Our History

Founded by Duane & Joanne Goebel in 1976, Goebel Construction began its journey under the name “Goebel Paving, Grading, and Underground,” reflecting its foundational expertise in civil and sitework services. Initially focused on paving & grading, the company built a strong reputation for quality and reliability in the Bay Area.

Began services for Bay Area refineries and expanded from a grading and paving contractor a prime contractor tackling larger capital and routine maintenance projects within these facilities.

Started a mechanical piping division to have the self-performing capabilities on heavy industrial projects.

Greg Goebel Sr. assumes role as president and CEO.

Goebel expands into government contracting, landing major contracts with the department of energy. 

Company continues on an upward trajectory, adding many successful project executions to its portfolio, while expanding its workforce and reputation locally in the bay area.

Goebel Paving, Grading, & Underground changes its name to Goebel Construction, Inc. to better represent the wider breadth of work we perform.

Goebel Construction, Inc. is asked to play a large part in a turnaround for the Chevron Richmond Refinery. This leads to the creation of the company’s Turnaround Division in which it would go on to successfully execute 12 more turnarounds from 2015 to 2022 locally.

Awarded a federal maintenance contract that would spawn the creation of an entire division of the company to serve the majority of the Western United States.

Completed one of its largest turnarounds to date during the peak of the pandemic. The event was one of the most successful in recent refinery history, while Goebel employed nearly 300 employees for the event and had ZERO recordable injuries.

Launch a strategic 5-year business plan aligned with the energy transition economy, focusing on expanding our expertise into new and emerging markets. Our goal is to collaborate on and execute cutting-edge projects across the Western United States.
