Congratulations to Perdue Premium Meat Company on their brand-new $60 million, 225,000 sq. ft. Sioux City facility! This project isn’t just a new plant — it’s another chapter in Sioux City’s long food production legacy. With over 300 jobs (100+ newly created) and production capacity jumping from 5.4 million to 17+ million pounds annually, the economic impact will be felt across our community. We along with our professional services firm Civil Engineers & Constructors, LLC are proud to have played a role, supporting both design and construction. As a single-point, design-build partner, we simplify complex projects like this by uniting engineers and builders under one roof — saving clients time, cost, and headaches.

Coordinated. Precise. Self-Performed. RP/CEC recently completed a design-build industrial SBR system in the Midwest — treating wastewater for direct discharge with a complex mix of above- and below-grade process piping. Civil Engineers & Constructors, LLC led the design (excluding electrical), including full regulatory approvals. RP self-performed every inch of the installation, including: - 30” stainless steel welded aeration pipe - 36” C900 decant - 10” WAS return This was not your average install. A narrow corridor housed all three systems with little room for error, demanding exact transitions and full team coordination. Stainless steel of this size and complexity isn’t for everyone — but it’s a space we thrive in. When design and construction are integrated, outcomes improve. Design to Dirt. CAD to Completion. One team, one result.

**Industrial Construction is Slowing – Here's Why That Matters (and Why It’s Also an Opportunity)** Big thanks to fellow Iowan [Peter Zeihan](https://lnkd.in/ePndrg5C) for another great breakdown—this time on *manufacturing construction spending*, tracked by the [St. Louis Fed](https://lnkd.in/gcguWn8R). We’re feeling it too. RP/CEC is seeing a slowdown in industrial work, and it’s concerning—but it’s also an opportunity. 🌀 Between tariff turbulence and political noise, business leaders are hesitant. Uncertainty has taken the driver’s seat. 🍋 But some of our clients are making lemonade—growing while others sit still. We’ve helped them navigate tariffs, and we’re still busy. But pricing is competitive, schedules are better, and now is the time to build. The cycle *will* correct, and those who act now will be glad they did when it does. Thinking of expanding or need a water/wastewater problem solved? Let’s talk. \#IndustrialConstruction #Manufacturing #DesignBuild #Tariffs #Reshoring #RPConstructors #CEC #Zeihan #IowaProud #SmartMoves

Our concrete crew is knocking out pours at the South Apron project at Sioux Gateway Airport, building on RP's heavy civil roots. The team is grinding through the summer heat. Appreciate the effort from our all our field crews. #RPConstructors #HeavyCivil #AirportConstruction #ConcreteCrew #Grading #Teamwork #BuiltToLast #SiouxCity #KSUX

Behind the Scenes at RP/CEC Exciting day at RP Constructors and Civil Engineers & Constructors, LLC (CEC) as we begin capturing video content to tell our story — who we are, what we do, and how we deliver value.

This is just the beginning. Future content will highlight our team’s strengths across: - Heavy Civil Infrastructure - Industrial Construction - Engineering and Permitting - Design-Build and CMR Delivery - AI-Enabled Innovation in Construction We’re proud of the exceptional people that make RP/CEC what it is — and excited to share more soon. #LeadershipInAction #RPConstructors #CECEngineering #DesignBuild #Infrastructure #WastewaterTreatment #ConstructionInnovation #CMRDelivery #EngineeringExcellence #Teamwork #AIinConstruction #ClientFocused

💻💧 AI is booming—and it’s thirsty. As more data centers pop up across the Midwest, water and infrastructure are under the spotlight. Good news: RP/CEC speaks both languages—AI and wastewater. We’re not just engineers. We’re builders. We’re operators. We design and construct real-world water reuse systems that work. We don’t chase hours—we chase working solutions, delivered on time and on budget. From engineering to permitting to piping, we’re your partner for AI infrastructure.

NEPA changes are reshaping how infrastructure gets approved — are you ready? As highlighted in this recent ENR article (link below), federal permitting rules are shifting fast, with tighter timelines, streamlined reviews, and less public input. For private developers and public entities alike, navigating these changes is critical. At RP Constructors and Civil Engineers & Constructors, LLC we help clients—whether pursuing a traditional infrastructure project like water or wastewater, or an innovative design-build AI data center—stay ahead of the curve. Our experienced engineers and construction pros understand the permitting landscape and know how to get projects approved and built.

📣 Leadership Recognition | Giving Back to the Profession We’re proud to share that our CEO, Ryan Callaghan, has been elected Chair of the South Dakota Board of Technical Professions (BOTP) by his fellow board members. Ryan has served on the Board since 2020 and is currently in his second term. In addition to his state-level work, he’s actively engaged on the national stage through NCEES, helping shape licensure policy and uphold professional standards across the U.S. At RP/CEC, we believe strongly in giving back to the industries we serve. Volunteering time in public service roles like this strengthens our profession—and creates valuable mentorship opportunities for our younger staff as they navigate the licensure process. 👏 Congratulations, Ryan—and thank you for representing the values of integrity, leadership, and service that define RP Constructors, LLC and Civil Engineers & Constructors, LLC #Leadership #Engineering #Surveying #Architecture #Licensure #NCEES #BOTP #ProfessionalDevelopment #Mentorship #RPConstructors #CEConstructors
