Countless projects completed since 1965

Engineers Construction, Inc. was hired by the City of Burlington to complete a dredging project at Perkins Pier and the College St basin after past low water years has posed a risk to boaters and has occasionally shut the docks down completely. ECI subcontracted Green Mountain Marine Services to bring their barges and long reach excavators to pull the material out of the lake and place it in a de-watering bin, then ECI hauled the material away.

ECI was contracted to extend municipal water and sewer to the Highgate Airport. The project consists of installing 7,000lf of 8” C900 PVC Water Main, 2,000lf of 8” SDR 35 Gravity Sewer, 8,100lf of 4” HDPE Sewer Force Main, water & sewer service stubs, a Water Booster Pump Station and a Sewer Pump Station. 6,800lf of the 4” Sewer Force Main was installed by Horizontal Directional Drilling along with 1,800lf of 8” water main.

The Town of Bethel hired ECI to rebuild Town Highway Bride No. 52 and remove both the existing 100 LF temporary off-alignment bridge and the remnants of the original Bridge No. 52 which was destroyed during a 2019 storm when Gilead Brook overtopped its banks.  This project was particularly notable as it marked ECI’s first fully self-performed cast-in-place bridge deck – excluding only the bridge rail installation.

ECI was contracted by VTrans to replace and then remove Bridge 29 which carries Route 2 across I-89 just south of Richmond Village. The goal of this project was to replace the existing 1964 8-span bridge with a new 2-span off-alignment bridge. This was a 3-year project that started in May of 2023 and was completed in September of 2025.

ECI was hired to expand the Franklin County State Airport.  The project included lengthening the runway 1,000’, building a new 35’ x 2,000’ taxiway along the runway extension and widening the existing taxiway by 15’.  The purpose of this project was to upgrade the runway to accommodate larger aircraft and bring it up to current federal regulations.

ECI has been awarded the municipal paving project for the city of Burlington multiple times, most recently in 2023 and 2024.  

ECI contracted with VTrans to replace NECR Bridge 35.01 over Route 14 in Royalton, VT. The existing 26’ clear span bridge was only 12’ 1” above the roadway. Because of the size the bridge choked traffic down to a single lane with no signals and a blind approach from each direction. Due to its low height, the bridge was a high strike-risk, was hit multiple times while ECI was on site, and in the past had been hit hard enough to mangle the outside beams and knock the tracks off alignment. The new bridge is a 125’ steel girder bridge with an improved vertical clearance of 14’ 6” and allowed for Route 14 to be realigned and widened to 30’ from shoulder to shoulder with clear visibility.

In 2023 ECI was contracted by the City of Essex Junction to complete Crescent Connector Phase Two Construction. This project consisted of constructing a new roadway connecting Park Street (Vermont Route 2A) to Maple Street (Vermont 117), a full-depth reconstruction of Railroad Street, installation of two new traffic signals at Park Street and Maple Street, new concrete sidewalks, street lighting improvements, water system expansion, and stormwater conveyance and treatment systems. Construction of the project was further complicated by the presence of Urban Background Soils, Development Soils, and Non-hazardous waste soils.

ECI was the prime contractor to the Vermont Agency of Transportation for the replacement of two existing 50-ft-long culverts and install one new 100-ft-long culvert under the Vermont Railway with active railroad traffic.

In June of 2022 ECI was subcontracted by Friend Commercial Contracting from Malone, NY to perform the trenchless portion of the emergency culvert replacement of the 84” culvert that channels Dugway Brook under Route 30 near Duane, NY.

ECI’s Trenchless Technologies Division was subcontracted by Kubricky Construction Corp, the General Contractor of the Middlebury Bridge and Rail Project to bore three drainage tunnels. In the course of 12 weeks our crew used the Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) to drill through 442 feet of bedrock and mixed ground including soil, rock and sticky clay. Our Civil and Heavy Civil Divisions were also subcontracted to work on the railroad work.

