In heavy civil construction, anyone can move dirt. The difference is what happens when the schedule tightens, conditions change and the project gets difficult.
That is where reputations are built. Bloomsdale Excavating (blex.com) has spent eight decades building theirs.
It began in 1946 when Marvin Drury, a recently discharged veteran of World War II, started excavating gravel from southeast Missouri creeks with a farm tractor and a two-ton dump truck. From those humble beginnings, Bloomsdale has grown into a full-service heavy civil contractor performing excavation and grading, underground utilities, mining services, drilling and blasting, site concrete and demolition throughout the Midwest.
Growth has expanded their reach and capabilities, but scale alone has never defined Bloomsdale. How they operate does.
They believe a contractor should bring more to a project than equipment and manpower. Their job is to understand the project, communicate clearly, identify problems before they become expensive and deliver outcomes.
Today, as a 100% employee-owned company, the responsibility for protecting that reputation belongs to all. Every project carries their name, and every employee-owner has a stake in what comes next.
The equipment has changed. The projects have grown. The geography has expanded.
But the standard remains the same:
Do what they say. Perform. Leave a lasting and positive impression on all involved. For more information, visit blex.com.
