1997 … at the start

Two brothers who grew up working in the construction industry formed Excel Excavating in Jeffersonville, IN in 1997. Charles and William Galligan, equipped with a backhoe and dump truck, started Excel Excavating laying sewer and water lines for subdivisions in Southern Indiana.

2000s

The work load for Excel started to increase steadily in the early 2000’s and the Galligan brothers began adding employees and equipment. In addition to performing underground utility work, Excel began performing more grade/drain and excavating work as well as doing concrete work.

Outgrowing their small shop and office in Jeffersonville, the brothers bought 60 acres of property on Utica Sellersburg Road in Sellersburg, IN and built their current shop and offices. Excel’s first major project came installing the infrastructure at the Quartermaster Depot, a Civil-war era structure which spreads over several city blocks in Jeffersonville. The Quartermaster Depot houses many businesses and restaurants and also houses the Jeffersonville City Hall.
