What We Build
FULL-SCOPE INDUSTRIAL CONSTRUCTION
From greenfield facilities to complex brownfield retrofits — DIG delivers across every phase of heavy commercial and industrial construction.
ONE CONTRACTOR. EVERY SCOPE.
Dodson Industrial Group self-performs across a broad range of construction disciplines. That means fewer handoffs, tighter coordination, and a single accountable team from mobilization to final walk. Whether you need a complete facility built from the ground up or a specialized crew for a critical scope, DIG has the people and the experience to get it done.
Core Capability
INDUSTRIAL CONSTRUCTION
DIG's core capability is heavy industrial construction. We manage complex, multi-discipline projects from initial site prep through final commissioning — coordinating civil, structural, mechanical, and specialty scopes under one accountable team. Our crews are experienced in the demanding environments of petrochemical, energy, and heavy manufacturing, where schedule pressure and safety requirements are non-negotiable.
- Greenfield facility construction
- Brownfield expansion and retrofit
- Multi-discipline self-performance
- Owner-direct and GC subcontract delivery
- Modular and stick-built construction
- Commissioning support
Site Preparation
CIVIL & SITE WORK
Every project starts with the ground. DIG's civil crews handle all phases of site preparation — from initial clearing and grading through underground utility installation, storm drainage, paving, and final site improvements. We operate our own heavy equipment and self-perform the work, keeping schedules tight and quality in our own hands.
- Site clearing and demolition
- Mass grading and earthwork
- Underground utilities (water, sewer, storm)
- Concrete paving and flatwork
- Drainage and retention systems
- Site improvements and final grading
Steel Erection
STRUCTURAL STEEL
Steel is the backbone of industrial construction, and DIG's ironworkers bring the skill and experience to erect it safely and precisely. We coordinate with fabricators, manage material logistics, and execute erection on schedule — whether it's a simple equipment support structure or a multi-story process building with complex connection details.
- Structural steel erection
- Miscellaneous metals and handrail
- Equipment support structures
- Pipe racks and process structures
- Pre-engineered metal buildings
- Anchor bolt setting and grouting
Concrete Work
CONCRETE
Industrial concrete is not residential concrete. DIG's crews are experienced in the heavy foundations, thick slabs, equipment pads, secondary containment, and elevated structures that industrial facilities demand. We work from engineered drawings, coordinate with structural engineers on critical pours, and deliver concrete that performs for the life of the facility.
- Deep foundations and pile caps
- Equipment pads and anchor bolt setting
- Industrial slabs and flatwork
- Secondary containment and sumps
- Elevated decks and process structures
- Tilt-up and precast coordination
Mechanical Installation
MECHANICAL & EQUIPMENT
Mechanical installation in industrial facilities requires precision, coordination, and crews who understand the equipment they're setting. DIG handles rotating equipment setting and alignment, process piping, HVAC, and mechanical systems — working closely with equipment vendors and process engineers to ensure every installation meets specification and performs as designed.
- Rotating equipment setting and alignment
- Process and utility piping
- HVAC and mechanical systems
- Pressure vessels and heat exchangers
- Pumps, compressors, and drives
- Insulation and heat tracing
Plant Services
MAINTENANCE & TURNAROUNDS
Downtime is expensive. DIG provides planned maintenance programs, turnaround support, and ongoing facility services that help industrial operators maintain reliability and extend asset life. Our maintenance crews are familiar with the demands of live plant environments — working safely around operating equipment, meeting tight turnaround windows, and minimizing production impact.
- Planned maintenance programs
- Turnaround and outage support
- Corrective and emergency maintenance
- Equipment overhaul and replacement
- Scaffolding and access
- Insulation and coating maintenance
Specialty Scopes
SPECIALTY CONSTRUCTION
Some scopes require specialized knowledge, certified crews, and quality programs that go beyond standard construction. DIG's specialty construction capabilities include refractory installation, industrial insulation, fireproofing, protective coatings, and other technical scopes that are critical to facility performance and safety. We bring the same accountability to specialty work as we do to every other scope.
- Refractory installation and repair
- Industrial insulation systems
- Fireproofing (cementitious and intumescent)
- Protective coatings and linings
- Cathodic protection
- Specialty welding and alloy work
