Gallagher & Burk Inc.Gallagher & Burk Inc.Gallagher & Burk Inc.Gallagher & Burk self-performs excavation and fine grading for a variety of residential, commercial, industrial, and public works projects. Our talented team of professionals have the experience and resources needed to develop and perform the optimal sequence of grading to meet our clients’ needs and schedules. Before any dirt is moved, our in-house engineering department provides an earthwork quantity analysis and collaborates with our client and the designer to balance the site and minimize import and offhaul quantities, reducing the cost of construction. It is with our field oversight team that our expertise is directly applied in the field and where critical safety, logistical and operational needs are met.
Grinding and paving work is at the core of our business. Our skilled laborers and operators work in tight collaboration with our asphalt hot plant, quality control engineers, grade control specialists, equipment support, and transportation drivers to deliver a quality product each and every time. We utilize the latest technology, including GPS modeling, UTS and sonic ski sensors, to produce grinding and paving of the highest quality that exceeds our clients’ requirements. Over the years, we have completed grinding and paving projects for a variety of private and public clients including the City of Oakland, the Port of Oakland, SSA terminal, County of Alameda, Caltrans, and the City of Berkeley – just to name a few.

The knowledge gained by working on rail infrastructure projects has given us a unique understanding of how to work on and within Union Pacific Railroad property and facilities, as well as the knowledge of the safety and security aspects of working within Union Pacific Railroad right of way.
We provide Design-Build project delivery services where Gallagher & Burk works with the design team as one entity under a single contract with the project owner, providing integrated design and construction services. When performing Design-Build projects, we collaborate with the client and all stakeholders, plan the project with the owner’s vision in mind, develop the construction plans, provide feedback on the project’s design, value engineer, schedule, and budget. This design process and value engineering approach allows us to offer innovative solutions while holding a high level of confidence in the project’s timeline and budget.
After plans are developed and approved by the project owner, we manage all subcontractors, contracts, budgets, schedules, and specifications. With a goal to always meet and exceed client expectations, our tenured construction management team skillfully guides the work, ensuring the project owner’s vision becomes reality. Compared to traditional construction methods, Design-Build contracts result in projects that are faster, more cost effective, higher quality, and easier to administrate.
Gallagher & Burk (G&B) was a partner on two Fisher Construction led design/build projects in the Port of Oakland. I commend the performance of G&B on the Cool Port and CenterPoint Landing projects in the Port of Oakland, California. These projects were by no means a standard design, straight-forward greenfield construction projects. When selected for the project, through competitive bid processes, G&B was a partner and worked with our team to solve a multitude of operational and site challenges before breaking ground. G&B, as a partner to Fisher, helped in finding solutions to a wide range of issues, including integrating rail transfer, large scale ground improvement processes, mass excavation, and site improvements. G&B assisted in navigating the complex permitting requirements of the Port and City, all of which needed to occur before getting the first foundation poured. G&B has been a great partner to Fisher Construction Group, and we look forward to continuing our relationship on future projects.
