Build
Our engineering design/build service streamlines construction projects by combining design and construction phases. This approach allows work to begin up to 18 months earlier than traditional methods while maintaining cost efficiency. We specialize in municipal infrastructure projects including neighborhood improvements, directional drilling, and pump station installations. Our integrated team of engineers and contractors delivers comprehensive solutions for water and sewer systems, storm drainage, and streetscape development.
Emergency Repairs
We provide rapid emergency repair services for critical infrastructure failures. Our team mobilizes within hours to address water main breaks, sewer collapses, and hurricane damage. With owned equipment fleets and experienced personnel, we handle complex repairs in challenging conditions including underwater crossings and congested urban areas. Our hurricane response capabilities include complete cleanup and restoration services within 6 hours of storm impact.
Trenchless Technologies
Our trenchless technology services minimize surface disruption during underground utility installation. We employ directional drilling and micro-tunneling methods for water and sewer mains, with expertise in diameters ranging from 6 to 72 inches. This technology enables installation beneath roads, waterways, and sensitive environments while maintaining structural integrity and reducing project timelines.
Heavy Construction
We deliver comprehensive heavy construction services for municipal infrastructure projects. Our capabilities include bridge construction, land development, and complete storm sewer systems. We maintain Florida DOT certification for minor bridges, grading, drainage, and flexible paving. Our in-house equipment fleet supports large-scale projects requiring excavation, embankment, and contamination remediation.
Hurricane Clean Up
Our hurricane response service provides immediate cleanup and infrastructure restoration after major storms. We deploy excavators, dump trucks, and specialized equipment to clear debris from streets and alleys within 6 hours of impact. Our experienced crews handle tree removal, utility repairs, and complete infrastructure restoration for municipalities across South Florida.
