We pride ourselves on working with our clients and stakeholders to achieve the project goals. With our collaborative efforts and experience, we have been able to complete projects all across Canada ranging from tens of thousands to tens of millions of dollars.

The backbone of our company is the installation of private and public utility networks. Our grassroots lie in the power (hydro utility) and telecommunications sectors; however, over the years we have grown to cover a wider range of utilities including water, sewer, railroad utilities, site servicing and renewable energy. Within these sectors, work is completed employing a wide range of installation techniques, although we specialize in projects involving trenchless construction such as horizontal directional drilling, plowing, guided boring and/or pipe bursting.

Our history dates back over 110 years to 1906 when the Ontario Legislature passed the Power Commission Act establishing the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario (HEPC). Since then, we have worked to energize life for people and communities, helping Ontarians live a better and brighter future.
