What Northeast Remsco Construction does

Northeast Remsco Construction, Inc. is a Wall Township, New Jersey-based heavy civil and underground utility contractor founded in 1978 and operating as a portfolio company under JAG Companies, LLC alongside sister firms Caldwell Marine International, Huxted Tunneling, and ECI Drilling International. The company self-performs the majority of construction work across four core service lines: Utility Construction (storm and sanitary sewers, water mains, street and sidewalk amenities), Trenchless & Tunneling (microtunneling, auger-bore, pipe jacking, liner plate tunneling, guided boring, hand mining, sliplining rehabilitation), Heavy Civil (bridges, railroad structures, dams, highway improvements in environmentally sensitive areas), and Treatment Plants (membrane filter plants, traditional flocculation/sedimentation, DAF, odor control, combined heat and power on digester or landfill gas). Its trenchless work is supported by a "best-in-class" microtunneling equipment fleet and 25 years of specialized experience, including the first field installation of Permalok Radial Bending Joint curved steel microtunneling beneath New Jersey's Pleasure Bay.

The firm's customer base is concentrated in the public sector. Documented clients include the New York City Department of Design and Construction, Nassau County Department of Public Works, NY State Department of Environmental Conservation, City of Baltimore DPW, Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills, NJ Transit, City of Wildwood NJ, Middlesex Water Company, Middlesex County Utilities Authority, Two Rivers Water Reclamation Authority, and American Water Military Services at West Point. The largest disclosed engagements include the 70th Street NYC microtunnel project (3,425 LF of 96-inch RCP) and the Bay Park Conveyance design-build partnership with John Picone, Inc. (~19,000 LF FRP-lined RCP via microtunneling and 37,000 LF via sliplining, removing up to 90% of nitrogen loading in Western Bays). The company is Hispanic-owned and MBE-certified through the National Minority Supplier Development Council.

The business model is project-based and driven by competitive bidding on fixed-price, GMP, and design-build public infrastructure contracts across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic United States, with additional operations in the Caribbean and Central America. New work is acquired through direct government procurement, engineering-firm referrals (e.g., Hazen and Sawyer), and accumulated reputation on prior projects. Pricing is not publicly listed because contracts are bespoke and competitively bid. Since 1978 the firm has completed over $2 billion in utility construction contracts; no current-year revenue, headcount detail beyond a 51-100 range, or backlog figure is disclosed in the available data.
