Construction

Built to last, from the ground up — or down.

Acterra manages every aspect of fuel-systems construction — site evaluation, permitting, engineering, procurement, installation, and quality assurance — for federal and commercial clients alike. We build for a range of industries, including energy, manufacturing, transportation, and critical infrastructure, with an emphasis on efficiency, durability, and long-term performance.

Projects range from a single tank replacement at an existing site to a full ground-up fuel system build, and from a quick concrete patch to a complete catwalk rebuild. Acterra’s construction teams are built to handle both ends of that range without handing a customer off to a different crew partway through.

Our Process

  1. Site evaluation & permitting. We assess the site and coordinate the approvals a project needs before ground gets broken.
  2. Engineering & procurement. Design details get finalized and equipment gets sourced through our line card.
  3. Execution. Our field crews execute the build to code and to schedule.
  4. Quality assurance & turnover. Systems are tested and the customer receives full documentation.

Why Acterra?

Construction on fuel systems has no room for guesswork — a mistake underground is expensive and slow to fix. Our crews specialize in this work specifically, which is why customers bring us in for both new builds and the rehab jobs other contractors pass on. That range shows up in the project record: everything from Iowa Air and Army National Guard fueling facilities to airport fueling systems at Denver International and Des Moines International.

FAQ:

  • Does Acterra handle both design and construction?

    Yes — our process covers site evaluation and engineering coordination alongside installation, so one team manages the whole build.

  • Can Acterra work on an existing site, not just new construction?

    Yes. Tank-top rehabilitation, coatings, catwalks, and building repair are all common projects on sites that are already up and running.

  • What industries do you build for?

    Government, education, municipal, and commercial — from military installations to school bus fueling yards.
