What ECCO III Enterprises does

ECCO III Enterprises, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned heavy civil construction contractor founded in 1971 and headquartered in Yonkers, New York. The firm operates across nine market segments — Heavy Highway/Civil Construction, Rail Infrastructure Construction, Mechanical Infrastructure Construction, Site Development, Marine Construction, Landfill Construction, Innovative Bridge and Engineering Solutions, Waste and Recycling, and Alternative Delivery (including Design-Build) — executing complex public-infrastructure projects throughout the New York Metropolitan Area and broader Northeast US.

The company's primary clients are government and public-authority entities, including MTA Construction & Development, Metro-North Railroad, and the US Army Corps of Engineers, with a secondary presence serving private developers such as the Austin Avenue Corporate Park. Work is delivered through competitive sealed bidding and design-build procurement on fixed-price and cost-plus contracts covering new construction, rehabilitation, and emergency repair of bridges, rail lines, highways, stations, and flood-mitigation infrastructure. Notable projects include the Hudson Line bridge replacement completed in five months under live tracks and the Design-Build Harmon Shop.

Revenue is project-based and earned primarily through one-time construction contracts awarded via competitive public-sector procurement; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The firm employs more than 400 workers during peak construction season, supported by an in-house estimating, engineering, and project management organization. Leadership is held by the Gizzi family, with Raymond Gizzi, PE serving as President/Owner succeeding founder Richard Gizzi Sr., alongside co-owner John Gizzi.
