Southwest Virginia is a region defined by its rugged Appalachian terrain, tight-knit communities, and an economy in transition. As the coalfield region diversifies into new industries including tourism, technology, and renewable energy, the demand for reliable and modern utility infrastructure has never been greater. Pross Construction Company, Inc. is committed to meeting that demand with the same quality and professionalism we bring to every project across the Commonwealth.
Our crews work throughout the far southwestern corner of Virginia, from the twin cities of Bristol and Abingdon along the I-81 corridor to the remote mountain communities of Wise, Dickenson, Buchanan, and Lee counties. We understand that building and maintaining utility infrastructure in this region requires specialized expertise. Steep mountain grades, narrow hollows, limited road access, and extreme weather conditions all demand contractors with the right equipment, training, and determination to get the job done safely and efficiently.
Pross Construction partners with Appalachian Power, Powell Valley Electric Cooperative, and other regional utilities to deliver overhead distribution construction, transmission line work, substation upgrades, vegetation management, and emergency storm restoration. We are proud to support the communities of Southwest Virginia with infrastructure that improves reliability, supports economic development, and helps build a brighter future for the region.
