We’ve executed some of the largest flood control, coastal resiliency, wetland, and water quality and supply initiatives in the country.
Our organization was established with the mission of safeguarding coastal and inland communities from the severe impacts of major weather events. Acknowledging the urgent need for infrastructure enhancements in flood-prone regions, we came together in 2008 to address this critical concern.
Since our inception, we have successfully implemented some of the nation’s most significant initiatives in flood control, coastal resilience, wetland restoration, and water quality and supply management. Our extensive expertise encompasses levees, dams, channels, ponds, wetlands, and coastal environments. By leveraging our geotechnical and specialty civil construction knowledge, we provide a diverse range of water management solutions, contributing to a sustainable future for generations to come.
Levee and Dam Construction
In response to the pressing need to safeguard individuals and community assets within floodplain areas, our team has proactively collaborated with both Federal and State Government entities to enhance and repair our aging levee systems. This commitment has established us as a recognized leader in the field of slurry wall construction, prompting significant growth in our specialized equipment fleet and resources.
In 2020, we welcomed Inquip Associates, Inc. into our organization. As one of the oldest geotechnical firms in the nation, Inquip has a rich history, having pioneered the slurry trenching method of construction in the 1950s. Their contributions include significant involvement in the Los Angeles Port Authority’s Terminal Island Project, which marked the world’s first industrial application of the bentonite slurry trenching method of excavation.Today, we take pride in being among the most knowledgeable and experienced self-performing levee infrastructure contractors in the United States. Our expertise encompasses various slurry mix designs, effective delivery methods, and a keen awareness of environmental and community sensitivities, positioning us as a reliable partner for executing critical levee infrastructure projects.
Our diverse experience ranges from constructing new levees to enhance water overflow storage capacity to conducting emergency erosion repairs on aging or compromised structures. As communities grapple with escalating climate challenges, we stand poised to provide essential flood control infrastructure to safeguard coastal populations, vital assets, and business operations.

Waterways and Channel Construction
Waterways and channels are essential components in initiatives pertaining to water quality and supply, as they facilitate the secure passage of vessels and equipment critical to our economy. We employ an array of construction methodologies to effectively execute projects related to the expansion and enhancement of waterways and channels, including mechanical dredging, blasting, and various specialized geotechnical techniques.
Our extensive experience encompasses a diverse range of geological conditions, enabling us to devise solutions specifically tailored to the unique characteristics of each project. We possess the requisite equipment and personnel to navigate subsurface obstructions safely and efficiently, thereby supporting the successful execution of waterway and channel construction endeavors. Renowned for our real-time innovation and problem-solving capabilities in the field, we adeptly address unforeseen challenges, ensuring that projects remain on schedule for timely completion.
Featured Project Experience
Reservoir Construction
Reservoirs and ponds are essential components of water supply initiatives throughout the country. They serve crucial functions, such as alleviating water shortages in regions experiencing rapid population growth, ensuring additional water resources in drought-prone areas, and providing enhanced flood protection in low-lying regions. Public and private stakeholders rely on our expertise to facilitate the construction of these vital infrastructures.
Both ponds and reservoirs necessitate future-proof water control measures, which positions us as a comprehensive solution provider for our clients’ needs. With extensive experience in delivering a variety of cutoff wall technologies, we engage collaboratively with clients to identify the most suitable, effective, and cost-efficient strategies for their projects. Our successful execution of projects across diverse geological conditions has equipped us to deploy the appropriate equipment, personnel resources, and technology, ultimately yielding superior value.
In many instances, we provide groundwater control solutions for mining clients that minimize dewatering during mining operations. Upon the completion of these operations, the implemented barriers serve as permanent groundwater cutoffs, facilitating reclamation efforts and allowing for future utilization as water storage. These structures are designed from the onset to adhere to rigorous groundwater control guidelines.
Featured Project Experience
Wetlands Restoration & Coastal Resiliency
Wetlands play an essential role in maintaining a balanced ecosystem. Our organization is dedicated to making a meaningful impact by restoring and creating new wetland habitats that enhance the resilience of communities. Resiliency measures are paramount for coastal communities, and numerous projects are executed with comprehensive solutions in mind. Both the natural and built environments play essential roles in safeguarding these coastal areas and their assets while enabling prompt and effective recovery following significant disasters. Our initiatives to restore tidal wetlands, implement levee setback projects for enhanced flood mitigation, and repair aging flood control infrastructure contribute to reestablishing this natural equilibrium, thereby reducing the impacts of severe weather events.
We utilize our specialized civil and environmental expertise to advance wetland initiatives, whether as part of comprehensive flood control strategies, efforts to restore lost habitats for diverse flora and fauna, or to develop additional recreational opportunities. As responsible stewards of the environment, we engage closely with governmental bodies, private organizations, and conservation professionals to execute these projects with minimal impact on the surrounding environment, wildlife, and local communities.
Our contributions span from coast to coast, supporting some of the nation’s most critical and visible wetland restoration projects. In the Florida Everglades, our initiatives include water quality restoration through channel widening in agricultural zones and significant contributions to the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan. On the West Coast, our efforts focus on the restoration and development of wetlands that provide recreational spaces for community members and environmental enthusiasts.
