White Construction, established in 1947, began as a small family-owned trucking and excavating company. Over the decades, it has transformed into a prominent infrastructure construction contractor, specializing in renewable energy and industrial power sectors. With over 70 years of experience, the company has become a vital player in the heavy civil construction market, focusing on wind and solar energy projects.
Initially, White Construction handled basic earthmoving tasks but gradually expanded its operations to include larger site development projects for major industries. The company evolved significantly under the leadership of Herman White II, transitioning from White Trucking and Excavating to its current name in 1983, reflecting its growing range of services.
The company experienced immense growth, particularly in the renewable energy sector, where it entered the market in 2005. This strategic move led to a remarkable 600% increase in business within just six years. Today, White Construction has successfully installed more than 9,200 MW of renewable energy, contributing to thousands of megawatts of energy generated across the United States.
As a subsidiary of Infrastructure and Energy Alternatives, Inc. (IEA), and part of MasTec's Clean Energy and Infrastructure segment, White Construction benefits from robust resources, diversified capabilities, and a national reach. The company prides itself on its strong safety record, dedication to quality, and an outstanding repeat customer base of 85%.
What sets White Construction apart is its commitment to its core values and the personal touch it maintains despite its growth and publicly-traded status. The company values its relationships, ensuring client satisfaction by delivering projects on time and within budget. The craft workforce typically exceeds 1,500 employees and is well-prepared with specialized skills needed for complex infrastructure projects. With a pioneering spirit in wind power and a proven track record in constructing large-scale renewable energy projects, White Construction continues to lead in innovation and excellence in the construction industry.
