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.

The sunshine is definitely out, especially for, Richard V. who was celebrated for achieving Journeyman! He was presented with a gift basket from the team, and we were able to give him a well-deserved pat on the back. Please help us congratulate our newest Journeyman Laborer!
Today marks Active Construction Inc.’s first in-water workday on the Skokomish RM 6.5 Habitat Restoration Project in Mason County.
Working with Mason Conservation District and the project partners, our team is helping restore a segment of the lower Skokomish River. The completed project will include engineered log jams and restored side-channel habitat designed to improve river and floodplain connectivity, create pools and complex habitat, and support the recovery of Puget Sound salmon.
Projects like this require careful planning, environmental coordination, skilled operators, laborers, truck drivers, supervisors, subcontractors, and support staff working together under demanding conditions.
A big thank-you to the entire ACI team for the long days and hard work that got us to this important milestone. We are proud to help deliver a project that will provide lasting benefits to the Skokomish River and the surrounding community.
Great work, team—let’s have a safe and successful in-water season!
