A City Rebuilt on Old Industrial Land

Excavation contractors in Midvale work in a compact, fast-changing city. Midvale grew from 27,964 residents in 2010 to 36,028 in 2020 on about 5.9 square miles of land, and the 2020 census counted 15,430 housing units.

Bingham Junction

About 446 acres on the western border, Bingham Junction was a mining slag site from 1871 to 1958. It was removed from the National Priorities List in 2006 and has since added thousands of households. The 351-acre Jordan Bluffs area, also part of the former slag site, has proposals that could add 3,500 housing units. Excavation on or near former industrial ground follows any environmental restrictions recorded for the property.

Mostly renters

Only about 43 percent of homes are owner-occupied. Owner projects tend to be practical: sewer and water laterals, drainage, concrete removal and garage replacement.

Common Midvale jobs

  • Sewer laterals
  • Concrete and garage removal
  • Drainage regrading
  • Footings for small additions

Near the Jordan River

Midvale borders the Jordan River. Low lots near any river can see higher groundwater in spring, so deep digs there get a water plan.

Dense blocks

With more than 15,000 housing units on about 6 square miles, Midvale lots are tight. We plan truck staging, load spoil directly and keep sidewalks open.

Small additions and ADUs

Owners adding space often build up or out on small footprints. We dig footings with compact equipment close to existing walls.

Mixed housing

Midvale mixes small older homes, newer townhomes and apartment complexes. For owners of single-family homes, we keep projects compact and fast so neighbors and shared driveways are not tied up.
