Heavy Earthwork Services Build for Complex Projects
Expert earthwork and reclamation services
With more than 50 years of experience and an equipment fleet built for large-scale work, CCU Coal & Construction delivers on the projects that demand the most. We specialize in landfill cell construction, mine reclamation, power plant ash disposal, and commercial site preparation — and we bring the same commitment to safety and quality to every cubic yard we move. From 100,000 yards to over 10 million — we can move it.
Heavy Civil Projects
CCU has built a strong portfolio of heavy civil work across Ohio and the surrounding region. From coal combustion residual removal to industrial site upgrades, our crews handle technically demanding projects with precision and professionalism. A few examples of our recent work:
Comprehensive Design-Build Capability
We don’t just execute — we help plan. CCU combines advanced technology with the deep experience of our technical team to offer true Design-Build services. That means one accountable partner from initial design through final grading, with less coordination friction and more efficient delivery for our clients.
CCU has built a strong track record executing abandoned mine land (AML) reclamation projects on behalf of public agencies. These projects require specialized knowledge of regulatory requirements, site conditions, and environmental restoration techniques — exactly the kind of complex work CCU was built to handle.
Every CCU construction project is planned and executed with environmental stewardship in mind. We’re not just meeting permit requirements — we’re actively working to protect the natural areas surrounding our project sites. Responsible construction and sustainable practices aren’t add-ons at CCU. They’re part of how we work.
Mass Excavation & Earthmoving — The Scale to Move What Others Can’t
Every major construction project starts with moving dirt — and how well that work gets done sets the tone for everything that follows. CCU Coal & Construction has spent over 50 years moving earth at scale, from large industrial site preparations to multi-million-yard civil projects. We have the heavy equipment inventory and the operational depth to handle excavation and earthmoving jobs that most contractors simply can’t match.
Whether you’re clearing and grading a greenfield site, cutting and filling for infrastructure, or managing complex material placement across a large footprint, CCU has the capacity to execute efficiently and the experience to anticipate what your project actually needs.
Purpose-Built Fleet
CCU operates a heavy equipment fleet scaled for large commercial and industrial projects — scrapers, dozers, excavators, and haul trucks deployed to match the production demands of your specific site. We don’t subcontract our core work. Our crews own the equipment and know how to run it.
Consistent Production Output
Large earthmoving projects live and die by daily production rates. CCU’s operational discipline and experienced field management keep crews productive, schedules on track, and clients informed. From 100,000 yards to over 10 million, we deliver consistent output throughout the life of a project.
Integrated Site Planning
We work closely with project engineers and owners from the start to optimize cut-fill balance, haul routes, and sequencing — reducing cost and minimizing surprises in the field. The earlier CCU is involved, the more value we can bring.
Safety-First Execution
CCU has earned multiple U.S. Department of Labor safety awards for outstanding incident rates. On a large earthmoving site, a strong safety culture isn’t just the right thing — it protects your schedule and your liability.
