Services
Oilfield Services
We provide comprehensive oilfield construction and remediation services including lease building, road development, drill cuttings hauling, and contaminated waste management. Our fleet of 100+ trucks and owned gravel pits enable efficient material supply and site reclamation. With specialized equipment for hazardous material handling and landfill construction, we deliver start-to-finish solutions for Alberta's energy sector.
Civil Construction
Our civil construction division handles highway development, subdivision grading, water/sewer systems, and deep utility installations. Using GPS-equipped machinery and experienced operators, we complete complex projects like the 60 West Sylvan Lake development. Services include site servicing, lagoon construction, and municipal infrastructure upgrades across Alberta since 1994.
Environmental Services
We specialize in environmental cleanup including contaminated soil hauling, lease remediation, and reclamation. Our team uses specialized equipment like Allu/Twister buckets and trommel screens for efficient material processing. Services cover emergency spill response, asbestos removal, and erosion control, ensuring regulatory compliance and environmental protection for industrial clients.
Directional Drilling
Our directional drilling services install underground utilities with minimal surface disruption. Using Ditch Witch equipment with 100,000 lbs pullback capacity, we handle pipeline installations for municipal, utility, and oil & gas clients. This method reduces restoration costs and environmental impact compared to traditional trenching methods.
Trucking & Hauling
With over 100 gravel and lowbed trucks, we transport heavy equipment, aggregates, and oilfield materials across Alberta. Our fleet includes 48-wheel combinations for oversized loads and live-floor trailers for bulk materials. GPS tracking ensures safety and efficient dispatch for projects ranging from drill waste hauling to ice road construction.

The truck driver drove very close to my rear for 10 km blinding me with he's high beams untill I could find a place to pull over and let him go ahead. Very dangerous. In the middle of a blizzard.
