Utah’s Premier Specialists

From mass excavation to complex wastewater treatment plants, Gerber Construction delivers GPS-guided precision and multi-trade integration. We don’t just move dirt; we build the foundation for Utah’s most critical infrastructure.

Earthwork Expertise for Complex Projects

Our specialized Earthwork Division combines decades of proven experience with a growth-driven mindset—delivering elite crews, advanced equipment, and precision execution for complex municipal and district projects. We focus on highly technical scopes that demand pre-qualification, strict environmental compliance, and exceptional accuracy, making us a trusted partner for the state’s most demanding earthwork challenges.

Wastewater & Water Infrastructure

This is our niche. We have a proven 5–6 year track record of delivering earthwork for wastewater treatment plants and water reclamation facilities.

  • Specialized Piping: Expert installation of large-diameter HDPE, RCP (reinforced concrete), SDR35 PVC, C900 water lines, and ADS storm drains.
  • Infrastructure: Water tank site preparation and sewer district expansions.

Wetland Mitigation & Environmental Work

Building near Utah Lake or sensitive environments requires a surgical touch. We specialize in wetland mitigation—relocating and preserving wetland areas to keep your project compliant and moving forward.

Mass Excavation & Site Grading

Our fleet is equipped to handle "Mass X" projects at any scale

  • Precision Grading: Road base, sub grade, and asphalt prep.
  • Building Prep: Final grade building pads and foundation excavation.
  • Difficult Terrain: Rock excavation, over-digs, and pond construction.

Underground & Dry Utilities

  • Comprehensive storm drain systems.
  • Dry utility conduit installation and gas line trench preparation.
  • Total underground piping solutions for any material or depth.
"We’re the company that’s going to do whatever it takes to make it happen—whether it’s adding more crews or solving a complex design flaw. No matter how hard the project is, we’ll figure out a way to do it."

—Layne Smith, Earthwork & Piping Division Manager

Keep Your Project Moving Forward

Whether you're planning a wastewater facility, large-scale excavation, or a technically complex site, our team is ready to step in early and deliver with precision.

Why We’re Different

The One-Stop Shop (Earthwork + Concrete + Fab)

Earthwork never happens in a silo. At Gerber, we handle the earthwork, concrete, fabrication, and mechanical piping in-house. This eliminates finger-pointing between subs and streamlines your schedule. One contract, one point of contact.

GPS 3D-Guided Precision

We utilize autosteer equipment driven by 3D project models. By working within tenths of an inch, we eliminate excessive staking and surveying. For you, this means faster production, less re-work, and more competitive bids.

CMGC & Design-Build Partners

Engineers and owners bring us in at 30–60% design completion. We consult on constructibility, budgeting, and timelines to ensure the project is buildable and profitable before the first bucket hits the dirt.

Accountability-First Safety

We don’t just "check a box." Our dedicated Safety Division rotates across every site, empowered to write up our own crews if standards aren't met. We protect your project and our people with industry-rare transparency.

Built for Utah’s Infrastructure Leaders

We are pre-qualified for government and district work, serving:

  • Sewer & Water Districts: Central Weber, Timpanogos, Salt Lake, and beyond.
  • Municipalities: City utility departments and water reclamation managers.
  • Civil Engineers: Partners who need real-world constructibility input.
  • UDOT Projects: Roadway earthwork and bridge approach specialists.
"Gerber is one of those contractors you don’t have to worry about. They’ve consistently shown a high level of competence and capability over the years, and we trust them to get the job done right."

—Cort Lambson (Central Utah Water Conservancy District)
