About Cooper Contracting
We set a high standard for ourselves, in every service we offer. When it comes to the railroad trades we specialize in, we self-perform most –if not all– of the task in front of us. With limited involvement from subcontractors, we have better control of the schedule and are more easily able to achieve the high quality of work that we are known for.
With Quality Assurance & Quality Control programs in place on each project, Cooper Contracting has helped countless governmental, agricultural and industrial customers complete successful projects. Whether we are providing excavation, demolition, rigging services, bridge design/builds, or ditching and sitework; Cooper Contracting ensures that the highest standards are met.
Our History
In 1982, Charles “Sonny” Cooper started a small company with only one backhoe, and one tow truck. What began as a small business performing Maintenance-of-Way for Norfolk Southern has grown into a thriving operation that delivers a wide range of services, all across the Midwest.
To ensure that we are holding ourselves to the highest possible standard, we implement Quality Assurance and Quality Control programs with every project
