THE CALEX STORY

WE PROVIDE ONLY THE BEST IN SERVICES IN OUR INDUSTRY

Calex (California Excavation) Engineering Company started as a small-scale subcontractor in February of 1975. Calex began with a skip loader and a ten-wheeler dump truck, performing only demolition and site work grading.


After over forty years, Calex has become the leading subcontractor for shoring and earthwork in Southern California. We install hundreds of thousands of square feet of shoring and export millions of cubic yards of soil each year. Our fleet consists of modern hydraulic drill rigs, tieback drill rigs, cranes, excavators, loaders, and numerous support equipment.


Calex's success comes from hard work, dedication to engineering, excellent work practices, and transparent communication with clients. We are skilled in handling several types of projects in our industry, specializing in earth retention, excavation, exporting, and foundation work, which sets us apart from our competitors. You can trust Calex to complete your project with precision and efficiency, on schedule, and with Safety First.


Our list of clients and projects all around Southern California is impressive, with premier and reputable developers and general contractors. Calex Engineering Company is unique, with only one office located in Santa Clarita. We have chosen to focus our efforts within the Southern California region, building strong client relationships that can withstand the fluctuations of the construction market.
