Civil West Construction
91视频 Staff//May 7, 2025//
Arnold Sanchez discovered his passion for construction after working as a pipelayer, but his journey truly began when he enlisted in the U.S. Army as a horizontal construction engineer.
鈥淭he Army taught me dedication, discipline and to show up no matter what,鈥� he said.
Sanchez launched Civil West Construction in 2021, offering excavation, underground utilities, foundation work, trenching and support for heavy civil and highway projects. He credits his wife and partner, Kelsey Sanchez, and Ben Atwood, his first field helper, with laying the groundwork for a tight-knit team.
Civil West has grown into a fully operational company with office staff and field crews who are treated like family. Sanchez’s goal is to build a culture that supports personal and professional growth.
鈥淚’m proud of how far we’ve come. We face new challenges every day and I love pushing past limits,鈥� he said.
