About Us
Knight Erosion Control, Inc. set its roots deep into Texas soil in 1985 and quickly developed as a trusted name in North Texas for reliable retaining wall solutions. Recently earning NCTRCA certifications (SBE/MBE/WBE) and rebranding the corporation as Knight Engineering & Construction, KEC is actively expanding its range of offered services while sustaining top-tier commercial erosion control support. Broadening capabilities has helped the company better serve new customer bases including municipalities, utilities, power generators, oil & gas producers, and governmental entities, just to name a few.
​
Family owned and operated since its inception nearly 40 years ago, the Christian values in which KEC was founded upon still fuels today an unmatched culture of honesty, friendliness, and personal dedication to highest quality effort. Everyone involved in day-to-day operations of the business is an integral and valued part of the organization. Safety and customer service remains KEC's primary focuses and are thoroughly achieved through uniquely cultivated talents and perspectives.​
