Curran Contracting  partnered with Clayco on this site development project in Cherry Valley, Illinois. Curran self-performed the excavation of 500,000 CYD of topsoil and clay, 75,000 CY of rock excavation, 55,000 tons of stone placement and 25,000 tons of asphalt paving to prepare for a future 141,000 SF distribution facility while managing the subcontractors performing the underground utilities and soil stabilization.

Shodeen Construction awarded Curran Contracting this mass grading project which includes over 150,000 CY of excavation, and paving for a 20 acre site in Campton Hills, Illinois. The land is being developed for a future single family home community called Norton Lakes. Upon completion, Curran Contracting will have installed 6,000 ft of curbs, 5,300 TN of aggregate base and laid 1,200TN of binder to complete the roads.

Curran  was contracted to build a new roundabout in the City of DeKalb, Illinois at the intersection of Peace and Gurler Road for Krusinski Construction Company. This now leads into the new entrance for the ChicagoWest Business Center. Improvements also included more than one mile of road widening and resurfacing on Gurler Road.

Curran Contracting was honored to partner with FCL Builders, LLC on this project in Kenosha, Wisconsin to retrofit an existing industrial facility to support the growing distribution needs for Amazon. The client had high expectations for completion, and Curran was able to seamlessly deliver.

Occasionally, Curran is awarded a project with a higher purpose. The new Huntley Willow Creek Church had their ground-breaking ceremony and Curran was there moving earth to make it happen!

Partnering with Altounian Construction our scope of work included topsoil stripping operations, site excavation, building foundation excavation, parking lot installation, and widening Huntley road to give churchgoers a safe entry point.

Carlson Construction awarded Curran the earthwork contract for the Artis Senior Living project in Bartlett, Illinois.  Our scope of work included topsoil excavation, re-spread, mass site excavation with a detention pond structural excavation and backfill for the new facility.

Clarius Partners partnered with Pepper Construction to demolish, remediate and build a new 100,000 SF industrial facility in Franklin Park, Illinois.  The construction professionals at Pepper called upon Curran to transform the site and prepare for them to build anew. The site was safely remediated using engineered barriers; Curran performed all the site grading, footing undercuts and backfill, contained the bad soils, and brought in stone for the building pad.  To help achieve LEED Silver status, we recycled the crushed concrete from the demolished building.

Harbour Contractors awarded Curran the earthwork and landscaping contract for the Stepan Chemical South Rail Spur project located in Elwood, Illinois. Our team completed topsoil excavation and respread, storm sewer work, 25,000 CY mass site excavation, placement of CA6 as a sub-ballast for the storage tracks, rock excavation, erosion control, and landscaping. This project required specialty rail training and extensive coordination efforts to safely perform work near live railroad tracks.

Curran Contracting worked aggressively with the General Contractor, Keeley Construction, to complete the new Weber Grill Distribution Facility in Huntley, Illinois before winter conditions set it. The crew provided 20,000 tons of aggregate base and 25,000 tons of asphalt for a new 1,000,000 SF building industrial building.

The Curran team was contracted to revitalize the military neighborhoods at the Naval Station Great Lakes, Fort Sheridan and Glenview Naval Bases. We completed the demolition of the existing roadways, including all roadways, utilities, asbestos abatement, contaminated soil removal and recycled the concrete for the reconstruction. Additional scope included building demolition, mass excavation, utility infrastructure removals, new utilities and subdivision roadway construction.

Curran Contracting was able to demo four 1940’s hangar building at the Chicago Executive Airport to accommodate new concrete taxiways.

The Mundelein Del Webb community contracted Curran to reconstruct and widen Hawley Road.  We removed the roadway, excavated 20 feet below grade, installed box culverts and storm sewers, placed the backfill and stone sub-base, and paved the roadway.  By installing box culverts and creating an underground tunnel, the golfers  from Countryside Golf Course could now safely pass under the roadway.

The Illinois State Highway Authority tasked Curran with an eight-mile reconstruction project; our crews transformed a 4-lane Interstate I-90 stretch into a 6-lane modern expressway with a permanent concrete median barrier wall and new roadway lighting. Completed within two construction seasons, the scope included removing the existing pavement and road shoulders, earth excavation and grading, and the construction of three new lanes of concrete pavement in each direction. To make this project more sustainable, the existing asphalt and concrete pavement was salvaged and used for the new 6-lane interstate highway.

The Illinois Tollway awarded Curran Contracting “Roadway Contractor of the Year” for this project.

For this unique public project, Curran Contracting redeveloped a 13-mile rural farm road with pulverization, stabilization, installation of a flex-base and new asphalt paving.  Despite heavy traffic volume, we performed our construction operations safely and without closures or disruptions to drivers in Gonzales, Texas.
