About Us

       Our story began in 1953 when Jim Whitaker decided to get out of the sand and gravel business and start a utility construction company with a pickup truck, a shovel, and one helper. Now his company has become one of the most respected contractors in the intermountain area with more than 550 employees and 50 plus crews. We perform sanitary sewer, storm drain, culinary water, irrigation, earthwork, roadway construction, dams, landfills, natural gas pipelines, industrial piping, and telecommunications projects primarily in Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming, Colorado, Oregon and Washington.

​

       By living our core values: Valuing Safety, Embracing Ownership, Being Honorable, and Elevating Team, we have earned an excellent reputation in the construction industry for completing some of the most challenging projects in our region; Safely, On-time and Under Budget.
