PROJECT Snapshot

Lower Nicola Site Services (LNSS), a partnership between Infracon and the Lower Nicola Indian Band Corp., operates Kuiper’s Pit. LNSS undertook operations in 2019 after making several upgrades and repairs to improve safety and operability, including re-aligning the access road, developing  a five-year blasting plan and conducting a full geotechnical assessment. Today, Kuiper’s Pit is a fully- functioning gravel production area, supplying local businesses with a proven resource of 400,000 m3 of material.

WESTPRO INFRASTRUCTURE

“Infracon successfully completed a project for Westpro Infrastructure in Fort McMurray, Alberta in the summer 2013. I found their management team to be committed to the completion of a top quality project. Infracon personnel were knowledgeable, hard-working and professional in all aspects of their work. Infracon simply performed a miracle – mobilized in one week notice and was able to complete earth and civil works on time in spite of the record-breaking wettest summer in 30 years.”
