At Helm, we believe every bridge tells a story of innovation, precision, and resilience. With decades of expertise and a portfolio featuring some of the Midwest’s most complex and celebrated structures, we set the gold standard for highway infrastructure. Whether it’s a simple box culvert or a sprawling multi-span river crossing, we deliver results that stand the test of time.
Our team blends generations of craftsmanship with modern technology. Equipped with one of the nation’s largest fleets of cranes, barges, and excavators, we tackle challenges others won’t. From pre-construction planning to ribbon-cutting ceremonies, Helm is your steadfast partner, committed to engineering excellence and client success.
“Helm thrives on tackling complex, high-stakes projects,” says Mark Helm, Helm Civil President. “Our commitment to integrity and exceptional work has built relationships we cherish. Clients trust us because we deliver, no matter the challenge.”
It’s this spirit of collaboration that dries us to excel, ensuring every project not only meets but exceeds expectations. With a legacy rooted in precision and innovation, Helm is the bridge builder you can rely on.
Safety is more than a priority—it’s our responsibility. Helm’s Enterprise Safety Program ensures every task, no matter how routine, is approached with care, precision, and the highest standards. From protecting our employees to safeguarding our partners and communities, we create an environment where excellence thrives without compromise.
“We employ some of the highest quality tradespeople performing some of the highest-risk tasks in the industry,” said Brian Helm, CEO. “We learned decades ago that we needed to plan each activity as if we were working inside a 40-foot-deep cofferdam with a rising river – or manipulating 48-inch steel pipe high in the air. When we plan the simplest activities as if they are the most difficult, it gives us an unmatched and unwavering mindset of efficiency meeting safety.” Learn more about our approach to safety and the KPIs we measure against.
