Services
Concrete Paving
Our concrete paving services utilize advanced slip form technology for roadways up to 32 feet wide, including curb and gutter construction. We employ Miller 8800 formless pavers and PowerCurber 7700 equipment to create durable interstate median barriers and bridge railings. This specialized capability has been implemented across Louisiana's highway corridors, delivering precision-engineered pavement solutions that meet strict DOT specifications while maintaining traffic flow during construction.
Utilities Installation
We provide comprehensive municipal utility services including water systems, sanitary sewers, and drainage infrastructure. Our crews handle both new construction and system rehabilitation projects across Southeast Louisiana. Specialized capabilities include lift station installation and complex drainage solutions that integrate with broader infrastructure improvements. These services are often performed as standalone projects or as components of larger civil works, maintaining strict compliance with local and state regulatory requirements.
Heavy Civil Construction
Our heavy civil construction division specializes in roadway enhancements, sewer system upgrades, and drainage infrastructure. We construct reinforced concrete box culverts using both pre-cast and poured-in-place methods, and implement green infrastructure solutions like water gardens. Notable projects include the Washington Pedestrian Bridge at Xavier University, featuring elevator towers and elevated walkways that demonstrate our ability to deliver complex urban connectivity solutions while meeting accessibility standards.
Barrier Installation
We specialize in concrete barrier installation for highway safety applications, including permanent median barriers and bridge rail systems. Our expertise extends to temporary traffic control solutions through our Traffic Commander division, which handles guardrail systems, cable barriers, and signage installation. These services combine safety compliance with rapid deployment capabilities for both permanent infrastructure and construction zone protection requirements.
Drainage Systems
Our drainage system capabilities include comprehensive stormwater management solutions for urban environments. We design and construct retention facilities and water gardens that integrate with roadway and infrastructure projects. These systems address both immediate drainage needs and long-term environmental compliance, incorporating green infrastructure approaches that reduce runoff impact while maintaining functional performance in diverse geographic conditions across Louisiana.

Workers leave trash on property water bottles fast food wrappers in street in front of property. Workers resting on lawn to close to windows had to ask several times not to do so in respect of privacy. One worker responded respectfully while the other saw no problem with standing against my home with muddy boots against my brick walls. I should not have to explain to anyone why this is inappropriate but common sense is common. The supervisors did correct the issue and the command post. The workers need more training on how to deal with home owners who want to ensure that their property is not going
