Aside from human innovation and imagination, one major factor that drives construction is the use and implementation of new technologies and new techniques to get the job done. If it weren’t for new innovations spilling into the construction industry, we’d likely still be digging trenches with shovels and limited to building one-story structures. Over the […]
Imagine going to work and knowing that a gust of wind could end your life. This was the reality for many of the workers—affectionately called bridgemen—on one of America’s most famous landmarks. Working so high up without safety nets and standardized safety precautions meant that an increase in wind speed could have catastrophic consequences. Life […]
Earlier this year, Constructors, Inc was helping pave a terminal for a nearby airport in our home state of New Mexico. Frankly, most people might not know that there is, in fact, an airport in little Hobbs, New Mexico. But there is! And we were out there laying down some quality pavement to facilitate the […]
From one day to the next, life, as we had previously known it, changed dramatically. People living in the Spring of 2020 will forever remember how their lives came to a halt and a strange reality took over the news cycle. At the time of this writing, the lockdown is still very much in place […]

Even the greatest builders can use a little help from their friends. Construction wouldn’t be possible without the right equipment.

Time and technology have […]
Many people consider the asphalt on roads as concrete or simply as “gravel”, but some of the roads we find ourselves coming across are made with flex base to preserve its life and foundation. Flex base has its specific name for a reason: it is a flexible course material used for temporary roadways and driveways. […]
Any project, from pavement to large building projects, need to have a good foundation to have the most safety and longevity. People often think this strong foundation starts with the materials and structures that make up the bottom of the structure, but the true foundation is the soil below. Many projects are not built on […]
If you’ve ever driven across this great nation, you have seen them on the side of the road.
