Government and defense

We deliver proven geotechnical construction solutions for government and defense facilities where security, reliability, and mission continuity are critical.

Government and defense projects often involve construction in active, secure environments with limited access, complex logistics, and heightened safety protocols. Keller works closely with owners, engineers, and contractors to deliver geotechnical solutions that support new construction, upgrades, and remediation while maintaining operational continuity. 

Geotechnical construction solutions for secure facilities

Keller offers a broad range of geotechnical construction techniques that can be adapted to government and defense applications. Through an integrated design‑build approach, we develop constructible, cost‑effective solutions based on site‑specific conditions, access limitations, and long‑term performance needs.

Our work supports foundations, ground improvement, earth retention, and below‑grade construction for administrative buildings, secure facilities, infrastructure, and utility systems. Keller collaborates closely with project teams to sequence work efficiently while adhering to site security, safety, and compliance requirements. 

Keller's experience working on government projects

Keller has supported government and defense projects across North America, delivering geotechnical solutions for federal, state, and local agencies as well as defense‑related facilities. Our experience working in secure, operational environments enables us to execute work safely while maintaining access controls, security protocols, and facility operations.

This experience enables Keller to deliver reliable geotechnical solutions that support long‑term performance while meeting the stringent expectations of government and defense clients. We are registered with the Defense Logistic Agency’s Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) system and have completed over 100 contracts for the US Army Corps of Engineers.

Sector challenges we can solve
