New Portland Facility

Building a Better Future

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

Bringing Advanced American Diving Service, previously located in Oregon City, Oregon, and the M. Cutter Company, out of Vancouver, Washington, together under one roof has greatly increased efficiency. The new site's increased square footage, improved location, and state-of-the-art design, allows us to more effectively improve and expand the award winning service our valued clients have come to expect.
