Government

A Century Of Know-How

As long-time municipal, state and federal constructors, our teams deliver high-impact projects for our government customers.

Whether at the city, county, state or federal level, we fully understand the requirements of designing and constructing facilities that deliver the highest value for dollars paid by our customers and taxpayers.

We’ve had a long history of that work too.

Walbridge has been working with government agencies since 1917, the year we built Selfridge Airfield north of Detroit.

Later, co-founder George Walbridge left our company in 1918 to accept a commission in the U.S. Reserve Engineer Corps during World War I.

He led large crews of engineers, tradesmen, and laborers to construct two massive camps used by the U.S. Army to train soldiers for deployment to Europe. During World War II, Walbridge built two urgently needed ammunition manufacturing complexes, which, combined, produced 20 percent of all ammunition used by the U.S. military in Europe and the Pacific.

Since then, our teams have worked with customers at a city, municipality, county, state and federal level to accomplish important things. Our work ranges too – from local renovations, water and sewer construction support, engineering and gas facilities to infantry brigade complexes, our team’s experience.

With a wide range of lessons learned and processed developed through leading-edge construction, our teams find ways to construct efficiently while finding ways to maximize the customers’ budgets.
