Belt Construction

What Belt Construction does

Belt Construction, Inc. (DBA Belt Construction Group) is a third-generation, family-owned heavy civil construction contractor specializing in water and wastewater infrastructure for municipal and governmental clients across Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana. Founded circa 1979 in Southwestern Arkansas and headquartered in Texarkana with a secondary office in Denton, TX, the company self-performs all open-cut pipe installation for sewer, water, and raw-water pipelines and offers four integrated service lines: Underground Utilities (large-diameter pipeline installation up to and exceeding 108 inches using FRP, Ductile Iron, PVC, Steel, PCCP, Concrete, HDPE, and Clay pipe), Auger Boring & Tunneling (trenchless installation methods), Sanitary Sewer Lift Stations (new construction and rehabilitation), and Concrete Services (box culverts, roads, sidewalks). The company has delivered projects across 35+ cities including Fort Worth ($59.6M Lake Arlington Force Main), Oklahoma City ($52.6M Atoka Pipeline), and Midland ($46.8M Northeast Sewer Line), leveraging specialized equipment and 45+ years of craft expertise in deep, large-diameter installations.

The business model is project-based, one-time contracting revenue earned through competitive public-works bidding. Belt does not publish pricing and does not sell through resellers or distributors; all services are delivered directly via field crews mobilized from the Texarkana and Denton offices. GTM is enterprise field sales targeting city governments, municipal authorities, and water utilities via formal public procurement processes, with no disclosed digital marketing beyond a company website and LinkedIn page. Customer concentration is entirely governmental, with named municipal clients including Fort Worth, Midland, Bentonville, Broken Arrow Municipal Authority, NTMWD, OK City Water Utilities Trust, Shreveport, Tyler, Tulsa Metropolitan Utility Authority, and Texarkana Water Utilities.

The company operates independently with no parent, subsidiaries, external investors, or disclosed funding rounds, preserving closely-held family ownership under the founder's grandson as Owner/CEO. Backlog signals — multiple contracts in the $46.8M–$59.6M range and a four-state active footprint — point to a regional specialty contractor with material revenue scale but limited vertical or geographic diversification outside South Central US public infrastructure spending.
