P. Gioioso & Sons Inc.

P. Gioioso & Sons is a Hyde Park heavy civil construction contractor that has built infrastructure in Massachusetts and surrounding states for more than 60 years. Its specialty is the hard jobs: very deep excavation, large diameter pipe, and combined pipe, roadway and bridge work in dense urban settings, at busy intersections and on riskier sites. Government agencies, municipalities and private companies hire it for both routine and complex projects that keep cities, towns and roads working.

Sewer, drain and water utilities have been the core of the business from the start, from sewerage systems and treatment plants to pumping and power stations, carried through to final paving, curbs and sidewalks. The company also builds roads and highways, bridges, underground electric and communications lines, railway bridges and marine projects along waterways. It self-performs nearly all of its heavy civil work, relying on experienced project managers and superintendents and creative use of heavy equipment.
