Our Partners

Flatiron Dragados is the North American heavy civil construction arm of the ACS Group, one of the world’s largest engineering and construction firms, and consistently ranked first overall on ENR’s Top 250 International Contractors list with 2023 revenues of more than $45 billion. In 2024, the ACS Group consolidated its presence in the North American heavy civil construction market by integrating Flatiron and Dragados. It created the U.S.'s second-largest domestic heavy civil contractor with unparalleled civil infrastructure experience and exceptional geographic scope. Combining the long histories of both Flatiron and Dragados (founded in 1947 and 1941, respectively), Flatiron Dragados brings a proven track record delivering some of the most significant, most complex projects in North America with a focus on rail/transit, bridges, highways, dams, tunnels, airports, water infrastructure, and ports/marine works. 

Flatiron Dragados specializes in large, complex projects. With over 6,000 employees and an extensive equipment fleet, Flatiron Dragados brings the requisite resources to deliver a project of this size in partnership with Aecon and the local contracting community. 

Flatiron Dragados’ Progressive Design-Build (PDB) experience and expertise are unmatched, having reached a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) on 100% of their collaborative delivery projects. 

Safety First. It's easy to tout the merits of one's safety program, but it's another thing entirely to truly develop a safety culture. Flatiron has achieved this and has been recognized accordingly. In 2022, Flatiron took home first place in the elite AGC National Construction Safety Excellence Award (shown to the right) competition in the Highway and Transportation Division for contractors with >80,000 work hours.
