This is Nelosca’s first time being named to this prestigious list, coming in at 14th place among small and mid-size companies. Earning a spot means that Nelosca is one of the best companies to work for in the country.
The Best Workplaces in Construction award is based on the analysis of survey responses from over 25,000 employees from Great Place to Work-Certified™ companies in the construction industry.

ROV stands for remotely operated vehicle. They are highly maneuverable unoccupied machines used to observe and work underwater, often in areas that are deemed too dangerous for commercial divers. ROV pilots can operate them from a nearby shore or boat.
Remotely operated vehicles are versatile tools commonly used in our industry to inspect, monitor underwater structures, and perform complex work tasks in depths divers cannot access. Although, more recreational ROVs are available with advancements in technology. These revolutionary machines are utilized by many industries to reduce costs to clients and keep divers safe in unknown or dangerous conditions.
Nelosca worked in collaboration with The Boys & Girls Club of Greater La Crosse (Boys & Girls Club), the Women’s Fund of Greater La Crosse, Wieser Brothers General Contractor (Wieser), and Mathy Construction (Mathy) to organize an annual field trip for local female members. The event offered young women an opportunity to experience working at Nelosca and to ask questions about working in the trades. It was a memorable day for all! Watch the video recap below:

Safety starts with putting people first.
It’s not just about checklists, inspections, and meetings, said Steve Skau, vice president of safety and compliance for Nelosca Technologies. It’s also about everyone on a job having the ability to give feedback and know it will be valued.
“Everything we do at Nelosca starts with safety, no matter what scope of work we’re doing,” Skau said.
Constructability reviews are imperative to project success. They can save you money, reduce the risk of cost escalation, and are often provided pro-bono by a good contractor. When it comes to requesting a contractor's constructability review, timing is important. If the review is performed too late, problems could result, including confusion surrounding the project, loss of significant time and money, and hefty change orders later in the project. The question then is: when is the optimal time to have a contractor perform a constructability review?
Nelosca Technologies (Nelosca) recently established a permanent presence in the Mid-South Region. Our company’s new Mid-South location is in Paducah, Kentucky, and will provide all Nelosca services, including above and below-water construction and environmental remediation services.
