People building for People.

That's what we do at Barnard. Whether we're raising a dam in Alaska, constructing a reservoir in Texas, tunneling under downtown San Francisco, repairing a penstock in British Columbia, or strengthening and improving the integrity of a natural gas pipeline in a Sacramento suburb, our people arrive at our projects with a determination to do the best for their communities and be the best in the industry.

Our work also encompasses hydropower, power transmission, marine, water and sewer pipeline, and environmental construction. Most often our projects include several of these elements. They always present a challenge. They affect our neighbors as well as our families. We live where we work, so we come to know our projects personally. We build for People.

Joint Efforts

In 2013, Barnard's oil and gas pipeline Team joined efforts with Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) to strengthen and improve the integrity and safety of PG&E’s natural gas transmission system in Northern California through a dedicated Pipeline Safety Enhancement Project (PSEP). By year’s end, we’d completed 14 of these PG&E Alliance projects.

Start to Finish

We start projects ahead of the game by having the same team that bids the work and plans the approach go into the field to carry it out. Whether you’re working with our Power Transmission Team or any of our other areas of expertise, you’ll find our cradle-to-grave approach leads to a quick start and a high quality end product.

Building the Future

Tunneling just 12 feet beneath the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) subway tunnels requires precision in planning and execution. Our Central Subway Tunnel Team applied the latest technology in tunneling, ground pre-conditioning and geotechnical and structural instrumentation to ensure this crossing was a success.
