What We Build
Active Construction self-performs underground utilities, site preparation, road construction, wetland mitigation, project management and site remediation services. Here is the work we put in the ground.
City streets, arterials, roundabouts, and complete-streets buildouts — HMA paving, grind-and-overlay, curb/gutter/sidewalk, ADA ramps, bike lanes, illumination, traffic signals, retaining walls, guardrail, and channelization across Pierce, King, Thurston, Kitsap, and beyond.
Residential plats (27- to 174-lot), commercial site work, mass excavation, clearing/grubbing, structural fill, retaining walls, parking lots, demolition, TESC/SWPPP, and full underground utility installation for private developers, school districts, and public agencies.
Fish-barrier removal, culvert replacement (CMP to box culvert), engineered log jams, levee setbacks/revetments, stream bypass and channel realignment, floodplain excavation, riparian habitat planting, and wetland creation — primarily for counties, WSDOT, and conservation districts.
Standalone wet-utility projects — water mains (4-inch through 12-inch+), sanitary sewer, force mains, storm conveyance, detention/retention systems, and culvert replacements. Often a secondary scope on roadway and site-development jobs; primary on dedicated utility extensions and upgrades.
Paved multi-use trails, picnic and pedestrian shelters, sport courts, bicycle pump tracks, community gardens, off-leash dog areas, site furnishings, fencing, irrigation, riparian planting, and environmental remediation/open-space restoration at state and county parks.
Rapid-response mobilization for infrastructure failures and disaster repair — road-slump reconstruction, bridge scour repair, stream diversion, and temporary BMPs on compressed timelines.
One contract. One team. One point of accountability.

From the Field
Stay up-to-date on the latest Newsletters, events and announcements.
ACI participated in Touch-A-Truck with the Peter G. Schmidt Elementary PTA and the City of Tumwater. There were an estimated 300+ kids that came through the event that were able to be on the excavator and ask ACI volunteers questions. Very fun event and ACI is always glad to be a community partner.
ACI was recently featured in a Seattle Times article from local City of Bellevue residents that wish to acknowledge our crew’s work.
This was a challenging project with many changes to navigate but Brett and Tyler did an excellent job staying in constant communication with local residents, maintaining excellent housekeeping and pushing the project towards a successful completion. A lot of the time contractors receive bad reviews and communication regarding disruption of traffic, so it’s always nice to hear good things from the public.
Hats off to Brett and Tyler for their hard work!
You can reference the Seattle times article linked in this announcement.
What a night at the ballpark! We are beyond thrilled to announce that ACI ranked #5 at the Puget Sound Business Journal Best Workplaces of Washington awards last night at T-Mobile Park! Our ranking was determined based on the results of an anonymous employee survey.
To our incredible team: this honor belongs to all of you. Your hard work, energy, and dedication make ACI an amazing place to grow every single day. Thank you for showing up and shining bright!
