Since 1946, John Keno & Company has served many of Chicago’s top general contractors as their excavation division, providing world-class site preparation, earthworks, and shoreline development services that have made their mark on Chicago’s skyline, landscape and shoreline. JKC sets the pace for other contractors, and excels with the largest, most complex projects, including O’Hare Airport, Barack Obama Presidential Center, University of Chicago, and data centers – to name a few.

On smaller projects, we work directly with a multitude of federal, state and local government agencies, building and property owners, and homeowners with shoreline and ravines.
