A Century of Building

Laying the Foundation

Building Through Challenge

The 1930s marked early milestones despite economic uncertainty. W.W. Clyde completed road work in Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon, Utah, as well as projects near Fish Lake, Utah, and Marsing, Idaho. In 1939, WW Clyde was elected AGC of Utah president, where he helped advance state workers’ compensation laws while continuing to expand the company’s footprint across Utah.

Answering the Call

During the 1940s, W.W. Clyde supported critical military construction efforts, including airfields in Salt Lake City, Utah, and work at Hill Air Force Base. The company also contributed to the Scofield Dam replacement in Utah, demonstrating technical expertise and reliability during a pivotal period of national and regional growth.

Expanding Infrastructure

The 1950s brought major infrastructure advancement. W.W. Clyde completed Utah’s first Interstate project, the Beck Street Overpass in Salt Lake City, and played a key role in the excavation and infrastructure development of Page, Arizona. These projects marked the company’s growing leadership in large-scale transportation and public works.

Engineering at Scale

The 1960s reflected a period of ambitious, large-scale construction. W.W. Clyde completed Phase Three of Willard Bay in Utah, moving millions of cubic yards of material. The company also delivered the Starvation Feeder Conduit, Tunnel, and Bridge in Utah, along with work on the Hite Crossing Bridge, one of the earliest roadways to cross the Colorado River in Utah.

Strengthening the Region

The 1970s continued the momentum with major water and transportation projects that expanded infrastructure across the West. W.W. Clyde strengthened its reputation as a trusted builder capable of managing complex, multi-disciplinary work, including the Meeks Cabin Dam in Wyoming, supporting long-term regional growth.

Responding When It Mattered Most

In the 1980s, W.W. Clyde played a critical role in the response to the Thistle landslide in Utah, the largest and most expensive landslide in U.S. history at the time. The company also delivered key transportation projects including the I-215 Belt Route and the Green River Bridge in Utah, demonstrating the ability to respond to both urgent and planned infrastructure needs.

Building for the Future

The 1990s marked continued growth through diverse statewide projects. W.W. Clyde completed work on the Syar Tunnel–Diamond Fork Power System in Utah and parkway projects in Kamas, Snowbasin Resort, and Coral Canyon, Utah. The company also supported site preparation for venues tied to the 2002 Salt Lake Winter Games, helping prepare Utah for a global stage.

Innovation and Collaboration

The early 2000s introduced landmark projects across Utah, including the state’s first Diverging Diamond Interchange at Beck Street, Pioneer Crossing, major I-15 corridor improvements, and the Olmsted Pipeline. W.W. Clyde also partnered on the Legacy Parkway and delivered the Jordanelle Hydroelectric Dam, reflecting a growing range of expertise and collaboration.

Advancing Modern Construction

Throughout the 2010s, W.W. Clyde delivered innovative transportation and infrastructure solutions across Utah and neighboring states. Award-winning projects, design-build delivery methods, and a major acquisition supported expansion into new markets while reinforcing the company’s reputation for quality, safety, and performance.

Carrying the Legacy Forward

In the early 2020s, W.W. Clyde continued building critical infrastructure across the region. Projects included major water pipelines in Davis County, Utah, solar developments in central Utah, and ongoing corridor improvements statewide.

Strategic acquisitions beginning in the late 2010s and continuing into the early 2020s expanded the company’s scale and capabilities, including growth into Colorado and Arizona.
