Our operators are powering progress, one scoop at a time. #klbinc #construction #earthwork #operators
Our oilers and field mechanics are often unseen champions of our operation. Their dedication to maintaining our fleet of machines keeps us pushing ahead. #klbinc #construction #earthwork #mechanics #oilers
Everything you see here will be underground very soon. We will place infiltration chambers on top of this crushed rock pad and then backfill all the way up to that fence line. #klbinc #construction #earthwork #drainage

An office with a view! We are often taking meetings from the field, not tethered to a desk. #klbinc #construction #earthwork #bluecollar
Raise your hand if you love playing in the dirt 🙋♂️ #klbinc #construction #earthwork #operators
A bird’s-eye-view of our South County Recycling and Transfer Station project, in Algona. Once completed, this transfer station will serve folks living in Algona, Auburn, Federal Way, and Pacific. #klbinc #construction #earthwork #kingcounty
Dump trucks are a crucial element of our operation. KLB relies on our fleet of trucks to maintain our constant import and export of soil and aggregates at our projects. #klbinc #construction #earthwork #truckdriver
Anyone had the privilege of running one of these? This 815F is a very convenient two-in-one machine, as it can spread material and compact it. Usually found in landfills. #klbinc #construction #earthwork #heavyequipment
Take a look at our Monroe Ave Storm System Improvement project in Renton. A stormwater quality treatment facility and underground infiltration chambers on this site will handle stormwater from a 245 acre area in the Renton Highlands and President Park neighborhoods. As a bonus, you can see Boeing, Lake Washington, and the Seattle skyline in this photo! #klbinc #construction #earthwork #stormwater

In some of our sites – like this one – we have to navigate intersecting utilities in our work area. Communication between an operator and a spotter is critical for accessing these low visibility places. #klbinc #civilconstruction #earthwork #utilites
In case you were wondering if it’s time to put your rubber boots away… it’s not. Check back in June. #klbinc #civilconstruction #earthwork #excavator

Happy Leap day! What are you doing with this extra day? Us? We’re moving dirt 😎 #klbinc #leapday #civilconstruction #earthwork
Even with GPS grade control systems equipped on many of our machines, we still sometimes get out to confirm with our grade engineers and surveyors. Models are not perfect, and it is up to the humans doing the work to make informed decisions when there is a discrepancy. #klbinc #civilconstruction #earthwork #surveyor
Dozers aren’t just for moving dirt. Sometimes we drag logs with ours. This is an efficient way to transport logs across short distances, instead of loading a truck and trailer. #klbinc #civilconstruction #earthwork #dozers

"Give me clean dirt or give me death!" OK, so maybe not AS important as Liberty, but the new dirt will be clean and track will be oh-so-smooth. Today's contractor appreciation and shout out go to KLB Construction. After removing rocks and debris from the current track demolition, we knew that we needed more dirt. KLB has been gifting dirt and crushed asphalt for the reconstruction of the SeaTac Track and site areas. KLB had this to share with us: "As a family-owned business, we place the highest value on doing what’s right by our employees and the communities we work in. We are proud to be supporting the reconstruction of this great community asset" Thanks KLB for all you are doing for SeaTac BMX!
