Overview

From a one-man contracting firm launched in 1844, Blakeslee Arpaia Chapman today is a multi-faceted company providing engineered construction services. The company works in the areas of marine construction, roads and bridges, dams, foundations, and other large site structures, conduit construction for utilities, and millwrighting & rigging for utilities and industries.

As a Connecticut-focused company, Blakeslee works with the state’s public utility companies, large marine businesses, educational institutions, and major manufacturing firms, as well as with city, state, and federal agencies.

Blakeslee's strength and success have one source: its people. Blakeslee employees are dedicated, loyal, and committed to delivering high-quality projects to clients, with exemplary job safety performance and a responsiveness that keep clients coming back. Throughout the company’s history, a typical employee's tenure is 20, 30, or 40 years of service … as true today as it was a hundred years ago. Which means Blakeslee continues to make constructive moves for both the company's people and its clients.
