Services
Concrete Paving
We specialize in durable concrete paving for highways and roadways. Our DOT-compliant solutions reduce long-term maintenance costs through high-quality materials and precise installation techniques. Our team ensures smooth, safe surfaces that withstand heavy traffic and extreme weather conditions.
Concrete Recycling
Our onsite recycling process transforms construction waste into reusable materials. Using compact Cone Crushers and Sievers, we produce recycled aggregates that meet transportation standards. This approach reduces landfill waste by 40% while maintaining structural integrity for new projects.
Sewer Work
We install and maintain underground sewer infrastructure using modern trenching methods. Our solutions prevent water contamination and improve municipal drainage systems. Projects include pipe replacement, manhole construction, and stormwater management for public agencies.
Excavation
Our excavation services prepare job sites for construction projects. We handle earthmoving, grading, and utility trenching with precision equipment. This creates stable foundations for roads, sidewalks, and infrastructure while minimizing environmental disruption.
Structural Concrete
We pour and finish concrete for structural elements in transportation projects. Our work includes bridge components, retaining walls, and support structures. Advanced mix designs ensure strength and longevity for critical infrastructure components.

Report
This company does not keep the community safe during their construction. The seniors and persons with disabilites are endangered due to having to go in the street to get around on Milwaukee. Come and see. This the 3rd year in a row that Milwaukee Avenue has been torn apart?$$$
