Interstate Rock Products, Inc.

The Stratton brothers started building roads and moving dirt in Hurricane in 1953 — back when Hurricane was a farm town with a single state highway running through it and the population was smaller than the present-day enrollment of Hurricane High. Stratton Brothers Construction Company reorganized under the Interstate Rock Products name in 1981. Today the company is run by the second and third generations of the family, with Chase Stratton as CEO and Beau Stratton heading the materials division. The headquarters at 42 S 850 W in Hurricane has been the operational center the entire time.

A Family Civil Contractor

Interstate Rock has scaled from a three-person crew in the 1950s into one of Hurricane’s largest private employers, with workforce reported in the 100-plus range. The trajectory is the opposite of most Southern Utah civil firms — the Strattons did not parachute in from the Wasatch Front; they were already here when the highway south of Sand Hollow was still gravel. The Hurricane Chamber of Commerce named Interstate Rock its Member of the Month in recognition of that embedding.

Vertical Integration

The work mix is unusually broad for a Southern Utah outfit: roadway and bridge construction, mass earthwork and grading, underground wet and dry utilities, structural concrete, foundations, design/build civil packages, and parks and recreational facility construction. Interstate Rock owns and operates its own aggregate pits, asphalt plant, and concrete batch plants. That materials independence is what allows the firm to bid the kind of large jobs that drive Washington County’s growth corridor — UDOT roadway packages, municipal utility expansions, master-planned subdivision mass grading, and commercial pads — without depending on Suncore or Western Rock for supply.

Licensing and Reach

The firm is licensed as a General Engineering Contractor in Utah, Nevada, and Arizona, and operates under USDOT number 21393, independently confirmed via FMCSA SAFER Web. Interstate Rock is a longstanding member of the Associated General Contractors of Utah. Specific Utah DOPL number was not surfaced in the public-source pass and should be confirmed directly.

Interstate Rock in the 435

For 435 work, Interstate Rock is the obvious local-control alternative to Suncore on heavy-civil and large-site jobs. On smaller residential dirt or backyard trenching it is over-capability — that work belongs at Bryce Christensen’s level. But for a master-planned subdivision rough grade, a UDOT contract south of Cedar City, or a parks job for the City of Hurricane, this is the family-owned name on the bid sheet. The Strattons built half the Hurricane that exists today, and they are still answering the phone at the same Hurricane address.
