Minger Construction, Inc.

What Minger Construction, Inc. does

Minger Construction Companies, Inc. is a family-owned regional heavy-civil contractor founded in 1984 and headquartered in Jordan, Minnesota. The company specializes in complex underground utility, sewer, water, trenchless, and earthwork construction, serving municipalities, state and county government agencies, airports commissions, watershed organizations, and private developers primarily across Minnesota and Wisconsin. Its service portfolio spans eight integrated capabilities — sewer and water construction, trenchless construction, earthwork, temporary conveyance, sewer rehabilitation, tunnel grouting, specialty structural rehabilitation, and foundation systems — that can be deployed independently or combined on multi-disciplinary infrastructure projects.

The company's technical platform rests on an owned specialized-equipment fleet: trenchless systems capable of installing pipe from 4 inches to 16 feet in diameter using auger boring, TBM, pilot tube microtunneling, rock boring, DTH boring, pipe ramming, and hand mining; GPS-equipped earthmoving fleets with machine control and modeling software; a recently added GeoNex DTH hammer rig for rocky-soil bores; extensive shoring and large-excavator inventory for deep excavations in poor soils; and miles of HDPE pipe enabling temporary sewer bypass up to 50,000 gallons per minute. Quantified outcomes include trenchless crossings delivered 4-6 weeks ahead of conventional methods on MNDOT TH 95.

Minger generates revenue through project-based contracting — direct bidding and negotiation with public agencies and private developers on a one-time contract basis per project. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales: no intermediaries or channel partners, with business development driven by a website portfolio showcasing 1,600+ completed projects and direct outreach to procurement officials. The company employs 140+ team members across field operations, project management, equipment, safety, and administration, with leadership concentrated in the founding Minger family (Luke Minger as President/CEO since 2000, Karen Minger as Secretary/Treasurer since founding) supplemented by long-tenured operational executives and a hired CFO.
