What Tully Construction Company, Inc. does

Tully Construction Company, Inc. is a family-owned, third-generation heavy civil construction firm founded in 1930 by Edward Tully and Pete DiNapoli as Tully & DiNapoli, headquartered in Port Washington, New York. The company operates as part of The Tully Group, with wholly-owned subsidiaries including Thalle Construction (heavy civil and dam work, based in Hillsborough, NC), Tully Environmental (remediation and brownfield services), Natural Soil Products, Evergreen Recycling of Corona (E.R.O.C.), and Willets Point Asphalt Plant. Its core offerings span dam and reservoir construction (including roller-compacted concrete), marine construction, deep excavation and tunneling, environmental remediation, transportation infrastructure (highways, bridges, expressways), water and sewage treatment plants, and disaster recovery. Specialized technical capabilities include the highest RCC dam in North America (Hickory Log Creek, 180 feet), first-in-New York deployment of Earth Pressure Balance tunnel boring technology, and excavations up to 85 feet for subway station construction.

The firm generates revenue exclusively through project-based construction contracts awarded via competitive bidding on public infrastructure projects, with contract values ranging from approximately $5.7M to $1.3B. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales built on pre-qualification with federal (USACE), state (NYS DOT), municipal (NYC DOT, NYC DEP), and authority (MTA, TBTA) buyers, supplemented by joint ventures with Skanska, OHL USA, Posillico Civil, Yonkers Contracting, ARK Contracting, and E.E. Cruz to combine capabilities and bonding capacity for mega-projects. Customers are entirely government and public-sector entities, with the firm operating across the Northeast, Southeast, and Mid-Atlantic United States. Marquee projects include the Croton Water Treatment Plant ($1.3B JV with Skanska, the largest single construction contract in New York history), the $283M Sandy Restoration and Brooklyn Battery Tunnel Rehabilitation, the World Trade Center Temporary PATH Station (post-9/11), and the Hickory Log Creek Dam.

The business model is relationship-driven, asset-heavy, and project-cycle dependent, with revenue recognition tied to long-duration construction milestones (months to years) and significant working capital tied up in progress billings. The firm differentiates on the basis of three generations of family ownership, aggressive cost management by a young management team, vertical integration through owned asphalt, quarry, and recycling assets, and deep technical expertise in niche heavy civil disciplines like RCC and EPB tunneling. Annual revenue is not publicly disclosed, and Tully remains privately held with no external institutional ownership identified.
