The story

2000 — Yuma, Arizona

Andres begins his career in the underground and excavation sector, building expertise across diverse soil types and the tailored excavation, sloping, and shoring techniques each one demands. His projects span new subdivisions with complete utilities, lift stations, industrial developments, municipal street improvements, and specialized work like power plant utilities.

2016 — Utah

His journey takes him to Utah, where he hones his grading skills on major highway construction and an innovative earth dam — a project notable for onsite mining and processing of aggregates using an array of screeners and crush plants.

2018 — Southern California

Andres brings his experience to Southern California, playing a pivotal role in commercial projects involving an extensive variety of piping materials: PVC, SDR 35, C900, CLMC, RCP, ductile iron, and electrical conduit — completed efficiently and safely.

Off the job site

A native of Somerton, Arizona, Andres is a family man first — married to his high school sweetheart for 27 years, father to two sons, Andy and Aaron, and grandfather to one grandson, Sai.