The bridge which is owned by the State of Vermont was constructed in 1900 and consists of a truss and a girder span with stone abutments and middle pier. The substructures had been repaired several times previously and the center pier had continued to tilt up to and during construction.  The tilting and settlement of the pier and abutment had required previous shimming of the bridge, the bridge deck, and the track approaches.  This older bridge also needed strengthening to meet the heavier class of modern rail cars

ECI is the Design-Build contractor to the Vermont Agency of Transportation for this $15.248M culvert replacement project.  The undersized  and failing existing culverts conveyed the waters of the Manchester Brook (a tributary to the Connecticut River) below the US Route 5 and Washington County Railroad embankments. This particularly challenging project involved replacing the culverts with a new 32-ft clear span opening below the 70-ft-tall railroad embankment and 60-ft-tall highway embankment.

ECI is the site and concrete contractor for the new Downtown Transit Center for the  Chittenden County Transportation Authority (CCTA) in Burlington, Vermont.  The project involves reconstruction of the entire Saint Paul Street from Cherry to Pearl Street with a new building in the center of the street with a canopy extending north towards Pearl Street.

This $8.5M design/build renewable energy project at the Vermont Air National Guard involves about 7,000 individual 230 watt solar panels in three separate systems (solar trackers, roof mount array, and fix array).

ECI installed this Redi-Rock precast concrete block retaining wall for an electric substation project. The wall consists of over 2,700 blocks with a face area of about 15,600 square feet.

ECI has been working with All Earth Renewables of Williston, Vermont to install their All Sun solar trackers since July 2010.  These solar panel systems track the sun and align themselves to optimize the harvesting of solar energy.  

The project was part of the Gorge Area Reinforcement (GAR) which will increase the power reliability to northern Chittenden County.   Power reliability is essential to economic vitality of the region.  ECI was the civil contractor for these two substations which included extensive earthwork and rock excavation, a pair of large retaining walls, over 250 individual foundations, miles of conduit and copper grounding. 

ECI installed a 1,200-ft-long steel 12-in-dia coated gas line by directional drilling under the Westfield River in Westfield, MA.  The pipeline was installed from an abandoned 60-ft-high railroad embankment.  

ECI was contracted with the Town of Essex Junction to reface the abutments and wingwalls, and replace the backwalls.  The project also included a new asphalt pavement deck and waterproofing membrane.

ECI was the low bidder on this $2.8M project which involved complete replacement of the bridge while utilizing the existing granite block abutments as a facade to the new substructure.  

ECI was the general contractor on this 100 kW Northern Power Systems turbine installed at the summit of Millstone Hill in Graniteville, Vermont.  The project is the showcase turbine for Northern Power Systems of Barre, Vermont, the manufacturer of the turbine.

ECI was selected as the contractor for this emergency repair on the 1950’s North Hero – Grand Isle Draw Bridge.  The structure consists of a double leaf bascule girder draw bridge with a total draw span of 130 feet.  The floor beams, diaphragms, and metal decking were all in poor condition that required an emergency repair.  Traffic had been diverted to a temporary Mabey bridge over the bascule span to take load off the bridge.

ECI designed and constructed this 10-mile-long run of underground conduit through Pinkham Notch, NH.  The Notch is a popular tourist destination in the heart of the White Mountain National Forest at the base of Mt. Washington.  It is considered the most sacred roadway in New Hampshire.

ECI was engaged by the NECR to perform emergency stabilization of the Burlington Tunnel (located under North Avenue in Burlington, VT).  A sudden loss of structural integrity of the tunnel floor caused significant ground movements and longitudinal cracking at the spring-line of the 150-year-old brick lined tunnel.  The railroad immediately stabilized the tunnel by flooding the unstable areas  concrete.  ECI was called in to design/build a permanent repair. 

ECI was the civil contractor for the underground transmission lines in the residential communities of Charlotte, Shelburne, and South Burlington, Vermont.

ECI was engaged by the NECR to serve as the general contractor to lower the tunnel about 2.5 feet to allow for modified double stack container freight. The 150 year-old tunnel is 280 linear feet long and had been lowered twice previously.

This project consisted of a communications line upgrade to allow for relocation of some of the state’s computer network system that was vulnerable to flooding conditions along the Winooski River in Montpelier, Vermont. The project was highly visible on the main through street of Vermont’s capital city.

AC Paving Corporation was the low bidder for the Rutfill Project on I-91 in 2006.  The Rutfill projects involve cold planing and repaving of segments of the interstate that have been most severely rutted by truck wheels.

ECI was contracted by Lane Construction for the railroad crossing upgrade at the Route 142 Paving Project for the Vermont Agency of Transportation. Both railroad and highway traffic continued during the project.
