ABOUT US
WHO WE ARE
Established in 1992, 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 site energizing and wire pull, 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.
Our Vision
To be the icon of employee growth and development.
Our Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide for infrastructure in the areas of underground utilities, structural repairs, and exploratory drilling.
