Services
From Matcon Knappett’s origins in excavation and shoring and underground utility sectors, our longevity and track record in the industry has created an unparalleled service offering that meets customers’ needs top to bottom. We continually invest in technology and the training of our people to deepen our existing service offering and expand into new services.
These services include Deep Foundation, Rock Stabilization, Excavation and Environmental Remediation, Demolition, Civil Infrastructure, Rock Stabilization, and Waste and Soil Management across Infrastructure, Residential, Commercial, and Institutional sectors.
Excavation & Shoring
We are in industry leader in Excavation Shoring services, having delivered some of Western Canada’s most technically challenging projects. We commit to flawless commercial excavation while maintaining the highest safety and efficiency standards.
We start by accurately assessing and grading the site with our engineering team. Then, the team designs the excavation plan and guides clients through those plans for approval and once approved, we will manage all the anchoring, bolting, piling, grouting and concrete work. And we can scale our excavation services to any size client and complexity, including commercial, industrial, and residential development.
Among others, our specialties include bulk and detail excavation, trucking and disposal facilities, backfill and slab preparation, temporary and permanent shotcrete shoring, tie-background anchoring systems, structure/asset underpinning, internal bracing and raker systems.

Deep Foundations
We deliver Deep Foundation trade scopes for both internal and external clients, including temporary or permanent cut-off walls such as specialty jet grout, cased secant pile walls, and hybrid shoring wall systems using multiple technologies. Our work extends to caissons for foundations, seismic DCP anchors, micropiles, tunnel break-in/out blocks, and low or high mobility neat cementitious grouting. We operate drilling equipment using various skilled techniques such as large diameter bored piling drills, conventional hydraulic overburden drills, specialty limited access low-headroom drills, excavator mounted drills, and hand operated drills.

Environmental
As an environmental contractor, our services are structured around getting the job done properly while minimizing impact on the surrounding environment. We provide a wide range of wide range of environmental services such as excavation and soil disposal, barrier wall installation, permeable reactive barriers, soil stabilization and contaminated water collection and treatment.
In the case of site preparation, we effectively remove vegetation, demolish structures and extract roots from the soil. This is all a part of setting a clean foundation for future development of the site.
When remediating environmentally impacted sites, we take an integrated approach and will prioritize the use of remedial technologies along with civil construction methods to deliver sustainable solutions for the long-term.
Case Studies
Demolition
Demolition projects require strict protocol to ensure productivity, cost-efficiency, and importantly safety. At the same time, this process must be balanced with the uniqueness of the demolition. After all, no two sites are identical. And this balance is precisely our approach.
With the flexibility to demolish in residential, commercial, and industrial settings throughout Western Canada, we can handle any demolition challenge. Whether it be structural demolition, residential strip-outs, hazardous materials abatement, or environmental remediation services, we will work with you to understand regulations, plan each phase around them and execute proper protocol to seamlessly deliver the results you need.
To support our demolition services, we will even lead dismantling/deconstruction, selective demolition, concrete cutting/coring, hazardous material abatement, waste management and recycling. Our fulsome approach – proven on the most complex industrial and development sites – has assisted our customers for over 20 years.
Case Studies
Rock Stabilization
Our Rock Stabilization division offers comprehensive rock slope stabilization from conceptualization, land clearing, site development and construction. And we can tackle the most difficult, confined areas and tunnels in Canada.
Our expertise includes rock slope stabilization, slope support systems, rockfall mitigation and avalanche protection measures. Specific services include scaling, bolting, grouting, shotcrete, mesh, barrier and structure installations in remote access and steep terrain.
Case Studies
Civil Infrastructure
We have been at the center of Western Canada’s civil infrastructure development with public and private sector clients. During this time, we have provided end-to-end leadership from site assessment and grading, excavation, and construction whether it be with new projects or upgrades to rehabilitation within active urban environments.
Our work has included large scale water storm and sanitary sewer installation, including pump stations, roadworks, drainage, concrete works, streetlighting and site servicing. We also have an extensive track record in highways and local road infrastructure, including grading, drainage, signage installation, commercial asphalt paving, concrete curb and sidewalk, and road rehabilitation.
Regardless of the complexity of the civil project, we will deliver it safely and efficiently.
Case Studies
Waste & Soil Management
Our commitment to the environment and the community is at the heart of everything we do. This drives us to take great care in our soil disposal and waste management practices. We have a dedicated expert Landfill Management Team that ensures soil can continue to be accepted, transported, placed, and documented at the fill site while remaining compliant with environmental, geotechnical, and city regulations.
