Sellenriek Construction work areas had expanded and employment grew to roughly twenty-five employees. In addition to the growth of service areas and employees, Bob and Dixie now had three children, Steve, Heath and Joy.
Services Sellenriek Construction could provide grew in 1991 when it purchased its first horizontal directional boring machine. In January 1998 the corporation purchased Cable Plow, Inc. located in Lewistown, Missouri allowing Sellenriek Construction Inc. to better serve its growing list of clients.
