older parts of town that are upgrading their systems. Probably 99 percent is public work, but we will also do some private development and commercial-type projects." River Falls largest job to date The River Falls project is the company's largest and most difficult project to date. Crews started work at the end of April and finished in September. "We're replacing about 4,000 feet of trunk sanitary through town and approximately the same in storm sewer," said Mausolf. "We're also replacing a few thousand feet of watermain, and then putting in new curb, gutter and street. We have a subcontractor on the concrete work and Tower is doing the bituminous work for us." Because Three Rivers Construction is tied to Tower Asphalt, the company sometimes subcontracts with Tower for street work. |
Komatsu equipment, including this PC400LC-6 excavator from Road Machinery & Supplies Company, plays a key role in projects undertaken by crews from Three Rivers Construction. The company's fleet includes three Komatsu excavators and three Komatsu wheel loaders from RMS through veteran Territory Manager Gordon Johnson. Plus, Three Rivers has rented a variety of Komatsu machines from RMS to meet specific jobsite needs.
