The Fit
Slayden builds the infrastructure the Pacific Northwest depends on, and that work deserves a broker who knows it from the inside. Team Haugen is a construction risk specialist, not a generalist, and we go to market differently for the contractors we serve.
We studied your portfolio, your sectors, and your safety record before we ever reached out. The water treatment, wastewater, fish passage, and heavy civil work you self-perform is what we built this conversation around.
Oregon and Washington civil work has its own carriers, its own classifications, and its own loss-control expectations. We place this class every day and bring the markets that compete for it.
Most brokers hand underwriters a standard application. We build a custom underwriting profile that puts your operations, your safety culture, and your record in front of the markets that price on them.
From Workers' Compensation through every supporting line, you work with one coordinated team that owns the whole program and answers for it at renewal.
Your Operation
Forty years of water and wastewater infrastructure across the Pacific Northwest, self-performed by a workforce you have built and backed by the national resources of MWH Constructors. Here is what we see when we look at Slayden.
Four Core Disciplines
Water treatment, wastewater treatment, fish passage, and heavy civil infrastructure, extending into ozone and advanced treatment systems, pump stations and pipelines, and dam rehabilitation. Specialized work with specialized exposures.
Self-Performed Work
You self-perform a substantial share of every project. That is direct command of schedule, quality, and safety, and it shapes how your program should be built and placed.
A Portfolio of Complex Projects
The Robert A. Duff Water Treatment Plant in Medford, the fast-tracked Geren Island ozone upgrades for Salem, deep urban lift stations in Bend, and remote fish passage at Cabinet Gorge. Public owners, demanding sites, real consequence.
Local Crews, National Backing
As a U.S. Regional Division of MWH Constructors, you carry national resources and capital depth behind an experienced Salem-based workforce. We build a program that fits both.
Safety Culture
Safety is a value, not a priority. That is Slayden's own language, and the record behind it is one of the strongest differentiators you bring to any underwriting conversation.
Nine AGC Construction Safety Excellence Awards, eight AGC ROSE Awards, the AGC PRIDE Award, and a 2025 CSEA First Place in Utility Infrastructure. A safety record this decorated is rare in civil construction.
Executive leadership are active participants in safety training, not just policy signatories, and a Craft Safety Leadership Team brings field-level input back into the work. Accountability runs top to bottom.
Slayden's stated aim is a zero-incident environment on every project, well beyond OSHA minimums, with the Improve-It system putting a resolution owner on every issue and every good catch.
The philosophy is simple. Safety means going home to your family, on the job site and off it. That culture is exactly what the right carriers reward.
Workers' Compensation
You self-perform the deep excavation, confined-space, concrete, and water work that defines a Slayden project. That is a specific Workers' Compensation profile, and it deserves a program built by people who understand civil construction and the safety record you bring to it.
Treatment plant builds, pipeline and pump station work, fish passage, and heavy civil all carry their own exposures. We build the program around your actual scopes and place it with carriers who underwrite this class.
On self-performed civil work, accurate classification and genuine loss control drive what you pay over time. We keep the codes clean and bring the safety and claims support that keeps your people protected and your program defensible.
A 40-year safety record and a wall of AGC awards is the story underwriters price on. We carry that record to the markets that reward it and make sure it counts at every renewal.
A self-performing civil workforce deserves more than one standard quote. HUB's scale opens the carriers that compete on loss control and experience for contractors like Slayden.
Additional Coverages
Workers' Compensation leads, and a civil contractor's risk runs well beyond it. These are the lines we build around the rest of your operation, each placed with the same specialist attention.
