[Browse by Market](/our-work/sectors/) > “We deliver a quality project, on time, on budget.” > > — Lewis “John” Wagner, Chairman of the Board What We Do ## The Value We Bring. From concept to completion, E.S. Wagner Co. delivers integrated infrastructure solutions that reduce risk, improve constructability, and provide clients with greater certainty in cost, schedule, quality, and performance. ### Our Core Disciplines #### Site Preparation | Development Our expertise transforms raw land into construction-ready sites through precise planning, grading, coordination, and execution, ensuring schedule certainty and long-term performance. #### Erosion and Sediment Control Protecting project sites, surrounding waterways, and ensuring regulatory compliance through proactive solutions that minimize environmental risk and support uninterrupted construction progress. #### Mass Earthwork | Grading Moving millions of cubic yards with urgency and efficiency, while delivering a finished project to exacting tolerances, our mass earthwork and grading expertise optimizes schedules, reduces risk, and drives successful project delivery. #### Excavation Performing specialty excavation to fit any site condition or geology, from expansive site developments to highly restricted facility expansions in any soil, from mass rock formations to organic material deposits. #### Shoreline Protection Systems Beautifying, stabilizing, and preserving our shorelines and waterways through decades of experience, innovative concepts, and diverse capabilities, facilitating the optimum approach in any condition. #### Stormwater Management Systems Controlling runoff, protecting infrastructure, and supporting regulatory compliance, our stormwater management experience promotes site performance and reduces risk and schedule impacts. #### Underground Utility Infrastructure We build the essential infrastructure beneath the surface that enables fully functional facilities above it. #### Deep Foundations | Piling Our foundation support capabilities allow for the optimum approach to providing the strength and stability required for complex structures, creating a reliable platform for long-term performance. #### Structural Concrete Delivering durable, high-performance concrete structures through expert planning, precision placement, and quality craftsmanship that support long-term structural integrity. #### Shoring Providing safe, reliable support systems that protect workers, stabilize excavations, and enable efficient construction in complex environments. #### Bridge Construction Building critical transportation infrastructure with proven expertise, innovative solutions, and precise execution that connect communities and support long-term mobility. #### Concrete Paving Constructing durable, high-quality rigid pavement systems that withstand heavy use, optimize performance, and deliver lasting value for transportation and site infrastructure projects. ### Precon Services #### Estimating & Cost Planning Our past experience and detailed historical data allow us to quickly produce accurate and complete cost estimates during project planning and budgetary stages, even when the available details are limited. #### Value Engineering Applying a continuous improvement model, we constantly look for avenues to provide concepts that enhance quality, performance, and efficiency of delivery while reducing cost. #### Constructability Review During the design development stage, we readily review initial concepts and offer practical alternatives that improve constructability, shorten schedules, and reduce cost. #### Scheduling & Phasing Our detailed approach to every project, which includes a CPM schedule during the pursuit stage, offers us the opportunity to modify schedules to deliver our client’s critical milestones in the most efficient, constructible, and cost-competitive sequence. #### Earthwork Analysis and Optimization Drawing on decades of experience excavating and embanking soils of variable geologies and properties, we offer earthwork balancing design solutions that reduce or eliminate the need for costly material import or off-site disposal. #### Utility Coordination Since utilities have the potential to completely impede project progress, we leverage past relationships and coordinate with providers, facilitating practical and realistic relocation solutions that maintain the critical path. #### Risk Assessment Risk limitation is the goal of every client we serve, and our detailed pre-construction approach allows us to understand, communicate, and mitigate potential risks before they become reality during construction. #### BIM, Modeling & Digital Construction Support Utilizing the latest in technology, our engineering staff produces 3D models during the pre-construction phase to aid in cost estimating, management of design revisions, and concept rendering, promoting global project understanding and a collaborative approach. ### Alternative Project Delivery Methods #### Design-Build Drawing on decades of design-build experience and with the ability to advance alternative technical concepts incorporated into past projects from across our geographic footprint, we provide constructible fixed-price solutions without the necessity for excessive risk allowances. #### Progressive Design-Build Almost eighty years spent in the construction industry have allowed us to establish relationships with top design firms across numerous sectors, allowing us to partner with the best organizations to provide our clients a purpose-built Progressive Design-Build project team that capitalizes on the specialties of our company as well as our engineering colleagues. #### CMGC We are passionate about opportunities that allow us to apply our diverse experience and technical capabilities to pre-construction consultation, and our staff can quickly provide estimate refinement and risk assessment, providing for a seamless transition into the construction phase of a Construction Manager/General Contractor project, without financial or schedule-driven surprises.
