Barnard Construction

Barnard Construction Company really does give a dam about the quality of its work. The heavy civil contractor specializes in building and improving dams, tunnels, oil and gas pipelines, and water and sewer lines across the nation. It has been ranked as the top US contractor in dam construction and is also ranked among the leading contractors for other types of projects -- transmission lines and aqueducts, water supply facilities, oil and gas pipelines, and air pollution control facilities. CEO and owner Tim Barnard founded the firm in 1975; other units, including Barcon, Barnard Environmental, and Barnard Pipeline, were formed to support Barnard Construction Company's primary operations.
