OUR VISION

To be the icon of employee growth and development.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to provide infrastructure in the areas of underground utilities, structural repairs, and exploratory drilling.

WHO WE ARE

Established in 1993, Terra Contracting started from humble beginnings, operating out of the family garage. Ed McSwain, founder and CEO, having worked for 18 years with the largest underground utility contractor in Nevada, set out on his own. He was determined to bring a service-oriented approach to a field that was lacking customer focus.

As Terra has grown and expanded its areas of expertise, it has continued to innovate through collaboration with customers and vendors, project by project.

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.
