CORPORATE PROFILE
|
Company History |
|
|
In January 2014, in an effort to continually evolve, the B&B Group separated the Bulk Excavation and Shoring works from the parent contracting company. Effective January 1, 2014 all Bulk Excavation and Shoring projects will be completed under the new corporation "Ekset Excavations and Shoring Ltd." As the company continues to grow, this new corporate alignment will offer clarity to our customers and allow both corporate identities to concentrate and specialize on their strengths. |

• Ekset Excavation and Shoring Ltd. provides lump sum and unit rate contracts to a wide variety of private developers, municipal and provincial clients for all projects which include large scale excavation and shoring works. • During a typical working day, Ekset Excavations and Shoring Ltd. will utilize over 200 Gravel Trucks in association with our Aggregate division. • Ekset currently operates 4 all-weather dump sites at its quarry and gravel operations, as well as other fill sites as required. During the winter season many of the other competing contractors utilize our all-weather dump sites. • Ekset does not currently own a shoring division, however our reputation in the industry and years of positive relationships with suppliers and subcontractors allow us to acquire very competitive pricing from the multiple local qualified shoring contractors. |
