Established in 1985 in Northeastern Ohio, Porter Company transformed from a general contracting company to Porter Foundations with projects such as concrete foundation holding tanks for General Motors and concrete forming for the wastewater treatment plant of Warren, Ohio. Local engineers and architects began referring to us as “The Form Contractor,” and we soon grew to become the national machine foundation firm we are today.

The night before the first pour, Tom Porter was in our plant at 3:00 AM to double-check the dimensions, as he knew it had to be right the first time.

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: How much space we take up during the build. Not interfering with the output around us 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.
