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: experienced operator for hydraulic shear, rotating grapple and scrap magnet work, 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 core spread (track hoe, dozer, skid steer, dump truck) and holds a CDL; no waiting on third-party haulers to mobilize.
  • Experienced operator on specialty attachments most local contractors do not run: hydraulic shear, rotating grapple, hydraulic breaker, scrap magnet, forestry mulching head, auger and compaction wheel. Attachments sourced per job and mobilized with our excavator; 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.

Representative work

  • Lot clearing, building pads and final grade for residential builders and property owners in Whitfield, Murray and Catoosa counties
  • Septic system installations and repairs, permitted and inspected through the county environmental health office
  • Driveways, gravel roads and equipment pads with engineered base and drainage
  • Ditching, culvert replacement and drainage correction on farms and rural properties
  • Demolition and haul-off of small structures, slabs and pavement
