Utility Construction
As a leading heavy construction firm in the northeast since 1924, Wyman & Simpson has completed numerous public utility projects and coordinated the installation of underground utility lines – electrical, natural gas, water and sewer – on a number of private construction projects. As with all of our work, safety is a priority on the job, and our crews have an excellent safety record.
