Services
Earthwork
Our earthwork services include excavation, demolition, grading, and landfill construction. We utilize advanced surveying technology and a large equipment fleet to handle projects from small sites to 2 million cubic yard moves. Our team ensures accurate material calculations and cost savings through efficient logistics and fly-ash stabilization techniques.
Utilities
We install and repair water, sewer, and industrial utility systems using trenchless and open-cut methods. Our expertise covers stormwater management, large-diameter piping, and hydropower infrastructure. With state-of-the-art equipment, we complete complex underground projects safely and efficiently for municipalities and private clients.
Trenchless Technology
Our trenchless solutions include CIPP lining, pipe bursting, and hydro excavation. These methods repair aging infrastructure with minimal disruption to landscapes and traffic. We handle projects like the Middle Blue River Sewer Rehabilitation, replacing miles of pipe without traditional excavation while maintaining system functionality.
Hydro Excavation
Using high-pressure water and vacuum systems, we safely expose underground utilities in congested or sensitive areas. This method reduces damage risks and restoration costs while enabling precise excavations in frozen ground or hard-to-reach locations across Kansas City's diverse terrain.
Structural Concrete
We construct industrial foundations, utility structures, and plant alterations using mass and structural concrete. Our crews handle tight-space modifications and large-scale projects like power plant foundations, ensuring durability and compliance with exacting engineering specifications through advanced formwork and placement techniques.
