Technical
What we bring to a right-of-way
Production rates
Up to 3 km of ditch rock drilled and blasted per day on the Maritimes & Northeast mainline.
Horizontal drilling
Rollover capability for grade and side-slope work where conventional access isn't possible.
Rough terrain
Purpose-built carriers and long-reach pumping for remote right-of-way with minimal access construction.
