What Gulisek Construction Company does

Gulisek Construction Company is a privately held heavy civil construction contractor founded in 1965 and headquartered in Mt. Pleasant, Pennsylvania. The company specializes in heavy highway, bridge, drainage, excavation, and concrete construction services across the Mid-Atlantic region, operating through four Pennsylvania offices (Mt. Pleasant, Pittsburgh, Horsham, and Harrisburg) and serving project sites in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Maryland, New Jersey, Delaware, Virginia, Kentucky, and Washington D.C. Gulisek functions as a prequalified general contractor bidding primarily on public infrastructure projects for PennDOT across multiple districts, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, Pittsburgh Regional Transit, and county/municipal authorities, with supplementary private work for resort and commercial developers including Nemacolin Woodlands Resort and Seven Springs Mountain Resort.

The company's service portfolio spans eight core offerings: heavy highway construction, concrete paving and patching, bridge and culvert construction, drainage construction, structure rehabilitation, concrete curbing and sidewalks, excavation services, and design-build delivery. Project values range from $2 million to $23 million per contract. Operations leverage a modern GPS-enabled fleet of excavators, rock trucks, bulldozers, and rollers for precision earthmoving, alongside a structured MY SAFETY behavioral-based safety program. Gulisek self-performs the majority of its work—including bridges, foundations, tunnels, drainage, and utilities—using approximately 35 full-time engineering, estimating, and administrative staff supplemented by an average of 150 unionized craftworkers during peak construction seasons.

Revenue is generated through fixed-price and cost-plus project contracts awarded via competitive public bidding and direct private engagement. The company was acquired by Lindy Paving after roughly 40 years of independent operation and now operates within the PJTC Holdings, Inc. family alongside sister companies The Lindy Group, Trumbull, and PJ Dick—collectively ranked among the top 100 general contractors in the United States. All craft labor is sourced through collective bargaining agreements with regional unions including the Carpenters Union, Cement Masons, Iron Workers, Laborers, International Union of Operating Engineers #66, and Teamsters.
