PROJECT Snapshot

The Forestry Trunk Road project was a large-scale hauling operation in the heart of the Rocky Mountain Foothills. The hauling was completed with time to spare and without incident, despite encountering solid rock and requiring the facilitation of a blasting operation. As with all of our projects, our dedication to preserving the environment was at the forefront of our operation. The new roadway was built over two oil and gas pipelines that were exposed with care and armored with preformed concrete protective pads.

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.”
