RTA Construction

What RTA Construction does

RTA Construction, Inc. is an Industrial General Engineering Contractor headquartered in Redding, California, founded in 2008 and operating with 11-50 employees. The company's core offering is self-performed construction services across eight service lines: Bridge Work, Heavy Civil Mechanical, Renewable Energy, Schools, Sitework & Underground, Waste Water Treatment, Water & Sewer Conveyance, and Water Treatment. Its primary project focus is industrial water usage infrastructure, specifically water treatment, waste water treatment, irrigation, and conveyance systems, supplemented by bridge, mechanical, renewable energy, school, and sitework projects.

The company is differentiated by its self-perform model, executing most crafts needed for project construction in-house rather than relying primarily on subcontractors, which spans heavy civil, mechanical, and underground disciplines. It operates under California Contractor License No. 862067 with A, B, and C10 classifications and DIR Registration No. 1000002349, which qualify it to bid on California public works projects. RTA emphasizes safety and schedule adherence and works with multiple government agencies, indicating an established track record across various public owners.

RTA generates revenue through one-time construction project contracts won primarily via competitive public works bidding with government and municipal agencies in California. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and revenue derives from a single customer vertical (public sector infrastructure). The company maintains no disclosed private-sector or federal customer base, operates only within California, and has no announced partnerships, M&A activity, or external funding rounds in the available data.
