Construction, maintenance and major overhauls that keep production running.
Rice Brothers provides a full range of manufacturing plant contract services, including construction, operations and maintenance. We understand how much communication and collaboration matter while a plant holds its production schedule. Whether it’s basic daily maintenance, capital improvements or a major overhaul, our multi-discipline teams deliver timely solutions.
Rice Brothers’ in-house fab shop builds and customizes equipment and components to a plant’s specific requirements, which means less time waiting on outside fabricators.
Manufacturing plants come in every shape: metal fabrication, building products, packaging, plastics, pharmaceuticals, warehousing and distribution. If your plant runs on equipment, piping and power, we can help keep it running.

From our Calgary home base to plants anywhere in the country.
Maintenance crews are essential to a plant’s long-term health. We support your own team rather than replacing it, adding qualified crafts and supervision during busy seasons, turnarounds and capital projects, and stepping back when they’re done.
When a plant expands, we can carry the project from engineering and design through construction, then stay on for maintenance. A contractor who already knows your plant is often the fastest way to get new capacity running.
Every plant runs differently, so we take time to learn yours. Our supervisors walk the site with your team, review your safety and permit procedures, and agree on how work will be planned, approved and closed out before our crews start. That groundwork keeps maintenance and capital work moving smoothly and keeps your production schedule intact. When priorities change mid-week, as they often do in manufacturing, a contractor who already knows the plant can shift with you quickly.
