BRT has worked on high profile sites, as well as building sites for many clients including private and utility. These Duct structures often include Precast or custom built Manholes and Pullboxes.

Tower / Solar / Wind Foundations Green Energy

We specialize in the design and installation of robust, high-quality foundations for towers, solar arrays, and wind turbines, ensuring the stability and longevity of green energy infrastructure. With years of experience in civil construction, our team uses the latest techniques and materials to deliver reliable, cost-effective solutions that meet the specific demands of renewable energy projects. Whether it’s supporting towering wind turbines or solar panel installations, we provide sustainable, durable foundations that help power the future.

Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD)

Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is the preferred method for subsurface installation in both environmentally sensitive areas and urban centres. By eliminating open trenching, HDD minimizes surface disruption while enabling precise crossings beneath roads, rivers, buildings, and railway infrastructure.

The process begins with a drill string guided by a specialized drill bit, which is simultaneously rotated and steered along a predetermined bore path. An integrated guidance system transmits real-time data on pitch, roll, and depth, allowing operators to achieve accurate placement over significant distances.

Once the pilot bore is complete, a backreamer and the product pipe are attached to the drill string and pulled back through the bore, enlarging the hole to the required diameter as the product is drawn into position.

Upon completion, surface rehabilitation is limited to the entry and exit points, leaving the surrounding area largely undisturbed.

Solar Field Foundations

The success of a solar field starts at ground level. BRT Construction provides concrete foundation solutions for utility-scale solar installations, designed to handle the structural demands of heavy racking systems in varying soil and site conditions.

From layout and excavation to pour and cure, we manage every step with the same integrity and foresight we bring to every project. When the panels go up, the ground beneath them is ready.

Septic Field Foundations

The performance of a septic system depends on what happens below the surface. BRT Construction provides excavation and site preparation for residential and commercial septic installations, designed to meet municipal requirements and perform reliably in varying soil and site conditions.

From layout and excavation to backfill and grade, we manage every step with the same integrity and foresight we bring to every project. When the system goes in, the groundwork is already done right.
