At Rice Lake West, we specialize in what we do best—building complex water and wastewater infrastructure. As one of the Western U.S.’s leading contractors in the water sector, we bring unmatched expertise, a strong portfolio of successful projects, and a commitment to delivering high-quality, self-performed construction.

Headquartered in Golden, Colorado, we offer unmatched regional knowledge of local, climatic, and geotechnical conditions. Our work includes treatment plants, pump stations, and critical process facilities, all delivered by experienced teams focused on precision, performance, and partnership.

We self-perform key trades such as concrete, process piping, equipment installation, structural steel, and site utilities, allowing us to maintain tighter control over safety, quality, schedule, and cost. This in-house capability is especially valuable on technically demanding and schedule-sensitive projects.

At Rice Lake West, we help communities and clients solve infrastructure challenges, ensuring access to safe, clean water and sustainable environmental outcomes.

Whether it’s a single well serving fewer than 100 customers or a metropolitan system supporting hundreds of thousands, our team delivers results. We perform greenfield construction, plant expansions, system upgrades, and rehabilitation, meeting the complex water infrastructure demands amidst aging infrastructure, increasing water quality requirements, and limited funding.

Our construction expertise includes preconstruction services, process equipment installation, and temporary operations to maintain treatment during construction. With the ability to self-perform 70% of typical treatment plant construction, we add value through better control, increased efficiency, and a proven focus on quality.

Let’s build better water infrastructure, together.
