What Traylor Bros., Inc. does

Traylor Bros., Inc. is a third-generation, family-owned heavy civil construction contractor headquartered in Evansville, Indiana. Founded in 1946, the company self-performs three core service lines — Bridge Construction (cable-stayed, segmental, and signature spans; more than 135 major bridge projects completed), Marine Construction (deep-water container piers, wharf facilities, locks, and dams; activity since the 1950s), and Underground/Tunneling (soft-ground and hard-rock boring; more than 115 projects and 110+ miles of bored tunnels). The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Traylor Construction Group, Inc., with Chris Traylor and Mike Traylor serving as Co-Presidents since 2007-2008. Customers are exclusively federal, state, regional, and municipal government agencies — primarily state DOTs, transit authorities, port authorities, water/wastewater districts, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers — secured through competitive public procurement rather than commercial sales. Revenues flow through fixed-price, design-build, and CMAR contracts, with joint ventures used strategically to pursue mega-projects exceeding in-house bonding or capacity thresholds.

Operationally, Traylor differentiates through vertical integration: a dedicated Equipment Division operates nearly 3,000 pieces of heavy fleet — including custom tunnel boring machines (e.g., Lady Bird, Hazel, Angeli) rated for pressures up to 6.5 bar, a 750-ton Manitowoc 4600 crane, tugboats up to 1,000 HP, and over 400 barges/pontoons — across equipment yards in Evansville IN, Rosamond CA, Wickliffe KY, Mesa TX, and Olympia WA. The Traylor Precast subsidiary operates dedicated carrousel segment plants in Littlerock, CA and Stockton, CA, producing 500,000+ linear feet of underground precast rings and 305,000+ tunnel segments. A proprietary Boraid surfactant foam plant supports EPB ground conditioning. Geographic reach spans the United States and Canada, with the latter served via the Traylor-Aecon General Partnership. The company pursues mega-projects primarily through consortium arrangements with Skanska, Walsh, Granite, Zachry, and Aecon, sharing risk and bonding capacity on awards ranging from $150 million bridge replacements to multi-billion-dollar tunnel programs.
