Formerly known as Kerr Construction, Inc., Huxted Tunneling was established in Florida in 1977, by Dwayne Huxted and a partner. The original focus was on Underground Utility Contracting. Soon after its inception, the company began gaining experience in trenchless procedures such as auger boring and installation of steel casing for utility projects and pump stations. Dwayne Huxted became sole owner in 1991 and expanded the company's capabilities to include pipe jacking, hand mined tunnels, and microtunneling.
