As a licensed Class A General Engineering Contractor in California, our infrastructure work is focused exclusively in the public right of way. We perform street improvement scopes such as sidewalk construction, curb and gutter, Edison trenching, sewer laterals, water mains, and full street restoration. Our team works closely with municipalities, inspectors, and utility providers to ensure compliance, safety, and timely delivery of all civil scopes. We do not perform Class B work or residential utilities within private lots.
