- 24/7 Emergency Municipal Services Available
Specialized construction, rehabilitation, and maintenance services for Utah public agencies and municipal water systems.
ORR Inc. is a premier municipal general contracting firm dedicated to serving public agencies across the Pacific Northwest and the Mountain West, with a growing footprint in Utah. We understand that the infrastructure challenges facing Utah are unique—from the seismic considerations along the Wasatch Front to the extreme temperature fluctuations between high-elevation winters and arid summers.
Our team brings hundreds of years of combined experience to every project, ensuring that the systems we build, rehabilitate, or maintain are designed to serve the community for decades, not just years. We act as a partner to city engineers, public works directors, and water district managers throughout Utah.
Whether the project involves a complex pump station rehabilitation in Salt Lake City, a new water treatment facility in Provo, or critical emergency repairs in a rural municipality, ORR Inc. mobilizes with the right equipment and expertise. Our philosophy is simple: we build it right the first time.
We rarely return to a project site for repairs; typically, the next time we see a facility is 30 years later for a planned modernization. This commitment to longevity ensures that Utah tax dollars are spent efficiently on infrastructure that withstands the test of time.
