Exciting Milestone Reached!
The FM Area Diversion Project has officially surpassed the halfway mark in excavating the 30-mile-long stormwater diversion channel! This monumental task, which is crucial for protecting the Fargo-Moorhead metro area from significant flooding, is being executed by ASN Constructors as part of the Red River Valley Alliance (RRVA). ASN Constructors, a joint venture composed of S&B USA Construction, Acciona, and North American Construction Group, is responsible for the construction work. Meanwhile, S&B USA Concessions, along with the other companies, is a key participant in the broader RRVA partnership.
To date, ASN Constructors has moved an incredible 23.5 million cubic yards of earth—enough to build seven-and-a-half replicas of the Great Pyramid of Giza! This achievement reflects the relentless dedication of our teams, who have been working around the clock, nearly 365 days a year, to ensure the safety and resilience of our community. As we continue to push forward, we're more committed than ever to bringing this vital project to completion.
