The Concrete Wilderness
If you have Netflix (and who doesn’t?) you may have noticed Planet Earth II is out. Episode 6 of Planet Earth II is actually not about a typical wilderness, it’s about cities.

What’s the deal with GPR Scanning?

Spring/Construction Season is Here
With the first day of spring and officially having more sunlight than darkness we can finally breath easy and celebrate the arrival of construction season! There’s an old saying in Alberta.

New Year’s resolutions… almost all of us make them, even if we have little hope of keeping them or if we disagree with the practice entirely. It’s simply too tempting to look forward to a fresh start and want to make the most of it. What New Year’s resolutions have you made and how are […]

We celebrated twenty years in Business, too. This celebration started last January when 2018 marked our 20th anniversary. We gained many new customers during […]
Introduction to Slab Sawing

Introduction to Wall Sawing
It’s been a while since our last introduction blog post. In that one, we discussed core drilling. In this one, we’re going to discuss wall sawing in enough detail that customers can feel prepared for the type of work we will be doing. None of these introductions are intended to be complete, and they couldn’t […]
