Services
Preconstruction Planning
Our preconstruction services identify cost-saving opportunities and design improvements before project start. Using Agtek Earthwork 4D software, we analyze site balance, import/export logistics, and constructability to optimize budgets and schedules. Clients receive free CAD file evaluations and conceptual estimates to ensure efficient project execution.
Project Management
Our project managers use Autodesk ConstructWare and Microsoft Project to maintain schedules despite changing conditions. They coordinate subcontractors, monitor quality standards, and employ real-time technology to anticipate delays. This ensures adherence to safety protocols, budget constraints, and critical path timelines for complex excavation projects.
Automated Grade Control
Trimble Earthworks systems enable real-time GPS and laser-guided grading for accurate earthmoving. This technology reduces material waste and improves productivity by integrating design surfaces directly into equipment controls. Trimble Business Center software ensures seamless data transfer between office and field operations.
Excavating & Utilities
We handle large-scale excavation projects with 85+ annual assignments moving millions of cubic yards. Services include mass grading, foundation work, road construction, and utility installation (water, storm, and sanitary systems). Specialized capabilities extend to 40-foot deep sewer installations and stormwater quality systems.
Safety Programs
Our safety director implements weekly toolbox talks and OSHA-compliant training programs. Foremen hold certifications in confined space safety, CPR, and hazard communication. This proactive approach maintains safe job sites through continual education and adherence to evolving regulatory standards for all excavation activities.
