Strack

What Strack does

Strack, Inc. is a third-generation, family-owned heavy civil construction contractor headquartered in Fairburn, Georgia, founded in 1948. The company self-performs a vertically integrated suite of construction services across the Southeastern United States, including trenchless boring and tunneling (microtunneling, guided boring, auger boring), utility construction (water, sanitary sewer, stormwater, and wastewater), grading and excavation, design-build, railroad construction, general contracting, and drilling and blasting (delivered through its 2021 sister company Elevate Drilling & Blasting). Service delivery is supported by a fully-owned fleet of more than 400 pieces of heavy machinery, including specialized trenchless equipment such as the Iseki 'UncleMole' microtunneling machine, and a workforce of more than 600 full-time employees as of 2023. Cumulative installed base includes more than 25 million linear feet of drainage and stormwater utilities since inception.

The company serves three primary customer segments: Class I railroad companies (notably Norfolk Southern, CSX, and Georgia Ports Authority), municipal and government entities (urban improvements, parks, trails, transit, federal projects through the US Army Corps of Engineers), and private developers and general contractors (industrial site development, manufacturing facilities, logistics, EV manufacturing infrastructure such as the Rivian water reuse facility). Notable project case studies include the Scott Emmons Water Reuse Facility (microtunneling under I-20), the Simpson Yard Intermodal Facility expansion in Jacksonville, FL, and industrial sites for Makita Tools, Busch Logistics, and Panettoni Development, several of which involved $50M–$100M+ scopes. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales targeting developers, general contractors, municipal governments, and railroads via relationship-driven bidding and design-build partnerships across Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, and the broader Southeast.

Revenue is generated through project-based, fixed-price contracts awarded via competitive bid and design-build negotiation; pricing is custom per project based on scope and complexity, with no standardized tiers. Disclosed revenue grew from over $100 million in 2020 (380 employees) to over $200 million by 2022, with 600+ employees and continued workforce and geographic expansion through 2023 — supported by a dedicated training facility (CAT simulators), an Organizational Development Department, and a Carolina Region office in Rock Hill, South Carolina. The company is privately held with no external investment, parent company, or public listing.
