Established in 1985 in Northeastern Ohio, Porter Company transformed from a general contracting company to Porter Foundations in 2012. Projects such as concrete foundation holding tanks for General Motors and many concrete wastewater treatment plants governing Northeastern Ohio allowed us to hit the road running. Word of mouth spread, and local and statewide engineers and architects began referring to us as “The Form Contractor.”
This eventually led to projects like the installation of a large HBM foundation for General Dynamics (Bath Iron Works), a shipbuilding manufacturer for the United States Navy, which established us as the national machine foundation firm we are today.

A sense of urgency that equaled ours; Tom wasn’t just cognizant of what we needed to accomplish, he and his crew embraced it. Tom became part of our team thus part of our success as well.

Technology That Benefits You
We live by the motto “measure twice, cut once.” In today’s times, that means using Revit Structures to build a complete model of your foundation before we break ground, often resulting in machine installation ahead of our clients’ expected timelines. It also allows us to solve for an important detail before we arrive: limiting the space we take up during the build. Not interfering with the daily manufacturing of our clients’ workforce is a major priority of Porter Foundations.
From the top of our company management to the men working on the floor, Hynes Industries was pleased with Porter Foundations’ performance.
