NETCO Construction Project Managers, Inc. was established in 1991 as a construction project management firm. Since then we have worked for many clients with a wide variety of project management requirements. In 1998, we introduced our Specialty Construction division which focuses on coastal erosion control and wetland restoration work.

Coastal Construction

Our Coastal Construction division focuses on shoreline and inland marine projects. NETCO pioneered the use of biodegradable coir and jute fabrics for White Cliffs shoreline and coastal bank stabilization where traditional “hard” engineering solutions cannot be used. We also install stone revetments, groins, gabions, and sandrift fencing. In addition to erosion control activities, NETCO’s Coastal Construction projects include the construction of coastal bank stairways, boardwalks and pedestrian bridges, and non-marine work, such as the installation of livestock and deer fencing, and wetland restoration/replication.

Project Management

Our Project Management division focuses on the management of public and private building projects and includes new construction of all types, restoration and rehabilitation of historic structures, and adaptive re-use of both conventional and historic buildings. We have worked on projects as small as $2,500 to those exceeding $200 million, with our primary assignments generally in the $1 million to $20 million range. Our project management assignments have included town halls, libraries, schools, public safety facilities, condominiums, and shopping malls.
