Capabilities:

Highway & Bridge

Shirley Contracting Company, LLC is a proven leader in highway and bridge construction in the Mid-Atlantic region.

No matter the size or scope of the project, the Shirley team is ready to mobilize and complete the job safely, on-time and within budget. Our crews are experienced in constructing all aspects of roadway projects including excavation and grading, utilities, storm sewer, aggregate subbase, retaining walls, box culvert, and bridge construction.

Heavy & Civil

Heavy civil construction comprises all facets of what we do at Shirley Contracting Company, LLC. We have the expertise, creativity, personnel, and equipment for the most challenging and unique types of projects. Our heavy civil experience includes all types of deep foundations, ground improvements, support of excavation, retaining walls, sound walls, structures of all types, storm sewers, and box culverts. In addition, Shirley has successfully completed several projects involving railroad relocation and bridge construction.

UTILITY INFRASTRUCTURE

Coupled with our heavy civil capabilities, Shirley Contracting Company, LLC has the in-house resources to design, manage and construct virtually all types of underground utility services and relocations. With dedicated crews performing this work on a daily basis, the Shirley team excels at completing complex and challenging water, sewer, drainage, and duct bank services for a variety of clients. In addition, our in-house Utility Management group specializes in the management and coordination of public and private utility relocations and services in support of our design-build endeavors for companies such as Dominion Virginia Power, NOVEC, Verizon, and multiple fiber optic companies, and Washington Gas.

SITE DEVELOPMENT

Supplementing our road and bridge experience, Shirley has, for over 50 years, provided successful site development services to clients in the Mid-Atlantic region. So successful in fact, that in 1999, Metro Earthworks, a Shirley division, was formed to focus primarily on this market. Metro Earthworks has successfully serviced private and public clients with the ability to tackle any size and scale of the site development project. Metro has quickly grown into a well known and deeply respected multi-faceted site-work contractor managing multiple active projects simultaneously. Metro’s experienced management teams and skilled workforce deliver on various project requirements ranging from turn-key design/build site delivery of residential neighborhoods and commercial site developments to primarily earth moving/deep foundation urban projects in accordance with various client requirements.

DESIGN-BUILD

As an alternate method of project delivery, Design-Build and Public/Private Partnerships are quickly becoming a preferred option for many Owners. These delivery vehicles can save years off of the project schedule, promote creativity and innovation, reduce overall project costs, foster a partnering environment, and provide Owners with alternative financing options not available otherwise. For more than 20 years, Shirley has been the leader in the Mid-Atlantic market in successfully providing these services to a variety of clients. Our turn-key approach to performing all of the project elements in an integrated fashion reduces project risks to the client, saves client resources, creates project efficiencies, and delivers the project much faster than conventional methods. Shirley has the in-house capabilities to manage the design and engineering, permitting, right-of-way acquisition, utility relocation, quality assurance/ control, and, of course, construction in a seamless delivery. Further enhancing our PPP capabilities is our ability to bring competitive project financing to the overall project solution.
