Creating
wetlands and wildlife habitats is our specialty. This service
represents the final product that we work towards accomplishing and
where we are best able to showcase our talents. We have all of the
specialized equipment to allow us to work in mud, water and other
adverse conditions. ERI owns over 45 major pieces of tracked equipment
including rare low ground pressure floatation dozers and crawler
loaders. Another specialized machine is our 943 CAT floatation
highlift. This unit is one-of-a-kind, specially fabricated with a 13.5
foot wide bucket and 52” wide pads.
We
work as prime contractors on jobs where only these services are needed
or we work as subcontractors to major construction companies,
engineering companies or developers that “just don’t want to mess with
the mud”.
