Historical Information

  • We have completed Trenchless projects with Pipe diameters ranging from 1’’ to 12’’.
  • We have completed Trenchless projects in all areas of Alberta and Saskatchewan and have also complete projects into Manitoba.
  • BPC Completed there first “Trenchless pipeline” project in 2010

Those 198 projects totaled 1637 bores Completed for a combine length of 356,435m of pipe installed.


Testimonials


My biggest plus with doing 100% bored pipelines is the lack of ground disturbance which is more appealing to the public and landowners, also the ground doesn’t settle or sink in areas and spring cleanup is minimal. Farmers or landowners are typically happy with 100% bored projects as they don’t have to wait on us to re-seed, pick rocks, etc. because the ground was minimally disturbed. The bored work can keep natures beauty at it’s finest, and you won’t know underground infrastructure exists to the naked eye when boring takes place. – Engineer, 2022
