Project experience
Commercial and public civil work across Iowa and Nebraska — from DOT grade raises and flood recovery to engineered wall systems and commercial site grading.
Featured · Public work
Bellevue, NE
Earthwork for the Mattel Wonder Indoor Waterpark at Bellevue Bay, a city-owned, 140,000-square-foot indoor and outdoor waterpark at the center of Bellevue’s 575-acre Good Life District. Leick crews handled the basement excavation, basement backfill, and retaining walls.
The $60 million project broke ground in March 2025 near Highways 75 and 34. Plans include a 60,000-square-foot retractable roof enclosure, water slides, a lazy river, and a climate-controlled walkway to the hotels, dining, and retail planned around it.
Leick scope
Portfolio
Mills County, IA
The project consisted of 7,000 LF of heavy highway construction for the Department of Transportation west of Pacific Junction. Leick furnished and installed approximately 300,000 CY of structural fill material to provide the grade raise for a new bridge over the BNSF Railroad.
Council Bluffs, IA
The project consisted of a 235,000 CY site reclamation near Council Bluffs, completed in 30 days with Leick’s own dozer fleet.
Mills County & Pacific Junction, IA
This project involved demolition and site clean-up of more than 220 flood-damaged homes across Mills County and the City of Pacific Junction. Working in coordination with FEMA and local government, Leick performed structure demolition, debris loading and haul-off, and final site clean-up, completing the work ahead of schedule.
Omaha, NE
The project consisted of an engineered, multi-tiered Redi-Rock retaining wall system for the City of Omaha’s South Omaha Trail, supporting bridge footings across 20 feet of grade change. Reinforcement methods included flowable fill mass extenders for gravity block walls, geogrid-reinforced walls with granular backfill, and granular backfill for gravity walls.
Pottawattamie County, IA
The project consisted of overexcavation of a building site and construction of structural segmental block walls up to 15 feet tall to support building loads. Existing utilities and property-line conflicts required engineering for tight spaces; clean limestone, geogrid, and stabilized aggregate were used to build the engineered walls.
Glenwood, IA
This project involved complete site preparation for a new government facility in Glenwood. Work included clearing of structures, trees, and vegetation; all cuts and fills to the design plans and specifications; and correction of unfavorable soil conditions to accommodate the new facility, pavement, and a geothermal well field.
Glenwood, IA
This project involved site demolition, site grading, and ledgestone-faced gravity block retaining walls for the Glenwood high school sports complex — delivering a finished, aesthetic wall system on a site that was tight on space.
Council Bluffs, IA
The project consisted of civil site preparation in Council Bluffs, including clearing and grubbing of vegetation, overexcavation, compaction of subgrade, and raising the site above flood elevation.
Glenwood, IA
The project consisted of two large retaining walls for the future site of a 40-unit apartment complex in Glenwood.
Mills County, IA
The project consisted of a 12-foot Redi-Rock International retaining wall for a commercial site in Mills County.
Sarpy County, NE
This project involved commercial site earthwork for a new Menards store, including mass grading with tractor-pulled scrapers and dozers, and dust control with water trucks.
Mills County, IA
This project involved borrow site operations at the L31 site, including excavation, loading, and hauling of fill material with Leick-owned equipment and trucks.
Mills County, IA
This project involved mass earthwork at the Barrus borrow site, supplying fill material and moving it with Leick’s own fleet.
