Since 1979, our name has been synonymous with safety, precision, and reliability across the Midwest and beyond. We’ve built our reputation the right way: by doing what we say, delivering what we promise, and standing behind the work we complete.
Here’s why organizations come back to Sellenriek again and again—and why new clients trust us from day one.
Whether we’re drilling through rock or plowing across rural farmland, our crews approach every job with unmatched attention to detail. Our people are highly trained, deeply experienced, and equipped with some of the best tools in the industry.
At the heart of every Sellenriek project is our proprietary Project Dashboard powered by OpSource, giving clients 24/7 visibility into progress, issues, and milestones. No one else offers this level of clarity and control.
Our crews don’t just meet safety standards—they help set them. With built-in damage prevention protocols, GIS-based planning, and vacuum excavation expertise, we prioritize safety at every phase of the project.
We’re not just a build partner. We help plan, design, manage, and deliver the entire job. This means fewer handoffs, fewer delays, and better results.
From government-funded rural broadband builds to utility co-op partnerships and private-sector expansions, Sellenriek has been the go-to partner for hundreds of successful projects. We understand what different stakeholders need, and we know how to deliver.
We’ve grown from a three-person crew in a 30×40 building to one of the most respected infrastructure partners in the Midwest. But we’ve never lost sight of what matters: integrity, fairness, and delivering quality work that lasts.
“We’ve worked with the Sellenriek Construction family for over a decade. Their team is skilled, professional, and genuinely wants us to succeed. Like us, they’re family owned and deeply involved in the community. If you need utility design, engineering, or construction work, you should definitely talk to them!”

Absolutely. We have deep experience with Rural Utility Service broadband projects in rural areas across Missouri, Oklahoma, and Illinois. Our team understands the challenges of rural deployments and works closely with local ISPs and municipal leaders to ensure reliable, future-ready infrastructure.
