DeKalb Pipeline Company, established in 1960 and headquartered in Conyers, Georgia, has been a pivotal player in building infrastructure throughout the Atlanta metropolitan area. Founded by James King Sr. and Frank Stokes, the company began its journey with just a single tractor and pickup truck, driven by a commitment to deliver more than just financial gains. As a company rooted in strong work ethics, DeKalb Pipeline has consistently focused on enhancing the lives of its employees and the communities it serves.
Initially concentrated on municipal utility infrastructure, DeKalb Pipeline embraced innovation early on by adopting precast concrete technology for manhole construction, a revolutionary change for the region. Over the decades, the company navigated various economic landscapes, including a strategic pivot towards residential projects during Atlanta’s expansion in the 70s and 80s. This period saw the company collaborate with notable developers and saw its reputation for delivering timely, budget-conscious results solidify.
As the 90s transitioned into the early 2000s, the demand for development soared, leading DeKalb Pipeline to manage extensive subdivision projects that often spanned over a decade. However, the company displayed resilience during the Great Recession, redirecting its focus towards water transfer services, extending its operations to various sectors, including the mining industry across the Southeast.
Returning to its roots, DeKalb Pipeline is now fully engaged with large, complex site work projects in Metro Atlanta. The company boasts a team with extensive industry experience, fostering a commitment to safety and excellence. More than just a construction company, DeKalb Pipeline prides itself on its ethical practices and its mission to enhance community lives, leaving a lasting legacy in Atlanta's infrastructure development.
