New Portland Facility

Building a Better Future

Advanced American Construction, Inc. (AAC), a marine contractor since 1983, consolidated all of its operations at its new headquarters facility at 8444 N.W. St. Helen's Road in Portland, Oregon in May, 2006.

The new site and the building have enabled AAC to improve and expand its award-winning service to their clients. The site and building are larger and better located, the new facilities are well-designed and state-of-the-art, and efficiency has been increased by bringing Advanced American Diving Service in Oregon City and the M. Cutter Company in Vancouver, Washington together at one facility.
