Understanding Rango’s Work and Approach
What Types of Projects does Rango Specialize in?
Rango is built to take on large-scale mining and construction projects that demand both capacity and precision. Our core expertise lies in mass excavation, custom contract mining, and infrastructure development, where we move more than 100 million tons of material each year using advanced truck-and-shovel fleets. We work across multiple sectors, including frac sand, aggregates, base minerals, and precious metals, and have established ourselves as one of the leading contract miners in the United States.
Beyond mining, Rango delivers comprehensive construction capabilities, from building leach pads, drill pads, and utility trenches to constructing roads, pipelines, and other critical infrastructure. Our integrated approach allows us to manage entire project lifecycles—from site preparation and surveying to material handling, hauling, and final reclamation.

Whether supporting mine development, public infrastructure, or large construction initiatives, Rango has the people, equipment, and experience to get the job done right.
How does Rango prioritize safety on construction and mining sites?
At Rango, safety is more than a policy—it is a core value that guides every aspect of our operations. All employees maintain MSHA Part 46 and Part 48 certifications, ensuring they are trained and qualified to work safely in both surface and underground environments. We reinforce this foundation with ongoing safety education, daily site briefings, and frequent audits that keep teams alert and accountable. Our equipment is maintained to the highest standards and outfitted with advanced safety features, reducing risks on the job. Just as important, we foster a culture where every employee is empowered to speak up and stop work if they identify a hazard. This proactive approach ensures our crews, clients, and partners can count on safe, well-managed job sites every time.
How does Rango address environmental concerns and sustainability?
Rango is deeply committed to environmental stewardship, understanding that responsible operations today protect the resources and communities of tomorrow. We integrate sustainable construction practices into every project, focusing on minimizing land disturbance, managing water responsibly, and reducing emissions through efficient fleet operations. In mining, we employ advanced techniques that maximize recovery while limiting environmental impact. Beyond production, we take an active role in reclamation, restoring mined land to beneficial use—whether that means returning it to natural habitat, preparing it for future development, or ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. From small-scale projects to complex Superfund initiatives, our dedication to sustainability reflects a long-term respect for the land and the people who depend on it.
