Small jobs and large, complex projects, built by our own crews while your plant keeps running.
Rice Brothers is a premier engineering and construction firm, building for plant services, midstream, renewables and food and beverage clients. From small jobs to large and complex projects, we’re equipped to handle your construction needs, and our work is built to last for years.
We provide a full range of manufacturing plant contract services, including construction, operations and maintenance. Communication and collaboration come first, because most of our work happens inside facilities that can’t stop producing. Whether it’s a capital improvement, a tie-in during a shutdown or a major overhaul, our multi-discipline teams deliver on time.
Our ability to self-perform all major craft disciplines means fewer handoffs and fewer surprises. The people who plan the work are the people who show up to do it.
Every major craft, under one contract.
Rice Brothers’ in-house fab shop builds and customizes equipment and components to your plant’s specific requirements.
The infrastructure to store, move and treat liquids and gases, built as one system with the foundations, piping, pumps, controls and electrical around it.
Each of these has its own page with the detail behind it. See every industry we serve.
Every project starts with a plan that your operations team can live with. We walk the site, review the drawings, and agree on work windows, isolation points, permits and access routes before mobilizing. On a live plant, that planning is what keeps the work safe and the production schedule intact.
On site, one Rice Brothers superintendent runs the job and coordinates every craft. Because our own people handle piping, mechanical, structural, concrete, and electrical and instrumentation, there’s no waiting on a separate subcontractor to finish before the next trade can start. Daily coordination with your operations staff keeps everyone working from the same schedule.
We close out the way we started: carefully. Punch lists, testing, documentation and a clean handover give your team a facility that’s ready to run. And because we also provide plant maintenance, many clients keep our crews on after construction is complete.
