FMG is dedicated to providing the highest level of service in cold-in-place asphalt recycling, asphalt milling, grinding, pulverizing, and asphalt paving for our customers throughout California.
We built our company on a foundation of integrity, honesty, and performance allowing us to accomplish our goals.
We are committed to delivering alternative GREEN pavement solutions through Cold-In-Place Recycling (CIR).
We are agile, responsive, and focus on our customers. We treat them like we want be treated.
We view our employees as assets. Their personal growth is directly related to our business growth.
FMG is a licensed C-12 contractor and a proud signatory to local trade unions.
In 1999 Mike McElroy and Frank Fonseca had a vision. At the time Mike was working as a paving superintendent–foreman and Frank was a Local 3 grinder operator. They worked together on numerous occasions on various job sites over ten years. The two became friends and worked so well together, they decided to buy their own milling machine. This is when Fonseca McElroy Grinding began (FMG).
Our operation supports a broad range of private and public agency projects. Our management brings over 100 combined years experience in roads and highway construction.
We’ve also expanded our service offerings, with selective evolution, adding Cold-In-Place Recycling (CIR) with Expanded Foam. We felt it was the right and responsible thing to do because our customers wanted sound alternatives in managing their pavement and infrastructure.
We attribute our continued growth and success for many reasons, some of our primary ones:
“It is a beautiful thing when a Green solution is also the most cost effective solution.”
Michael J. Murdter P.E.,
Director Roads and Airports Department, County of Santa Clara
“This is very meaningful for us primarily because we do not have enough funds to take care of our roads. CIR is very successful in terms of quality, ease of construction and minimal impact on our community.”
Hans F. Larsen P.E.,
Director of Transportation, City of San Jose
“We are very committed to CIR and we want to close the loop on Recycling by your soon-to-be-deployed Cold Central Plant Recycling (CCPR), where we can utilize millings from our roads, which are currently going to dump sites and increasing our landfill, to be recycled and reused in our road projects.”
George M. Bolton III,
Construction Manager, County of Alameda Public Works Agency
“We liked CIR on our projects. It is fast and the minimal dust during construction is huge for us and our residents.”
Ashraf I. Shah,
Assistant Engineer, City of Foster City
