Happy Construction Safety Week!

General Excavating is proud of our employees and the shared commitment they make to keeping every jobsite safe. Through ongoing education and continuous training, we keep safety top of mind and strengthen our ability to prevent serious injuries and fatalities. It shows up in our culture, toolbox talks, hands-on training, and is reflected by our Experience Modification Rating of 0.51.

While we celebrate Construction Safety Week, safety is something we practice every day on every jobsite.

Above all, our priority is ensuring every employee returns home safely, every day.

Did you know, General Excavating has a Natural Gas Distribution Department?

Our gas crews are currently replacing more than 2,500 LF of 3” and 3,000+ LF of 6” natural gas main using directional drilling beneath the streets of Wahoo, Nebraska. This trenchless construction approach helps minimize disruption, while safely upgrading critical infrastructure for the community.

Our bridge crews are hard at work on two new bridges located off I-29 in Tea, South Dakota. From start to finish, the project involves steel H-pile installation, concrete substructures, steel girders, concrete bridge deck, and approach slabs. The bridge structure located at 85th Street will be a new diverging diamond interchange, only the 5th of its kind in the state of South Dakota.

Projects like this are made possible by the knowledge, skill, and dedication our employees bring to the job every day. Their experience and attention to detail is what makes all the difference in maintaining the highest standards of safety and craftsmanship. We’re proud of our crews and look forward to seeing this project come to life as construction progresses!
