A construction partnership
like no other

In an effort to continuously improve our services, Ballard entered into a strategic partnership in 2017 with the Traylor Construction Group, a financially strong entity comprised of a family of companies offering a complete solution to our clients. With this partnership, we offer our clients heavy civil, underground/tunneling, precast concrete manufacturing, steel erection, commercial electrical/SCADA, mechanical, and fabrication, in addition to marine and underwater solutions and services. This partnership has also expanded Ballard’s access to equipment and fleet to perform projects nationwide.
