Mass excavation
Earthwork at scale
Cut and fill, overexcavation, deep ripping, rock breaking, import and export. Scraper spreads for volume, excavators for precision.
General Engineering Contractor · Est. 1984
We move the dirt everything else stands on.
Excavation, grading, utilities and paving — self-performed with our own crews, our own 142 machines, and our own lowbeds.

Why self-perform matters
We own the iron, so the schedule is ours to keep.
Do you want a contractor with strong resources that self-performs, or one who has to rent everything whenever it becomes available from a rental company?
— Pokrajac CorporationWhen a client hit a permit conflict that threatened their start date, we mobilized inside 24 hours — because the machines and the lowbed service were already ours. A rental queue cannot do that.
It also means we put the right machine on the problem instead of the available one. On a Riverside job we deep-ripped bedrock with large track dozers rather than drilling and blasting, keeping crews working alongside a standing tilt-up and saving the client weeks.
The crew
Every morning starts the same way.
Tailgate meeting, hazards on the table, then work. Safety has been our first concern for our employees and our customers since 1984 — and it is the reason clients let us work beside live operations.
What we do
One contractor, the whole dirt package.
From the first cut to finished subgrade and paving — with the utilities in between, so there is no gap between trades to argue over.
Finish grading
Grade you can build on
Building pads, subgrade and finish grade held to the tolerances your structural and civil drawings call for.
Underground utilities
Wet and dry systems
Storm drain, sewer, water and dry utility trenching — installed by the same crews that graded the site.
Paving
Base and asphalt
Aggregate base, asphalt and site concrete — parking fields, drive aisles, streets and off-load facilities.
Site structures
Walls and drainage
Rockery and retaining walls, rip rap, channels and cast-in-place storm drain extensions.
Site preparation
Clearing and demolition
Demolition, clearing and grubbing, erosion control and SWPPP compliance from mobilization through close-out.
Equipment
Whatever the job calls for is already in the yard.
Scrapers, dozers, excavators, loaders, graders and water trucks, plus the lowbeds to move them. When a job needs a particular machine, it comes off our own yard the week it is needed.
