With expertise in GPS-guided grading and helical pile installation, we deliver efficient solutions for utility-scale solar developments across Ontario.
Asphalt Paving
Our paving services cover complete driveway and parking lot rehabilitation, from removal of existing surfaces to asphalt placement. Using modern equipment and techniques, we create durable, aesthetically pleasing surfaces for residential and commercial properties. Projects include proper grading and drainage solutions to ensure longevity and performance in all weather conditions.

We provide non-destructive hydro excavation using high-pressure water and vacuum systems to safely expose underground utilities. This method ensures precise daylighting of electrical cables and pipelines while minimizing damage risks. Our services include catch basin cleaning, storm main flushing, and safe excavation for foundations or pools.

We offer a diverse fleet of construction equipment for short-term and long-term projects. Available options include mini excavators, skid steers, and 6x6 rock trucks for residential and commercial applications.

We provide elevation calculations, stockpile volume measurements, and precise layout for construction projects.
