TESTIMONIALS

Praise from Our Clients

Signing up to a major downtown project with a 3-year timeline, BRT’s commitment to schedule, quality, and overall project success never diminished. They were able to accommodate a very challenging, multi-discipline project that constantly shifted the critical path and priority from one contractor to another. BRT would be an obvious choice for future projects with civil needs, especially when strong coordination and communication are key.”

Spencer Yaredic

Project Manager, Graham Construction

We recently had BRT out on one of our projects for my first time and they were an absolute pleasure to work with. The whole process felt easy. Good communication, solid work, and a crew that genuinely cared about doing the job right.

One thing that really stood out was their approach to safety, especially with trench safety. There was never any pushback or convincing needed. They were fully bought into the way we run our sites and fit right in with our culture from the start. That made things run smoothly and created a trusting and strong working relationship between both teams.

Nothing but good things to say about the team at BRT. Looking forward to working together again.

Jay Lawrence

Sr. Superintendent, EllisDon

From the beginning, BRT understood my vision and my goals. I would absolutely recommend BRT because they have a knowledgeable team who cares about you, your space, and caring for the environment while in the process of completing work. All my expectations were exceeded!

Can you handle projects in sensitive or high-traffic urban environments?

Answer: Yes. We specialize in Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD), which allows us to install utilities under roads, railways, and existing structures with minimal surface disruption. This “trenchless” approach is ideal for urban areas like Calgary or Kelowna where traditional excavation would cause major traffic delays or environmental damage.

Is your team equipped to manage the entire lifecycle of a utility project?

Answer: We offer a turnkey solution. BRT doesn’t just dig the hole; we provide everything from hydrovac daylighting and caisson piling to cable pulling, splicing, and final asphalt repair. Having one point of contact for the entire utility install reduces coordination headaches and keeps the project timeline on track.

What is your capacity for large-scale, deep-foundation work?

Answer: We have a robust fleet capable of specialized drilling and piling. Our equipment can handle Caisson and Piling projects reaching depths of up to 60 feet and diameters of up to 90 inches. This makes us a reliable partner for street lighting, cell towers, and substantial green energy infrastructure foundations.

How do you handle emergency repairs or tight deadlines for major providers?

Answer: With over 30 years in the industry and a large, multi-province fleet, we are built for scalability and responsiveness. We have a proven track record of meeting the high-pressure demands of major telecommunications and power providers (like Telus and Enmax), ensuring that critical infrastructure stays live or gets back online quickly
