WHO THEY ARE:

We are a second-generation, family-owned business that has evolved from its origins as a fire line installer into a company that now offers comprehensive interior fire protection systems and turnkey site preparation services.

Founded over 40 years ago, the company was established to meet the growing demand for a reliable underground fire line contractor in the Puget Sound area, with a vision to build a business that would eventually expand into overhead fire sprinklers.

After 10 years, the company took the next step with the launch of its Fire Protection Division, initially focusing on warehouses and tenant improvements. By the early 1990s, we diversified into earthwork and underground utilities, completing both commercial and public sector projects. Throughout its growth, innovation and ingenuity played a crucial role in maintaining a competitive edge in these challenging industries.

Over the years, we have consistently broadened our range of services to include commercial buildings, schools, aerospace facilities, healthcare centers, shopping malls, and high-rise offices. Additionally, we have established a dedicated service department to handle the inspection, testing, maintenance, and repair of all types of fire protection systems.
