This project team removed approximately 2,000 tons of existing cement mortar lining and applied polyurethane lining inside a 12-foot-diameter underground steel pipeline for approximately 12,500 feet. Construction also included providing access points into the pipe. The pipeline work had to be performed during a shutdown which required 24-hour-per-day work schedules.
Colorado River Aqueduct (CRA) Erosion Protection Curbing
Twentynine Palms, California
In order to allow the Colorado River Aqueduct to flow safely when it’s full, this project installed approximately 28 miles of new concrete curbing and demolished and replaced 9,100 square feet of concrete canal panels.

Scope included site improvements like paving, lighting and landscaping.
Deer Valley water treatment plant
Rutherford Solar project
Deer Valley Water Treatment Plant Reservoir Replacement
Phoenix, Arizona
The first component of this project was to demolish an existing 20-million-gallon reservoir. Crews then completed mass excavation and backfill before building a new 20-million-gallon concrete, cast-in-place reservoir. Construction of the new reservoir included installing chemical feed piping, large-diameter concrete piping, level sensors, transmitters, security measures, and associated conduits and control wiring. The new facility has an expected life-span of 60 years or more.

The Bentway
DO Space
Children's Hospital ASC
Blue Barn Theatre
The Bentway
Toronto, Ontario
In the heart of downtown Toronto, Ontario, the Bentway Project is re-inventing unused urban space beneath a raised expressway, and creating a diverse, multi-functional, public area. The focal point of the development is an outdoor ice rink, complete with ice-making facilities, ice-resurfacing equipment and a garage. A terraced pier made of natural materials with stages and bleacher seating will be surrounded by green space and gardens, all designed to transform the vacant and forgotten area into a year-round gathering place.
DO Space
Omaha, Nebraska
Do Space is the first digital library of its kind in the U.S. It’s an ultra-modern digital incubator that includes a community technology library, a digital workshop and an innovative playground filled with opportunities to learn, grow, explore and create. The scope of the project included incorporating over $3 million of cutting-edge technology into a relatively small building, including hundreds of computers, iPads, TVs, digital signage, gaming systems, servers, wireless systems and other audio/visual components. The re-construction was completed in 10 months.
Children’s Hospital & Medical Center Village Pointe – Children’s ASC
Omaha, Nebraska
This interior fit-out project created an outpatient surgical center in an existing multi-tenant medical building. The 13,160-square-foot outpatient surgical center houses three operating rooms, eighteen post-operative patient recovery rooms, two locker rooms, two nurses stations, a reception area and other work spaces, and can accommodate another future operating room. The project was completed in seven months.
Bluebarn Theatre
Omaha, Nebraska
The 96-person seating capacity in BLUEBARN Theatre’s new 12,700-square-foot facility is comparable to its old one to maintain an intimate feel. Improvements to the scene shop, dressing rooms, sound control and electrical systems, as well as 16-foot ceilings and a larger stage are just some of the upgrades in the new theatre. Recycled and handmade interior materials are a focal point, including naturally rusted sheet metal, thousands of pieces of recycled wood, and reclaimed granite and stage flooring. A covered outdoor space opens up new options for alternative programming.
