Differentiators
The (not so) secret sauce that sets our services apart
What sets ESS operations apart from our competitors isn’t any one thing — it’s the combination of multiple factors working together. It doesn’t happen by accident, and few can pull it off quite like we can.
-
Specialized Expertise
Every ESS employee-owner has a bit of the “jack-of-all-trades” mentality in them, but what makes our operations shine is that every individual on our team is a master of their trade.
-
Shared Resources
Our operations don’t work in silos. Instead, they share resources like equipment, information, and ideas. This gives ESS the ability to be responsive and precise, and most importantly, provide exceptional value to our customers.
-
Permanent Operations
We’re not some fly-by-night outfit that’s here today, gone tomorrow. ESS maintains permanent facilities, offices, and crews operating year-round in the areas we work.
-
In-House Manufacturing & Testing
By vertically integrating our operations to include material manufacturing (concrete, asphalt, and aggregates) as well as testing, we save our customers money and time that would normally go to middlemen.
-
Experience
Simply put, we’ve been doing this a long time, and so have the majority of our employee-owners. We’ve seen just about everything and overcome more challenges than most of our competitors, giving us the leg up any day of the week.
Partner Testimonials
The I-70 and I-435 project required the conversion of a cloverleaf and flyover interchange into the first partial turbine interchange in the Kansas City area. In order to do this, ESS built 11 new bridges in a heavily traveled corridor with great effectiveness, quality, and safety in mind first.
Resident Engineer, MoDOT
I was impressed with how much the highway was improved by the diamond grinding and the quality of concrete replacement. ArDOT has received very positive feedback from the traveling public and was very happy with the results produced here.
