and the aggravation of working with multiple contractors on a project. On site clearing projects, TTS is able to take the project from the initial permits to the final recycling stage. They self perform all pipeline excavation, from desilting basins and cutting rough grade to all over excavation and compaction services. They also provide finish grading and import/export of materials needed to balance sites of all sizes and terrain. TTS crews construct all site utilities and concrete structures including sewer, storm drain, wet and dry utilities along with drainage and sewer manholes. Their concrete division can form and pour all flatwork, curb and gutter, sidewalks, v-ditches and any and all site concrete needed. TTS also has a close working relationship with a well-known and respected asphalt contractor, when asphalt paving services are required. “We acquired a good-sized concrete construction www.calcontractor.com
company in 2013 and the additions of these estimators and crew members are part of what has allowed us to double our sales in 2014,” says Wilson. “We are currently busy working for the Irvine Company and their retail division, performing asphalt and concrete ADA requirement work. Our work on the civil engineering side has grown dramatically and I believe that will continue to drive the growth of our company in the future.” In 2014, TTS took on two of their larger projects at the Park Place Phase II project in Irvine, where they were awarded a $2.3 million contract for the site utility work. TTS was responsible for all of the wet utilities including sewer, storm drain and water for a new pump station. They also have a job going on right now in Laguna Woods, which is a $1.8 million contract. On this job, TTS is building a triple RCB, a new bridge and outfall, as well as the
re-grading of a channel, the installation of tons of rip-rap, a storm connector and other various storm drain improvements. Tim Wilson also has equipment and crews working for Fydaq Company, Inc. in Irvine. Tim is supporting the contractor on this Toll Brothers housing tract project with four pieces of heavy machinery and operators from his operated equipment rental company, West Coast Backhoe Rentals (WCBR). The WCBR operators are utilizing a LiuGong 936LG and 922LG excavator, along with a LiuGong 842LG wheel loader to perform underground utility excavation, as well as to cut back slopes and to install caissons on and around the project. TTS has approximately 23 pieces of heavy construction machinery in their modern fleet of excavators, wheel loaders, track loaders, backhoes, mini-excavators and skid steer loaders.
