Services
Hot Mix Asphalt
Our hot mix asphalt services combine advanced production techniques with expert laydown execution. We produce and place high-quality asphalt mixtures tailored to specific project requirements, ensuring durable road surfaces that withstand extreme weather conditions. With two portable plants and capacity for one million tons annually, we deliver efficient paving solutions for highways, city streets, and airport runways across the upper Midwest.
Milling
We provide precision milling services to restore road surfaces while maintaining structural integrity. Our equipment removes existing asphalt layers to precise depths, preparing optimal surfaces for resurfacing. This process extends pavement life while minimizing material waste, supporting sustainable infrastructure maintenance across North Dakota's transportation network.
Microsurfacing
As North Dakota's first provider of microsurfacing, we offer advanced pavement preservation solutions. This polymer-modified asphalt emulsion treatment seals road surfaces against moisture intrusion while improving skid resistance. Our expertise in this cost-effective technique extends road life cycles and reduces long-term maintenance costs for municipal and state transportation clients.
Urban Development
Our urban development services focus on creating functional, sustainable city infrastructure. We construct and rehabilitate streets, parking lots, and utility corridors with minimal community disruption. By integrating modern design standards with local regulations, we deliver durable urban environments that support economic growth and public safety across North Dakota communities.
Gravel Placement
We provide comprehensive gravel placement services for road construction and maintenance projects. Our process creates stable, well-draining road bases that support asphalt surfaces. Using precision grading equipment, we ensure proper crown formation and drainage characteristics, essential for maintaining road integrity in varying soil and climate conditions across the upper Midwest.
