With expertise spanning heavy-civil, transportation, marine, tunneling, and water and wastewater projects, Southland Holdings( Southland) is a leading US infrastructure construction company. Having delivered major, complex infrastructure across all 50 states, the company also maintains a global legacy through international project experience, bringing together deep expertise across multiple disciplines to build essential infrastructure that connects communities and supports long-term growth.

Southland was formed by uniting several long-established construction firms, each with a distinct and respected legacy in the infrastructure industry. These include American Bridge Company, founded in 1900 and renowned for delivering many of the world’ s most iconic steel and bridge structures; Johnson Bros. Corporation, established in 1929 and recognized for
its expertise in transportation, marine and industrial construction; Oscar Renda Contracting, founded in 1974 and known for its leadership in water pipelines and treatment facilities; and Southland Contracting and Mole Constructors, both legacy leaders in tunneling and underground construction. Together, these organizations form a diverse yet complementary portfolio of capabilities that underpin Southland’ s strength today.
“ Southland continued to evolve via a major corporate restructuring in 2023, when we became part of a publicly traded parent company, Southland Holdings, Inc,” says Tim Winn, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.“ In recent years, we’ ve focused our business strategy on our core strengths – heavy civil, water infrastructure, tunneling and structural work – while divesting certain non-core materials operations.
