COMPANY SUMMARY
Key Contracting, Inc was founded in 2002. The company has six divisions: Concrete, Drilling,
Power Line, Manhole Rehabilitation, Underground and Flooring. Key Contracting is a regional
contractor. We routinely work in North Dakota, Minnesota, South Dakota, Iowa, Wyoming,
Colorado and Montana.
Several of Key’s clients are world class manufacturers that require annual, independent review of
a contractor before they are allowed in the manufacturing facility. As such, our safety program,
insurance, bonding, company policies, and workers comp ratings are examined each year by
independent agencies. We have always been allowed access as a result of these examinations.
Our broad range of capabilities and equipment allows Key Contracting to self perform most of
the work we have under contract. This results in a single point of contact for the owner which
simplifies project scheduling and accelerates completion dates.
CONCRETE DIVISION
Our experienced Superintendents, Foremen and Finishers are reason Key’s concrete work is
second to none. Key Contracting will meet your concrete needs from small, decorative patios to
large commercial or industrial projects.

POWER LINE DIVISION
Key owns a fleet of bucket trucks, digger derricks and support equipment used in the
construction of overhead electrical transmission and distribution power lines. Our experience
includes emergency storm repair and rebuilds; work in new or existing electrical substations; line
rebuilds and conversions; pole change outs; phase raising; terminating and general maintenance.
Key’s journeymen and apprentices participate in the Merchant Program, an industry leader in
lineman education and certification.
Due to Key’s diverse capabilities, Key is able to self perform construction activities not usually
within the wheelhouse of a traditional utility company. Key routinely does concrete work, road
construction, rehabilitation of concrete structures and installation of drilled piers. Having these
additional services in-house allows projects to flow smoothly without delays caused by
subcontractor scheduling.

DRILLING DIVISION
Key owns state of the art drilling equipment with all of the bits, sleeves, slurry equipment,
pumps and machinery required to deliver a turn-key drilled foundation project. We have also
been the drill contractor where our responsibility is to drill the hole and leave others to place the
rebar, concrete and finish the completed pier.
Key has drilled and poured piers for electrical transmission lines, wind energy projects, electrical
transformer stations, cell towers and signs.
Our excavator mounted Lodrill allows us to reach places and work in conditions that would be
impossible to access with more traditional drilling equipment.
Key is able to drill foundations with diameters to 126 inches and depths to 50 feet.
OUR EXCAVATOR MOUNTED DRILL HAS CAPACITY TO DRILL DIAMETERS TO 126”.

MANHOLE REHABILITATION
Key is equipped with a state-of-the-art spin casting machine for manhole rehabilitation projects.
The spin cast operation takes high strength mortar and pumps it through a high speed rotating
head that slams the concrete onto the walls of the existing manhole. The mortar may then be
coated with an optional, chemical resistant epoxy coating.
Key Contracting routinely takes the leakiest pre-cast or brick manhole and makes it stronger and
more chemical resistant than new in less than two hours. The repair is done without cutting up
the street. In almost all cases, the manhole is not even taken out of service.
Manhole rehabilitation typically saves our clients 35% over manhole replacement.

UNDERGROUND DIVISION
Key has the experience and equipment to perform traditional sewer and water work. We
routinely perform utility repairs for residential, commercial, municipal and industrial clients.
Our excavator inventory includes machines with operating weights from 10,000 pounds to
110,000 pounds which means we have the right tools to perform small utility repairs to major
utility expansions.
Key uses traditional methods of utility installation as well as directional boring and pipe bursting
when site conditions require minimal disruption.

FLOORING DIVISION
Key has the equipment to install epoxy floors, polished concrete floors and rehabilitate
commercial or industrial floors.
Key has installed over 1,000,000 square feet of epoxy floors in industrial settings, commercial
and residential garages, entries into public buildings, bath houses at swimming pools, residential
and public bathrooms, bars and restaurants. The epoxy floor is highly desirable because the floor
is impervious, easy to clean and non-slip.
