Marine Contracting Corporation was established in 1979 by Earl Haden and Bob Thompson. After working with B.F. Diamond and Rose Marine, for many years, decided to establish their own company in the marine construction industry in Hampton Roads. With extensive knowledge of pile driving and bridge building on projects such as the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel Return Bridge Spans, the High-Rise Bridge on I-64, and the Midtown Tunnel from Norfolk to Portsmouth, Marine Contracting rapidly developed into an extremely competitive General Contractor specializing in heavy marine and civil construction.

After over 45 years in business, Marine Contracting is proud to have completed hundreds of projects on the East Coast, from Georgia to Delaware. A relationship has been forged in each state with the Army Corps of Engineers, the Department of the Navy, the Department of Transportation, the US Coast Guard, State Port Authorities, Various Private Shipyards, and Local Utility Companies.

Marine Contracting prides itself on providing on-time, on-budget, high-quality projects, and directly attributes this to its experienced, professional employees. Along with the specialized marine equipment, Marine Contracting offers extensive knowledge in the maritime arena with its outstanding employees. At least 80% of current employees have been with this organization for over 20 years, and in some cases, employment has been passed down through generations.

With specialized equipment and extensive industry knowledge, Marine Contracting Corporation can undertake a wide range of Marine and Civil Projects. Our specialties include, but are not limited to: Pile Driving, Bridge and Pier Construction, Cofferdam Installation & Maintenance, Demolition, and Dredging.

The Marine Contracting Corporation corporate office, mooring, and storage yard is located near Dominion Boulevard Veterans Bridge in Chesapeake.
