35 years apart. Same operator. Same conveyor. Same kind of work.

The first photo dates back to 1991, on a sewer project in Traverse City, Michigan, where Diversco Construction, Inc. of Grand Rapids was putting this Kros Conveyor to work. The project was featured in the Michigan Contractor & Builder magazine.

Fast forward 35 years to our Airline Road project this fall, and you'll find Bob Lyttle operating the very same conveyor, doing the same type of work.

A lot has changed in the construction industry over the past 35 years. But sometimes, the old-school way of doing things still gets the job done.

35 years later, both the machine and the man are still hard at work.

It's been a busy few weeks on our Airline Road project but things are moving along nicely, with a little help from our old Kros Conveyor.

These machines date back to the late 1970s and early 1980s and were developed right here in West Michigan. They were designed specifically for backfilling utility trenches, particularly in tight areas where conventional backfill methods aren’t ideal.

We don’t use ours often, but when the job calls for it, it’s a great tool to have at our disposal.

Pretty impressive that a machine built more than 40 years ago can still earn its keep on a modern utility project.

Fall is coming and we're just getting started!

Our schedule is strong, our backlog is growing, and we’re rolling into fall full steam ahead.

If you’ve been thinking about making a career change, this might be the time. Competitive pay, solid benefits, and a 4-day work week. Come help build the infrastructure our communities depend on.

A little team outing last night at the Whitecaps game and we picked a good night for it with Dog Day at the ballpark.

Good weather, baseball, peanuts, dogs, and a chance to spend some time together away from the jobsite.

Thanks to everyone who came out. We’ve got a great crew at WMDW, and it’s nice to get everyone together outside of work.

Ready for a change?

West Michigan Dirtworks is looking for an experienced Excavator Operator to join our pipe crew.

We're looking for someone who knows their way around an excavator and has experience working around underground utilities, trenching, and pipe crews. This isn't an entry-level position. We're looking for an experienced operator who can step in and become a key part of an established crew.

Why Dirtworks?

• Top pay for experienced underground operators
• 4-day workweek — Monday through Thursday
• Health, dental & life insurance
• Retirement plan
• Paid vacation & holidays
• Consistent workload and steady hours
• A strong, established team
• Opportunities to grow with the company
• Fridays off

We know it's been a long summer in the construction industry. If you're an experienced operator who's ready for a change - or just ready to get your Fridays back - we'd like to talk.

Interested? Send us a message or apply today.

It's amazing how quickly a project can transform. This arial is from Tuesday afternoon. Just one day after breaking ground on Monday.

Behind every successful project is a team that takes pride in doing the job right. We're proud of the work our crews put in every day.

Looking forward to sharing the progress as this project in Sparta, MI comes together.

A few years ago, we made a decision that wasn't very common in the construction industry.

We chose to move to a 4-day work week because we believe the people who build our communities deserve time to enjoy them.

Construction is demanding work. During Michigan's busy season, the days can be long. That's part of the job, and we're proud of the work we do.

But we also believe your life shouldn't begin on Friday night.

A three-day weekend means time to catch up on projects around the house, schedule appointments without burning vacation time, spend more time with family, get up north a day early, or simply enjoy a three-day weekend. It also means one less day of commuting each week, saving time, fuel, and wear on your vehicle.

This isn't about working less. It's about creating a better balance while continuing to build the roads, neighborhoods, and infrastructure our communities depend on.

We believe you can build a great career without giving up the life you're working so hard to build.
