What W.M. Schultz Construction does

W.M. Schultz Construction, Inc. is a family-owned heavy civil construction firm founded in 1970 and headquartered in Ballston Spa, New York, operating across the Northeastern United States (New York, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania). The company delivers water and wastewater treatment plant construction and rehabilitation, cast-in-place concrete structures, process piping and equipment installations for municipal and industrial clients, site work services using digital terrain modeling and automated machine controls, and accelerated-schedule infrastructure projects under its "Performance Under Pressure" offering — including accelerated bridge construction and facility-shutdown workarounds.

The firm's service portfolio spans four integrated pillars: Cast In Place Concrete for structural foundations; Process Piping & Equipment supporting chemical feed, mechanical filtration, diffused air floatation, ultraviolet disinfection, aeration, and granulated activated carbon systems, often with SCADA integration; Site Work Services using digital terrain modeling and automated machine controls for both subsurface and surface civil infrastructure; and Performance Under Pressure for time-critical public works such as the Vermont Route 30 bridge replacement completed in a 28-day shutdown window. Notable specialty capabilities include directional drilling under the Hudson River and underwater diving-and-pipe-setting operations, demonstrated on the Hudson River PCBs Alternative Drinking Water Supplies project.

Revenue is generated through fixed-price and cost-plus public works contracts awarded via sealed bids, RFPs, and RFQs from municipalities, water and sewer districts, state DOTs, and federal agencies, supplemented by direct negotiation with private industrial clients. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined by detailed estimating of labor, materials, equipment, subcontractors, and overhead against project plans and specifications. The company pursues business through enterprise field sales targeting government procurement officials and engineering-firm partners, supported by a regional brand reputation anchored on an award-winning safety culture (ABC STEP Diamond, 2025; multiple NAWIC National Safety Excellence Awards), industry-recognized project delivery (APWA Project of the Year in 2017 and 2019; ACEC Diamond Award), and over 50 years of operating history under continuous family leadership.
