Chesapeake VA

Most recent update: March 28, 2020.

Tidewater Equipment Corp. started life in 1947 as a subsidiary of Tidewater Construction Corp. In 1998, Tidewater Construction was acquired by Skanska USA and became Tidewater Skanska, Inc., a division of Skanska USA, and Tidewater Equipment became TEC Skanska. The company is primarily a steel fabricator: most of the floating equipment it produces is used in the construction industry. The yard is on the Elizabeth River, on the southeast side of the Dominion Boulevard bridge. See it from the air on Google here.
