Services
Asphalt Paving
We provide comprehensive asphalt paving for municipal roadways, commercial parking lots, and subdivision roads. Our process incorporates reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) to reduce virgin material use by up to 25%, supporting LEED-certified projects while ensuring durable, cost-effective surfaces. Specialized techniques include patching, sealcoating, and crack filling for long-term performance.
Cold Milling
Our cold milling services utilize state-of-the-art equipment for precision asphalt and concrete removal across Western Canada. This technique prepares surfaces for resurfacing while recycling materials. Projects include airport runways, bridges, and industrial sites, with capabilities for both large-scale infrastructure and municipal road maintenance.
Concrete Construction
We execute commercial concrete projects ranging from sidewalks to transit centers. Our ten hand crews and machine teams specialize in decorative plazas, ramps, and pathways using advanced extrusion technology. The service includes both small-scale repairs and large warehouse site developments with focus on durability and aesthetic precision.
Full-Depth Reclamation
This sustainable solution pulverizes existing pavement and sub-base materials to create new road foundations. Using foamed asphalt stabilization, we transform worn-out roads into durable surfaces while reducing material waste. The process is ideal for municipal and industrial projects requiring long-lasting, cost-effective road rehabilitation.
Seasonal Services
Our fleet provides commercial snow removal and road sweeping services tailored to Alberta's climate. We maintain clear roadways and parking lots through proactive winter preparedness, ensuring safety during harsh weather.

Horrible company that uses employees. For a spring cleaning you keep those guys on even after you drop $3/h only to layoff your heavy mechanics. I hope the Alberta Labour Board investigates and shuts down not only O'Hanlon but the Fath group as a hole. Discussing people. You should be ashamed of yourselves
