Building a Legacy
It’s rare that anyone enters the construction industry and claims a “general contractor” status right off the bat. Everyone must start somewhere. For Keystone Utility Construction (KUC), we began with telecom. In the early 2000s, major telecommunications companies began switching their infrastructure from co-axial cable to fiber-optics. This gave KUC the opportunity to grow into a highly successful operation with crews working around the clock to help build the fiber-optic backbones of AT&T and Sprint. The invaluable experience and knowledge gained from the telecommunications community alone laid the framework for KUC to become a competitive and dependable utility contractor throughout the Northeastern United States.
The journey.
Every success has its fair share of struggles. When the fiber boom slowed down, coupled with the economic crisis of 2008, it was nearly impossible to sustain the KUC enterprise without seeking work outside of telecom. It was the perfect opportunity to diversify. We began venturing into new facets of construction and now provide services related to (but not limited to) forestry management and land clearing, precision grading and leveling, drainage solutions for tricky areas, water and sewer utility systems, and other miscellaneous needs involving heavy equipment excavation.
Core values.
There is a reason everyone makes safety their number one priority, and we are no different. There is no task that can’t wait for proper safety measures and precautions. Every member of our team is fully insured and qualified to perform the responsibilities afforded to them. As a family-owned business, we understand the severity of working safely.
