The Civil Construction Division, based in Everett, Washington, is responsible for bidding and building heavy civil projects throughout the Northwest.  Project types include highways, bridges, dams, underground utilities, landfill cells and closures, and interstate noise walls.  With the acquisition of Construction and Rigging, Inc. 1995, the Civil Construction Division gained the ability to construct combination grading, paving and structures projects with it own forces, a capability appreciated by many clients.  Since much of the work performed by the Civil Construction Division is in the greater Puget Sound area, crews from other Wilder branches oftentimes team with the Civil crews to accomplish the work.  With the combining of forces, many projects can be efficiently constructed at the same time and be finished ahead of schedule.  The addition of Chinook salmon to the Endangered Species list, and the recognized importance of clean water to their survival, has forced the fast-tracking of many projects that include bridges over fish bearing streams or earthwork projects with surfaces exposed to the weather.  Wilder has the capability to accomplish difficult projects within the constraints of short completion times.
