Behind every day’s work is a team whose contributions reach beyond any one jobsite.

From the shop and plant to the office and field, our team brings different skills to a shared effort. Keeping equipment ready, preparing materials and coordinating the details all play a part in getting the work done. Knife River

At Knife River, being one team means appreciating those contributions, learning from each other and looking out for the teammates who count on us.

Congratulations to everyone who helped bring this major project across the finish line.

A beautiful fall day made for a great quarry tour in Central Minnesota.

Our safety and aggregate teams hosted the Minnesota Safety Council for its October quarterly meeting at Helgeson Quarry in Sauk Rapids. The group learned how safety is built into daily operations, from PPE and training to mine-specific procedures, then saw those practices in action during the tour.

Thank you to the Minnesota Safety Council and our Central Minnesota team for a great day of learning and conversation.

Hawaiian Cement’s Nick Giron gave our team a new milestone to celebrate on the national stage!

Nick earned fifth place among 125 drivers from 41 states at the NRMCA Mixer Driver Championship in Nashville, Tennessee, becoming the first Knife River driver to reach the top five. Through knowledge tests, truck inspections and driving challenges, he demonstrated the precision and attention to detail this work demands.

Congratulations, Nick! Your accomplishment puts a spotlight on the skill behind the wheel and gives our next generation of drivers something to aim for.
