Who we are

The HCCA (Heavy Construction Contractors Association) is a regional trade association representing over 170 member firms of the heavy construction trades. Founded in 1957 by a small group of sewer and water contractors, the HCCA has grown to a vital organization representing a cross-section of contractors, suppliers, professionals, and municipal members who share an interest in water, sewer, storm, and road construction, site engineering and development, construction materials, insurance, services, supplies and a host of other disciplines associated with the heavy construction value chain.

HCCA’s Public Action

HCCA serves as your liaison at the federal, state, and local levels. HCCA employs a lobbyist in Richmond – Dylan Bishop of KVCF – to represent our members on the state level at the General Assembly and with the state agencies (VDOT, DMV, State Corporation Commission). HCCA members have the opportunity to present a powerful voice in any area that impacts our members. This ranges from working toward increasing funding for infrastructure development, any legislative action that might have an impact on the industry and any rule or regulation from a state agency. HCCA also maintains an active relationship with the major county governments in Northern Virginia. HCCA is available to work on issues on behalf of our members or seek clarification of either existing or proposed rules or regulations. Membership in the organization is the means to activate this service as it arises in the normal course of business.

Safety and Industry Education

HCCA offers wide selection of training courses and certifications that are available in English, Spanish and Portuguese thanks to the HCCA Director of Safety and Training, Ari Henrique. Ari has 20+ years of industry experience and trains around 2,000 people annually. HCCA continues to be the largest certifier of VDOT Work Zone in Virginia. HCCA offers member pricing for training and can hold training at your office. Additionally, the HCCA Leadership Institute (HLI) is an 8-month program in which individuals undergo intensive public speaking training while traveling the industry and learning from industry professionals while also leading a community service project.
