Heavy Highway Construction
We specialize in constructing and rehabilitating major highway systems with complex logistical requirements. Our team delivers full-depth pavement reconstruction, interchange improvements, and safety enhancements while maintaining traffic flow. With advanced equipment and experienced crews, we complete projects like the Kew Gardens Interchange and Route 218 Rehabilitation under tight deadlines and challenging conditions.
Rail Infrastructure
Our rail construction expertise includes track rehabilitation, station improvements, and signal system upgrades across active rail corridors. We completed the Hudson Line Emergency Culvert Replacement in five months under live tracks while maintaining Metro-North operations. Our crews implement specialized safety protocols for work near energized systems and high-traffic rail environments.
Bridge Engineering
We design and build complex bridge structures using innovative engineering solutions for challenging sites. Our projects include replacing the Fulton Avenue Bridge over a live substation yard and constructing new bridges while maintaining rail operations. Our in-house engineers develop customized erection plans for structures requiring specialized lifting techniques and temporary supports.
Marine Construction
We execute marine infrastructure projects including bulkheads, piers, and underwater foundations using specialized equipment and diving operations. Our experience includes constructing waterfront facilities that meet environmental regulations while maintaining structural integrity against water forces. We implement erosion control measures and corrosion-resistant materials for long-term durability.
Design-Build Projects
We provide full-service design-build solutions that streamline project delivery from concept through completion. Our approach combines engineering, procurement, and construction under single responsibility, as demonstrated in the Hunts Point Interstate Access Improvement Project. This method reduces timelines while maintaining quality through coordinated project team collaboration.
