Sukut Construction: Nation’s #1 Landfill Contractor

SANTA ANA, CALIF. (OCTOBER 3 , 2004) – Santa Ana-based Sukut Construction, Inc. is the nation’s #1 landfill contractor, according to the October 2004 issue of Engineering News Record (ENR), one of the nation’s leading engineering publications.

Sukut has completed 25 major landfill projects totaling $120 million, moved 1 Billion on cubic yards of earth, and installed more than 40 million square feet of Geogrid and slope liners. One of Sukut’s most remarkable landfill accomplishments involved the nation’s longest-burning tire fire (Tracy, Calif.) where more than seven million tires burned for two years, which Sukut extinguished in about two weeks. Sukut then safely disposed of the 50,000 cubic yards of contaminated materials.

Sukut is also ranked among the nation’s largest contractors, growing from a small Southern California earth-moving contractor to the 297th largest contractor in the nation, according to ENR, which also recognized Sukut as nation’s 110th largest environmental contactor.

Sukut’s revenues have grown 600% in 6 years. This outstanding growth earned Sukut the Emerging Growth Award from the Association for Corporate Growth.

Sukut’s growth has also prompted expansion into new regions with the opening of additional offices. In addition to expanding its offices in Orange County and Oceanside, it has opened offices in Van Nuys and Tracy, California.

Founded in 1968, Sukut Construction has been recognized with 30 major honors for its innovative, proprietary soils and earthwork logistics technology. Sukut’s expertise includes landfills, residential developments, world-renowned golf courses, storm and drainage systems, and highways throughout California.
