Mobile crushing on Vancouver Island.

We cross to the Island and crush on your site, to your spec. The ferry is priced into the mobilization, not buried in it.

Across the water, with the plant and the crew.

Reaching the Island means a ferry on top of the haul, and we build that crossing into the quote instead of burying it. Tell us the tonnage and the spec and we will price the crossing with the job.

We supply nothing from the Summerland pit at this distance. What travels is the crushing spread and a mine-supervisor-certified crew, for forestry, quarry, municipal, and highway work.

Supporting projects in Nanaimo.

A Nanaimo job carries the crossing as well as the haul, and that cost sits in the quote where you can see it. The plant and the crew cross over and crush on your site, to your spec, for municipal, highway, and quarry work.

For projects around Nanaimo, Ladysmith, Parksville, and Cedar, send the gradation, the volume, and the site access, and we will price the job with the ferry and mobilization included.

Mobile crushing in Campbell River.

Campbell River is a long way up the Island, and that distance is part of the price. We bring the plant to your pit or quarry, produce road base, sub-base, and spec aggregate on site, then pull out. Forestry roads, utility work, and municipal projects are the jobs that make the trip worth making.

The ferry and the haul are part of the number, and we put them on the quote rather than in the margin. An Island job is one mobilization, for sites around Campbell River, Courtenay, Comox, and up toward Sayward. Give us the spec and the tonnage and we will price it.

On-site aggregate production in Duncan.

In the Cowichan Valley we work the way we work everywhere off the pit. Our crews travel to you and the plant crushes on your ground. Duncan area projects that need spec aggregate produced on site, for municipal, highway, or quarry work, are the ones worth mobilizing for.

Getting to the Island costs money before anything gets crushed, so we build that into the quote instead of burying it. For sites around Duncan, Chemainus, Lake Cowichan, and Mill Bay, send the gradation, the volume, and the access, and we will price the job.

Crushing to specification in Port Alberni.

Port Alberni sits inland on the Island, with forestry and highway work that runs on aggregate crushed close to where it is used. We mobilize the plant to your pit, crush to the gradation your job references, and build the stockpile where you want it.

The plant travels with the crew and the certifications, the same as it does anywhere off the pit. Work around Port Alberni, Sproat Lake, and the Highway 4 corridor is priced with the ferry and mobilization included, quoted before the plant moves. Send the spec and we will price it.

The ferry crossing is built into an Island quote, not added to it afterwards.

Our leadership holds mine manager certification, the senior level of BC Mines Act supervision. Our crew includes a shift-boss-certified supervisor, trained to oversee sites running multiple contractors. Our crew is mine-supervisor-certified under the BC Mines Act. The plant and crew travel to your site.
