About Us
Steamboat Structures LLC
Heather and Martin both graduated from the University of Wyoming and continue to be avid Wyoming Cowboy fans. The company name was influenced by the legendary bucking horse Steamboat, the horse in the university’s logo. Steamboat is a bucking horse from the 1900’s who was a star at rodeos and western shows. He was only able to be ridden a handful of times due to his relentless bucking and everlasting determination. Steamboat to us is a daily reference signifying strong work ethic, pride, and integrity.
Steamboat Structures LLC is a CDOT DBE and CCD MWBE certified company with certifications in NAICS 541330: Civil Engineering Services and NAICS 541330: Construction Engineering Services work codes.
