Shimmick Corporation (Shimmick) delivers turnkey solutions that are designed to strengthen the water market, as well as other critical infrastructure markets, including energy, climate resiliency and sustainable transportation.
The company integrates technical excellence with collaborative project delivery methods to provide innovative, technology-driven infrastructure solutions that seek to accelerate economic growth and empower communities nationwide.
The company and its legacy companies have a long history of successfully completing complex water and other critical infrastructure projects, ranging from advanced wastewater recycling and purification system to dams, locks and transit systems. The company’s business includes construction operations from Morrison Knudsen and Washington Group International, which were consolidated in 2017 by AECOM.
Projects
The company selectively focuses on the following types of infrastructure projects:
Water Treatment and Resources
Water and Wastewater Treatment. The company expands, rehabilitates, upgrades, builds and rebuilds water and wastewater treatment infrastructure, including desalination plants. The company implements treatment technologies, including ozonation, biological activated carbon, membrane filtration, reverse osmosis, chemical treatment, and oxidation. The company’s projects aim to ensure access to clean and safe drinking water, protect public health and reduce waterborne diseases and contribute to protecting the environment by removing pollutants and contaminants from wastewater before it is released back into ecosystems.
Water Resources. The company constructs, rehabilitates and upgrades dams, reservoirs, and water conveyance and storage systems. This includes flood control systems, pump stations, and coastal protection infrastructure. Select projects of the company enable reliable water supply, generate hydroelectric power, and control flooding, ensuring water availability and energy security. The company’s work contributes to protecting communities from flood damage to safeguard lives, property and infrastructure.
Other Critical Infrastructure
The company builds, retrofits, expands, rehabilitates, operates and maintains its nation’s critical infrastructure, including mass transit, bridges and military infrastructure. The company works on projects that are vital for economic growth, social connectivity, and accessibility. The company’s projects enable smooth and efficient movement of people and goods, foster trade, address environmental sustainability and improve quality of life for individuals and communities. Within critical infrastructure, the company is focused primarily on the following types of projects:
Climate Resilience. The company builds and upgrades levees, flood walls, pump stations, drainage systems, and strengthen existing infrastructure both in preparation to withstand severe weather events and in response to such events to facilitate recovery.
Transportation and Mobility. The company constructs mass transit systems (light passenger rail and bus rapid transit), autonomous transportation solutions (personal rapid transit, autonomous fixed guideway people movers, and implement intelligent transportation technologies.
Energy Transition. The company modifies facilities to accommodate electric vehicle fleets for transit agencies and municipalities, implement renewable energy components in the company’s projects, and support data center construction.
Industry and Addressable Markets
The company’s core markets continue to benefit from long-term trends, including the impact of climate change and the deterioration of aging infrastructure. These trends have led to a renewed focus in recent years on infrastructure development and funding in the United States, including in the company’s primary markets: water infrastructure, climate resilience projects, transportation systems and energy transition facilities.
Customers
The company’s customers are predominantly in the public sector and include a broad base of federal agencies (military and civilian), municipal water and wastewater districts, irrigation districts, flood control districts, local and regional transit authorities, and statewide, county and city public works departments. The company also performs work for private clients, such as developers, utilities and owners of industrial, commercial and residential sites. The company serves as both prime contractors and subcontractors on projects.
Throughout the company’s history, the company has maintained and cultivated a strong presence in California. In 2024, more than half of the company’s revenue was generated in California, the largest construction market in the United States.
Business and Growth Strategy
In 2024, the company focused on simplifying its business with an emphasis on liquidity, capital efficiency and effective execution of the company’s projects. To that end, the company executed several notable transactions:
Settlements of two major claims at the Chickamauga Lock and Golden Gate Bridge projects.
Divestiture of the company’s foundation drilling assets and sale-leaseback of the company’s equipment yard.
Reached an agreement with AECOM to resolve a previous lawsuit relating to the purchase and sale agreement for the divestiture of Shimmick from AECOM in exchange for shares of the company’s common stock.
These strategic transactions and agreements provided the company with additional liquidity and allow the company to further focus its efforts on growing the company’s core business.

The company is subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the environment, including those relating to discharges to air, water and land, the handling and disposal of solid and hazardous waste, the handling of underground storage tanks and the cleanup of properties affected by hazardous substances. The company is also subject to compliance with numerous other laws and regulations of federal, state and local agencies and authorities, including those relating to workplace safety, wage and hour and other labor issues (including the requirements of the OSHA and comparable state laws), immigration controls, vehicle and equipment operations and other aspects of the company’s business.
