Profile Draft
Interstate Rock Products, Inc. is a family-owned, vertically integrated heavy civil contractor headquartered at 42 S 850 W in Hurricane and serving the entire 435 region from Washington County north into Iron County and across the state lines into Arizona and Nevada. The company traces its roots to 1953, when it was founded as Stratton Brothers Construction Company; it reorganized under the Interstate Rock Products name in 1981 and is today led by the second and third generations of the Stratton family — Chase Stratton as CEO and Beau Stratton heading the materials division.
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, which gives it materials independence on the kind of large public and private projects that drive Washington County's growth corridor — UDOT roadway work, municipal utility expansions, master-planned subdivision mass grading, and commercial pads. The firm is licensed as a General Engineering Contractor in Utah, Nevada, and Arizona, and operates under USDOT number 21393.
Interstate Rock has scaled from a three-person crew in the 1950s into one of Hurricane's largest private employers, with a workforce that has been reported in the 100-plus range. It is a longstanding member of the Associated General Contractors of Utah and was named Hurricane Chamber of Commerce Member of the Month, reflecting deep community embedding distinct from out-of-area heavy civil firms that parachute in for individual UDOT contracts. For directory purposes, Interstate Rock is the obvious local-control alternative to Suncore on heavy-civil and large-site work; on smaller dirt and trenching jobs it is generally over-capability.
Unresolved Questions
- Specific Utah DOPL contractor license number and current standing.
- Current employee count (older sources cite up to 150; needs refresh).
- Whether residential and small-commercial work is accepted, or whether the firm is now exclusively heavy civil / public works.
