Civil Construction : General Contracting

Russelville Road Project


Jewel Wetlands Project


Colorado Springs Country Club

Pioneer Sand Company, Inc. does a wide variety of General Contracting projects, including, CDOT, Drainage Way Remediation, Trails and Parks, Infrastructure, and Golf Courses. These projects typically originate from Federal, State, County and private owners along the front range of Colorado.

Pioneer has done CDOT projects as far out as Cheyenne Wells, Colorado and County projects right here in El Paso County and Douglas County. Some of the area road improvements consist of Baptist Road, Akers Road and Waynoka Road in El Paso County and Russellville, Tenderfoot, Mohawk, Piney Creek, Travois Trail, and Tomahawk Roads in Douglas County. These projects consisted of mountain clearing, cut and fill operations, drainage way improvements, rock excavation, retaining walls, dewatering, roadbase installation, and asphalt paving.

Similar to the State and County General Contracting we have worked on several local infrastructure projects for area developers and builders. Projects have included new utilities, box culverts, pad construction/preparation, concrete flatwork, curb and gutter, asphalt paving, and complete signage and striping packages. These large infrastructure projects have been completed on both private developments and federal facilities, such as, Fort Carson and Peterson AFB.

General Contracting for the City of Colorado Springs and Urban Drainage in Denver Colorado has primarily consisted of drainage improvements and erosion protection in area water ways. Most projects consisted of large boulder drop structures, sheet pile cut off walls, concrete walls, stacked boulder walls, utility relocations, and complete re-vegetation according to Corp. of Engineers permitting. Two major challenges included relocating an active 30" sewer main across Cottonwood Creek, and protecting a 60" sewer line in the middle of Fountain Creek while constructing the drop structure. Pioneer Sand has also been an available source for the City of Colorado Springs during spring runoff events that have jeopardized area utilities. Quick mobilization and access to local resources in emergency situations has enabled us to help in the stabilization of sewer lines uncovered by severe weather events along the Sand Creek corridor.

Pioneer Sand Company, Inc. has also worked on several trail projects in the local area as well. Creek walk Trail in Manitou was completed in 2010. General Contracting with the City of Colorado Springs, City of Manitou and Manitou High School proved to be a successful venture between multiple owners along the back of the high school baseball field. Pioneer has worked on several trails in the Denver area including the award winning Jewel Wetlands project in Aurora Colorado where a local volunteer day helped complete the roadbase trail through the native surroundings and newly completed pond.

Some specialty projects consisted of the Driving range at the Broadmoor resort and the pond changes at the Colorado Springs Country Club.
