Building the Future,
Honoring the Past
How we started
In 1973, WT "Troy" Byler founded WT Byler Co with a simple backhoe, a tractor-mower, and a small team of four field workers. Having started his career in the engineering department of Southern Pacific Railroad, Troy built his company on values that remain at the core of WT Byler Co today—commitment, integrity, and a passion for doing things right the first time.
Under his leadership, the company established a solid reputation for quality work, and that legacy continues to thrive today. Now led by WT "Bill" Byler, the company remains family-owned and has grown into an industry leader, employing hundreds of professionals, managing millions of work-hours, and producing revenues in the hundreds of millions annually. While the company has expanded, its commitment to those same values ensures that every project is approached with the same dedication and care as when it first started.
Innovating for a Sustainable Future
Today, WT Byler Co builds projects that shape the future, enhancing the quality of life while minimizing environmental impact. With a commitment to sustainability, the company uses clean-fuel, energy-efficient equipment that meets the latest EPA emissions standards, ensuring every project reduces its carbon footprint.
Our expertise spans major site-work services including site clearing, earthwork, soil stabilization, and infrastructure development. We also specialize in large-scale railroad construction, delivering some of the most significant rail projects in the country, such as the 10,000-car storage-in-transit yard—the largest privately-owned facility of its kind in the U.S.
Over the years, WT Byler Co has forged long-standing partnerships with both public and private sector clients, completing turnkey projects across industries ranging from petrochemical facilities and power plants to retail centers and sports arenas. We’re not just building today’s projects—we’re paving the way for tomorrow’s infrastructure.
