Founded over 55 years ago by Charles O. Falter, a dedicated and honest tradesman with a passion for building, C.O. Falter Construction Corporation was built from the ground up — literally. What began as a small, family-run operation in Syracuse, New York has grown into a trusted leader in the construction of water and wastewater treatment facilities across the Northeast.
Still family-owned and operated today, we remain grounded in the same principles Charles instilled from day one: hard work, fairness, and a commitment to quality craftsmanship. Those values continue to shape every project we take on and every team member we hire.
Over the decades, we’ve successfully completed projects in New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland, earning a reputation for reliability, precision, and safety.
