Brief History

 BLD was originally incorporated in 2001 by Mr. Brad L. Dutruch as a full-service municipal and public works construction company. Since that time the company has grown steadily, both internally as well as through acquisitions. Two main acquisitions in 2008 associated with D&O Contractors, Inc. (D&O), a well-established general contractor established in 1975, and the Cured-in-Place-Pipe Lateral Lining Division of Insituform Technologies, Inc (Insituform), have fueled BLD’s growth and expansion.

D&O was a well-established general contractor founded in 1975 that specialized in sewer, water and drainage pump station construction, sewer rehabilitation, general utility construction and services, and disaster recovery. The Insituform acquisition added additional expertise in constructing and rehabilitating water, sewer and other difficult-to-access pipes throughout the world using trenchless technologies to minimize excavation and disruption; this includes semi-trenchless methods of cured-in-place-pipe lining, pipe bursting, micro tunneling and slip lining.

Having acquired the technologies, equipment and personnel of these two companies, BLD significantly expanded the range of services we offer to include all forms of heavy and civil engineering construction for large projects, while also providing a diverse range of specialty services including trenchless rehabilitation of pipes and manholes.
