Tri-City has evolved from its roots as an electrical contractor to include low voltage technology solutions, power testing solutions, engineering and integration services, renewable energy services, drone services, structural steel erection, fire protection systems, automated solutions and robotics, millwright construction services and more. In recent years, Tri-City Group has added Treiber Construction Company, Industrial Steel Erectors and B&B Masonry and Restoration to its family of businesses.
