History of BRT Construction Services Ltd.

BRT Construction Services Ltd. was established in 1989, by Tim and Brian Mack, as a general contracting company in the construction industry. Upon commencing operations, the company established ties with Telus, then known as AGT, with whom Brian and Tim had dealt with for many years while with Mack Construction. After a short period of time BRT Construction gained a reputation as specialists in shallow utility construction. Over the years BRT has done shallow utility construction for Telus, Bell West, Allstream, Enmax, Atco, Shaw, City of Calgary, and numerous other private companies.

In recent years BRT has vastly advanced its capabilities in the areas of utility construction. BRT Construction is competent in everything from the placement of long haul backbone fibre runs to constructing duct systems in confined or restrictive environments. During peak periods the company employs over 50 personnel and makes use of an extensive array of equipment including horizontal direction drills, trackhoes, backhoes, hydrovacs, and an assortment of other specialty trucks and equipment.

Traditionally, utility construction has involved trenching and excavating using large machinery to open up the ground. However, in 1996 BRT diversified into the area of trenchless technology, making extensive use of horizontal directional drilling equipment. The demand for directional drilling is growing quickly as more organizations, engineers, and the general public become aware of the benefits gained by this form of utility construction.
