Directly comparable to RTS in industrial demolition scope, hazardous material handling, and mobile equipment deployment to Midwestern/industrial customer sites.

Regional players
- Stark Excavating: Midwest-based site development, excavation, and demolition contractor serving commercial and infrastructure clients. Comparable to RTS's excavation and demolition services but focused primarily in Illinois and surrounding Midwest states rather than Plains/Rocky Mountain regions.
