Nicholson Construction

Will you be to ASDSO on Wednesday, September 2? We've got a session (and a giveaway) you won't want to miss. Join our very own Project Manager, Mamoun Laraki in collaboration with Colin Young from Freese and Nichols as they deep dive into the Eucha Dam Project. They’ll share the challenges, breakthroughs, and teamwork that turned a complex project into a success story. As if the session wasn't interesting enough, we're adding a little extra incentive. Stop by our 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐡 𝟓𝟏𝟕 or the Freese and Nichols booth before the presentation to grab a raffle ticket for a chance to win a gift card during the session! We also will have our legendary Dam T-shirts on hands but these go very very quick so head to our booth on the first day of the conference if you want to grab one!! See you there, and may the dam odds be ever in your favor. #BuildOnUs #ASDSO2026

Legend has it there's a booth at ASDSO 2026 where dam experts, great conversations, and legendary dam t-shirts come together. Hint: it’s Booth 517. Bring your toughest dam challenge, your best field story, or just your curiosity. We're looking forward to connecting in Raleigh, NC. See you there! #BuildOnUs #ASDSO2026

Charging into a new project⚡ We're electrified to be part of the AEP Broadford Substation Expansion near Saltville, VA. Over the next 3 separate mobilizations, our team will be helping build the foundation for this key expansion project, supporting the continued growth and reliability of the power grid. Time to get to work and bring our deep foundation expertise to the next chapter of this critical facility's story! Here's to a safe, successful project and a partnership with New River Electrical Corporation that will generate plenty of positive energy along the way. #BuildOnUs #ItsElectric

It's Monday and it's time for Another Dam Good “Built On Us” Story: Boone Dam Built in the 1950s on karstic bedrock filled with voids, crevices, rock pinnacles, and soft soils, the dam's foundation provided countless pathways for seepage beneath the embankment. Addressing those conditions required a solution as complex as the geology itself. We constructed an extensive grout curtain using resonant sonic drilling, MPSP installation, bedrock drilling, water pressure testing, and high mobility grouting. More than 200,000 gallons of grout were injected deep into the foundation to seal seepage pathways and strengthen the ground below. The project also included construction of an 840-foot-long secant pile cutoff wall extending up to 170 feet below grade. Installed through the embankment and into the underlying karst formation, the overlapping concrete piles created a continuous barrier designed to cut off water flow through the foundation. Together, the cutoff wall and grout curtain formed a powerful one-two punch against seepage. When water finds a way, we find a solution! #BuildOnUs #SeepageMitigation

Construction of the new pump station at the Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati's Mill Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant continues to move full speed ahead.   Despite Mother Nature trying to join the party with the Derecho storms across Ohio, we've now completed 10 of 35 panels, poured more than 3,000 CY of concrete, and installed over 300 tons of reinforcement steel. The progress speaks for itself!   Most importantly, everyone kept safety front and center while keeping the momentum going. Win, win! #BuildOnUs #PumpingUpProgress

Great Projects Start with Great People👷♂️👷♀️ As our work continues to grow across the country, so does our team. We’re looking for Estimators, Project Engineers, QC Managers, Superintendents, and Travel Mechanics who are ready for their next opportunity. At Nicholson, we take on some of the toughest geotechnical challenges, delivering innovative solutions that support critical infrastructure nationwide. If your idea of a good day includes building cool things and exploring new corners of the country while you're at it, let’s talk!

A few grout cubes a day keep the surprises away! Those little cubes might be small, but they sure are mighty. Think of them as the grout's audition. When the cubes pass the test, it confirms the mix is meeting the design requirements. Once grout is placed, it bonds soil and rock, transfers loads, protects steel from corrosion, and helps micropiles, anchors, and other geotechnical elements function the way they were intended to. After all, confidence is built on proof, not assumptions. That’s why you can Build On Us. #BuildOnUs #GroutCubes

After two years of interning, countless site visits, working alongside our PMs, and digging into estimating, Samantha Achille has proven she can handle just about anything the construction industry throws her way. She has jumped into every opportunity to learn and make an impact. So...this winter, she's trading her intern title for full-time Project Engineer! We’d say her career has been under construction, but honestly, she's already built something pretty impressive. Congratulations, Sami! Your internship may be complete, but the next phase is just getting started👷♀️ #BuildOnUs #BuildingTheFuture

Next up in our Built On Us series: a project that knocked it out of the park⚾ When the Baltimore Orioles pitched the idea to expand left field at the iconic Oriole Park at Camden Yards, we stepped up to the plate. Our team designed and built a 3,000-square-foot soil nail wall, installing more than 130 soil nails to support the left field wall. With a tight deadline and one of baseball's most recognizable stadiums as the backdrop, our crew delivered a winning solution. The finished wall now sits behind the outfield padding, helping set the stage for future highlight reels and homeruns. #BuildOnUs #OriolePark #SoilNailWall

Hard hats off to Luca Barison! He did a great job capturing why early collaboration is one of the most effective tools for navigating uncertainty in complex geotechnical projects.👏 #BuildOnUs
