OUR VISION

To be the icon of employee growth and development.

OUR MISSION

To construct and maintain vital infrastructure that supports, connects, and enhances the communities we serve.

WHO WE ARE

Founded in 1993, Terra Contracting began with a simple mission: to deliver exceptional service in an industry often lacking a customer-focused approach. Operating out of the family garage, founder Ed McSwain drew on his 18 years of experience with Nevada’s largest underground utility contractor to build a company rooted in integrity, innovation, and collaboration.

Over the years, Terra Contracting has grown from its humble beginnings into a trusted leader in utility infrastructure installation and maintenance. Through close partnerships with customers and vendors, the company has expanded its expertise and embraced innovation to deliver project success, one step at a time.

Today, under the leadership of Justin Anderson, President and CEO, Terra Contracting continues its legacy of excellence. With a focus on customer satisfaction, operational efficiency, and teamwork, the company remains committed to advancing the industry and serving as a partner of choice for clients across the region.

WHATEVER IT TAKES

No project is too large or too small.

Most importantly, Terra will do whatever it takes to complete each required task. Performing with the highest level of integrity and total quality management, we’ll control our scope of work from initial trenching, to wire pull and site energizing, to final button-up, shaving valuable days from your construction schedule.

Completing a project to the benefit of all stakeholders requires a commitment from all parties to overcome the inevitable challenges that can arise during the course of construction. It is our goal to earn your complete confidence every step of the way.
