What Meco does

Meco Constructors, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned heavy civil construction contractor founded in 1972 and headquartered in Bensalem, Pennsylvania. The company delivers five integrated service lines — earth moving and site development, heavy highway and infrastructure construction, underground water and wastewater services, demolition, and material and equipment hauling — to government and municipal agencies, commercial and industrial developers, residential developers, and institutional clients (healthcare and education) across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. Project-based work is won primarily through RFP submissions and direct enterprise engagement with municipal procurement offices, GCs, and private developers.

The firm self-performs more than 90% of contract work in-house using a fleet of more than 250 pieces of heavy equipment (predominantly Caterpillar) and a union workforce of more than 130 employees, supported by an in-house fleet maintenance department and an affiliated trucking subsidiary, Meco Trucking, Inc. Its principal proprietary technology is the patented Exco KwikCore Coring Device (US Patent #8,167,519), invented by owners Andy and Pete Ebert with employees Fred Engel and Ed Lounsberry; the device is mandated for use in the City of Philadelphia for coring underground piping and is offered in equipment-mounted and portable configurations.

Revenue is generated through project-based fixed-price and cost-plus contracts, with estimating and project management teams dedicated to RFP pursuit and execution. The Ebert family has controlled the business since founding, transitioning from founder Andrew R. Ebert II to his sons Andrew III (President) and Peter (Secretary/Treasurer & VP of Field Operations) in 2003, and now into a third generation with Andrew Ebert IV and Paul Ebert in project management roles. The company operates with no external institutional capital, and its differentiators are asset density, the KwikCore patent, and five decades of Mid-Atlantic client relationships rather than technology, AI, or recurring software revenue.
