Founded in 1975, by Richard Pierson who at the time was sixteen years old.
Pierson traded in his F150 pickup truck to purchase a backhoe. The company was incorporated in the state of New Jersey in 1980.

In 1985, the company was awarded a contract for the New Jersey Department Of Transportation project as a joint venture on the Route 295 project. In 1986, the company expanded its work into the State of Delaware and Pennsylvania.

In 1998, the first barges were purchased, and Pierson entered the market of marine projects.
