The state of Texas has a seemingly unquenchable thirst for water, and Kansas City, Mo.-based general contractor Garney Construction seemingly has endless resources to supply it.
Although active throughout Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana, the water/wastewater contractor primarily focuses on Texas because of its steady population growth, says David Burkhart, director of central pipe operations with Garney. The firm, 100% employee owned with a workforce of 1,500, likewise is growing. Its regional revenue has nearly doubled—from $164.4 million to $308.66 million—from 2015 to 2018.
