Moltz Construction

What Moltz Construction does

Moltz Construction, Inc. is a Colorado-based heavy civil general contractor specializing exclusively in water and wastewater treatment facility construction for municipal, federal, state, and private clients. Founded in 1989 and headquartered in Salida, the firm operates three regional offices (Salida, Windsor, Centennial) covering southern, northern, and metropolitan Colorado. Under CEO Eric Moltz — who joined in 1995 and pivoted the firm toward water/wastewater — Moltz has completed more than 30 years of projects including treatment plants (capacities ranging from 3.8 MGD to 18 MGD), intake structures, pump stations, reservoirs, dams, and pipelines, with a documented specialty in high-altitude construction at elevations up to 12,001 feet.

The company's service offering spans the major project delivery methods used in public-sector infrastructure: Design-Bid-Build, Design-Build, CMAR/CMGC, Negotiated, and Time & Materials contracts. Moltz acquires work through competitive bidding, qualifications-based negotiated selection, and relationship-driven repeat engagement with municipalities and special districts. Notable projects include the $58M Breckenridge Second Water Treatment Plant, the $40M Montrose Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements, and the South Adams County pellet softening plant (largest of its type in the U.S., completed with 150,000+ incident-free staff hours). The firm holds regional awards from ENR Mountain States, the American Concrete Institute Rocky Mountain Chapter, the Design-Build Institute of America, and its parent Graham Group.

Since 2019, Moltz has operated as a subsidiary of Graham Group of Companies, one of Canada's largest contractors, providing bonding capacity, capital, and back-office scale while preserving Moltz's regional brand and customer relationships. Revenue is generated project-by-project through competitive and negotiated public-sector procurement, with multi-year contract durations typical for major treatment plant construction. The firm does not disclose financials; headcount sits in the 101–250 range, consistent with a regional specialty contractor running a portfolio of complex, multi-million-dollar water infrastructure projects.
