In 1906, Carl J. Seagren, William Kallasch, Stanley White and Harry Leach organized and incorporated the Illinois Hydraulic Stone and Construction Company. Initially the company manufactured concrete blocks compressed by hydraulic pressure. Concrete blocks were phased out beginning in 1913 when road paving became their primary business.
As time progressed, the company diversified and accelerated their commercial, industrial and institutional building program. The founders retired in 1947 and turned over the management to several employees, including Melvin E. Rakow, and the company name changed to Illinois Hydraulic Construction Company.

Our experience and resources give us the ability to agilely react to the wide variety of circumstances that can arise during construction.
At IHC we are as flexible in how we deliver construction services as we are diverse in what we build. In any format we are prepared to help our clients, public and private, get the quality product they want for the price they can afford.

Design and construction are creative and fulfilling experiences; incorporating a vision with decision making, reconciling values, a balanced budget, quality performance and precise scheduling. From the design in a conference room, through the labor in the field, to the pride of ownership, construction is a unique experience.
