Core competencies
- Site preparation, clearing and grubbing, mass and fine grading, compaction
- Utility trenching and installation: water, sanitary sewer, storm drain, gas, electrical and communications conduit
- Septic systems: new installations, repairs and replacements by a Georgia certified installer
- Drainage: ditching, culverts, headwalls, catch basins, French drains, rip-rap and erosion control
- Land clearing and demolition of structures, slabs and pavement, with hauling and disposal
- Derailment response: hydraulic shear and operator for cutting and sizing railcars and heavy scrap on site; excavator, dozer and dump truck for right-of-way clearing, crane pads and access roads
- Building pads, equipment pads, gravel access and haul roads
- Hauling of dirt, aggregate and spoil with a CDL driver on staff
- Emergency derailment, drainage, washout and storm response work, any hour
Differentiators
- Owner-led. The owner prices the work, is on site every day and is accountable for the result; crew and trucking scale to the job.
- Right-sized for task-order and unit-price work that larger contractors turn down, with the equipment and crew to carry full site packages as prime or site subcontractor.
- Vendor packets, W-9s and certificates of insurance returned the same business day.
- Owns the full spread (track hoe, dozer, skid steer, dump truck, hydraulic shear) and holds a CDL; no waiting on rentals or third-party haulers to mobilize.
- Hydraulic mobile shear with an experienced operator, a capability most local contractors do not have, available around the clock to railroad contractors for derailment cleanup and railcar scrapping.
- Georgia certified septic installer: site work, utilities and septic under one contract for builders and property owners; concrete and specialty utility partners brought in under the same contract when the scope calls for it.
- More than 20 years of operating experience; Georgia 811 locates and proper sloping and shoring on every excavation.
- Based on the Georgia–Tennessee line with a 75-mile working radius covering Dalton, Chattanooga, Rome, Calhoun and Cleveland.
