GEORGE HARMS CONSTRUCTION CO INC

George Harms Construction Co Inc specializes in heavy civil engineering construction, with demonstrated expertise in the design and installation of waterfront infrastructure, including cantilever and tie-back sheet pile bulkhead walls. Their work centers on durable, hydraulically engineered retaining systems for coastal and riverfront applications, requiring precise geotechnical coordination, deep excavation techniques, and marine construction methodologies. The contractor’s technical proficiency includes the placement of steel sheet piling, anchoring systems, and structural integration with adjacent landforms to withstand hydrostatic pressure and erosion forces, particularly in sensitive environmental zones. Their capability extends to historic area preservation, where construction must align with cultural resource protection standards while maintaining structural integrity under challenging tidal and sediment conditions. The company has delivered projects for the Department of Defense, primarily focused on military-compatible waterfront improvements that support infrastructure resilience and public access in defense-adjacent communities. Their work reflects an understanding of DoD’s requirements for long-term durability, minimal environmental disruption, and compliance with military construction standards in urban waterfront settings. George Harms Construction operates within the NAICS 237990 category, which encompasses complex, non-building civil engineering projects such as marine structures, flood control systems, and shoreline stabilization. This positions them as a niche provider in coastal infrastructure, serving markets where engineering precision and environmental adaptability are critical. They focus on high-risk, high-impact civil works that demand specialized equipment and experienced crews familiar with marine construction protocols. As a small business structured as a 2L entity based in Howell, New Jersey, the company maintains a regional footprint with direct access to the Mid-Atlantic’s critical waterfront infrastructure corridors. While no federal certifications are listed, their project execution demonstrates alignment with federal construction standards through adherence to technical specifications and environmental mitigation protocols in defense-funded initiatives.
