OWNING LAND
WURX : MORE THAN DIRT MOVERS
While WURX does indeed move dirt, it does so much more.
“W
URX is a natural resource construction company, meaning we recognize the power of developing and conserving those life-giving elements—soil, water, and vegetation—that are not man-made,” said Rikki Altenburg, who with her husband Ryan,
co-founded the company along with its parent company Western Heritage Consulting & Engineering. As a natural resource construction company, WURX is already a rarity, but the power of the Envision + Design + Build model makes it one-ofa-kind. Under the model, the Western Heritage team heads the Envision and Design phases, while WURX takes lead during the Build phase. “We do it all—from developing the concept and engineering the plans to building a project out— with the single goal of making our clients’ vision a reality,” Rikki said. “In the process, we rely on creativity, common sense backed by accurate calculations, and years of real world experience to get the job done on time and on budget.” She continued, “Whether it’s a recreational ranch with hunting and fishing, a traditional livestock operation, corporate farming for an investment group, or anything else you can imagine, we can match your intent with our skills to enhance the productivity of your property as it relates to your goals. After all, every piece of land is a natural resource project.” When it comes to projects, the company repertoire includes: streams, ponds, dams, wetlands, irrigation, crops and watersheds, civil site development, wildlife habitat enhancement, land development, agriculture improvements, permitting, excavation, pipelines, access and infrastructure, roads, utilities, reclamation and agronomic practices. The two companies tackle projects across the country, with headquarters in Wyoming and branch offices in Colorado and Arizona
