RAM Engineering & Construction, Inc. is a complete commercial site development contractor. Work that RAM performs includes demolition, earth excavation, storm & sanitary installation, piling installation, tie-back anchors, site grading, and much more. However, RAM’s expertise is in difficult deep-sheeted excavations that require Earth Retention Systems (ERS).

RAM is a third generation; family owned and operated company celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2010. The roots of the company can be traced even farther back, to C & C Excavators founded by W.W. Chilton in 1945. Today, RAM is run by brothers Richard and Mark Chilton, along with their nephew, W.W. Chilton III. The three have a combined 120 plus years of experience in the industry. The RAM ‘family’ prides itself on completing projects that are often looked over by other contractors that are leery of the associated risks. These are exactly the projects where RAM excels.

RAM currently performs the bulk of their work in Kentucky and Indiana, but does travel to other surrounding locations. Recent clients include the University of Louisville, the University of Kentucky, North American Stainless, Walmart, The Home Depot, Lowe’s, the Louisville Water Company, and others. Some of the larger projects RAM has worked on include Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium (Louisville, KY), Baptist Hospital East (Louisville, KY), Carmel Arts District Lofts (Carmel, IN), U of L Cardinal Park (Louisville, KY), Churchill Downs Renovation (Louisville, KY), U of K Memorial Coliseum Expansion (Lexington, KY), Marriott Downtown (Louisville, KY), and several projects for the Medical Center Expansions at U of L & U of K. RAM has also performed site development for numerous churches, schools, hospitals, and private developers in their 40 year history.
