Technology Approach

In Our Hands, They're More Than Just Gadgets

We value technology to the extent that it enables us to better serve our clients. We seek out innovative tools to give our operations every available edge, but it’s how we put them all to use that sets ESS apart from our competitors.

At ESS, we leverage cutting-edge technology and traditional problem-solving to enhance our team’s expertise. Our ability to harness the technologies available throughout our industry is directly tied to our ability to achieve new levels of business and field operations.

Results-driven technology

Keeping up with the Jones’ and then some

These days, construction technologies like AutoCAD and GPS equipment tracking are table stakes for contractors pursuing infrastructure contracts. How we apply and use them is what gives ESS the winning hand.

By using survey and data collection technology, we’ve raised the ante on project planning to new levels. Our investment in new technologies and the results they help produce are measurable in all the ways we track our success.
