Our core services and capabilities lend themselves to work in many areas of civil construction, but our knowledge and experience are what differentiate us in a range of markets.

Cross-industry Support

Expertise to meet individual market needs

Our ability to serve multiple markets is rooted in decades of project experience and a deep knowledge of the unique demands of each. No market is exactly alike, and each requires a tailored approach from the contractor. That’s what ESS brings to the table on every project — whether it’s a multi-million dollar highway construction job, site improvements for an existing emergency healthcare facility, or any project between.

Whichever market our projects fall into, ESS leverages our experience and resources to offer the highest level of collaboration to our partners. Our top priority is always to get our clients’ projects out of the ground as quickly and safely as possible — no excuses.

Frequently asked questions

Want to Know More about Markets We serve?

  • Are there any vertical markets ESS does NOT operate within?

    No. For the right client with an opportunity that fits our experience, we will work within any vertical market.

  • Does ESS structure teams to serve specific markets, or share resources?

    ESS clients benefit from our collaborative organizational structure designed for teams — and equipment fleet — to work across disciplines within multiple markets. This means our team members gain the diverse experience required to serve the needs of our owners and bring value to our projects, no matter the market.

  • Does ESS ever work outside the Midwest region?

    The middle-of-the-map may be our stomping grounds, but our operational footprint extends far beyond that. We routinely travel to other regions for our clients. In fact, we have several full-time diamond grinding crews who travel across the country preserving America’s roadways.

  • Is ESS currently seeking to enter any additional markets?

    Because infrastructure is a critical component of any construction project, ESS also serves new, emerging or specialty markets from time to time. A great example of this is renewable energy farms and electric vehicle-related manufacturing.
