Full-Service Site
Development, In-House
Three core divisions plus specialized maintenance and consulting — every phase handled by one team.
Site Development
Complete site preparation and infrastructure — from raw land to build-ready. We handle every phase of groundwork so your project starts on solid footing.
Demolition & Excavation
Complete structural demolition with on-site material processing. We own crushers and screeners to recycle concrete and asphalt as base material — cutting haul-away and new material costs.
Utilities & Storm Drainage
Underground utility installation, storm drainage systems, detention and retention ponds, and complete stormwater management infrastructure.
Water & Sewer Work
Municipal water and sewer connections, line installation, and tie-ins for commercial and multi-residential developments.
Grading & Site Preparation
Precision grading, land clearing, and earthwork to meet engineered specifications. Complete site development from raw land to pad-ready.
Subdivision Development
Full subdivision infrastructure — roads, utilities, grading, and drainage for residential and mixed-use developments.
Concrete
Structural and flatwork concrete for commercial and multi-residential projects — from footings and foundations to finished curbing and ADA ramps.
Foundations & Footings
Commercial foundations, strip footings, and spread footings engineered for structural requirements of retail, storage, and multi-story buildings.
Slabs & Floors
Slab-on-grade, elevated slabs, and warehouse floors. Precision finishing for commercial and industrial applications.
Curbing & Sidewalks
Cast-in-place curbing, concrete sidewalks, and pedestrian pathways for commercial properties and shopping centers.
Parking Lots & Pads
Concrete parking surfaces, equipment pads, dumpster pads, and loading dock areas built to handle commercial traffic loads.
ADA Ramps & Crosswalks
ADA-compliant ramps, detectable warning surfaces, and crosswalk installations meeting current accessibility standards.
Paving
Full-scope asphalt services — from reclamation and milling through paving and final striping. New construction and rehabilitation for commercial properties.
Asphalt Paving
New construction paving for parking lots, access roads, and drive lanes. From 200 tons to 2,000+ tons per project.
Full Depth Reclamation
Pulverizes existing pavement and base, remixes in place, and creates a stabilized base — eliminating full removal and replacement.
Milling & Overlay
Precision milling of existing asphalt surfaces and overlay with new hot-mix asphalt. Restores grade and drainage without full reconstruction.
Seal Coating
Protective seal coating that extends pavement life against Connecticut's freeze-thaw cycles, UV degradation, and chemical exposure.
Pavement Markings & Striping
Parking lot striping, fire lanes, handicap markings, directional arrows, and site signage installation.
Maintenance & Repairs
Proactive maintenance that prevents costly failures. Connecticut's freeze-thaw cycles destroy unprotected infrastructure — simple upkeep prevents expensive full replacements.
Drainage Inspections
Regular inspection of drainage systems to catch failures before they cause surface damage or flooding. Most property owners never maintain these until something breaks.
Catch Basin Cleaning & Repairs
Cleaning, repair, and replacement of deteriorated catch basins. A rotted catch basin can create dangerous sinkholes in parking lots.
Parking Lot Upkeep
Crack sealing, patching, and surface repairs. Water gets into cracks, refreezes, and pulls asphalt apart. Simple maintenance prevents expensive full replacements.
Preventive Infrastructure Maintenance
Scheduled inspection and maintenance programs to protect your site infrastructure investment over time.
Consulting &
Value Engineering
We review drawings and engineering reports before you go to bid — finding scope gaps, inflated costs, and real savings that other contractors miss.
Pre-Bid Drawing Reviews
Review of construction drawings and specs before projects go to bid. Identifies incomplete scope, conflicting details, and areas where costs can be reduced.
Geotechnical Report Analysis
Independent reading and interpretation of geotech and environmental reports. We find the real data that others misread or inflate.
Scope Gap Identification
Finding holes and unanswered questions in incomplete drawing sets. We help developers get from 50% complete plans to 90% before going to bid.
Cost Optimization Strategy
Value engineering that reduces project costs without compromising quality. Recently saved a developer millions on an $8M apartment complex.
Note: ESD does not perform design or engineering services and is not insured for them. Our consulting is limited to reading, interpreting, and advising based on 15+ years of field experience.
