SERVICES

Glacier Construction Co., Inc. is a general industrial contractor based in Greenwood Village, Colorado. We work primarily in the construction industry’s heavy civil/industrial sector.

We excel at and are passionate about building projects that clean water and the environment. Collectively we have centuries of experience building intake structures, wells, treatment facilities, pipelines, pump stations, storage facilities, and other infrastructure. We pride ourselves on our ability to tackle the most complex projects – intricate retrofit work, difficult shoring, and complex temporary process systems – that require continuous ingenuity and resourcefulness.

Glacier typically self-performs much of the work that we do. Our employees’ superior skills, training, and dedication allow us to deliver a quality product on time and on budget for our customers.
