Our Founder Over the last sixty years, Traylor Bros. has developed into a highly adaptable construction organization with a proven capability to tackle the most difficult underground and marine projects. Engineer-managers and craftsman alike follow the lead of our founder, William F. Traylor: Civil Engineer, inspector for the city of Evansville on a compressed air tunnel, officer in the Navy's Pacific Theater Construction Battalion and finally, in 1946, the co-owner of fledgling T.B.I.
 Our Founder By 1956 he had bridged the Ohio River and driven his first mile of tunnel. He flourished on projects that frightened the others away. Careful attention to methods, equipment, and design of special equipment and excavation support schemes were his personal arena. Ever down to earth and approachable by any workman, Bill attended to detail, lead an unassuming life, and gained a reputation as a man whose word was as good as gold. His understanding of fundamental ethics and his generosity made him an example that goes beyond engineering excellence. He was, and is, a man admired by most who have known him.
Traylor Bros., Inc. was organized in 1946 in the State of Indiana and has been in continuous operation since that time. The company is headed by Thomas W. Traylor, Chairman/CEO and President, along with an executive level management team including sons Chris and Mike Traylor. Reporting directly to this management team are various department/project managers covering the following areas of responsibility: administration, underground projects, heavy civil projects, steel erection, equipment, and safety. The home office is located in Evansville, Indiana, and permanent divisional offices are located in El Segundo, California, and Irvine, California. Like the international headquarters located in Evansville, Indiana, each divisional office is staffed with dedicated professionals in all areas of construction management.
