Our past and current projects range in size from single residential lots to large scale commercial and industrial developments.
Excavation, Trenching & Backfilling
CVC has a comprehensive fleet of equipment geared specifically toward Excavation & Backfilling. Our skilled personnel are masters in their craft, capable of delicately digging close to existing structures & obstacles, accessing hard-to-reach areas, and effectively removing material in compact and unprocessed ground.
CVC provides temporary protective structures when required for trenching, as the safety of our employees, clients and partners is a priority.
Excavation, Trenching & Backfilling serves a wide range of tasks, some examples include:
- Trenching for Stormwater Management
- Preparation for Utility Installation
- Foundation Preparation and Backfilling
- Adding or Removing Gravel to Achieve Elevations
These services often go hand in hand with site preparation, soil compaction and site grading.
Our gravel supply, offsite disposal site, and trucking fleet allow us to offer a cost-effective service, as there is no middleman in sourcing and moving gravel and disposing of excess soil.
Preloading
CVC is proud to provide the most competitive service of supply, placement & removal of preload material for customers in the Sea to Sky region. Preloading is an effective and economical ground improvement method used to increase the amount of load that soil can bear and reduce settlement from occurring after construction.
CVC works with clients to minimize offsite disposal of the preload material and maximize on-site repurposing to create a strategic approach to best suit schedules and budgets.

Since our Company origins in 1979, our communities in the Sea to Sky region have seen exponential growth. CVC is proud to have played an integral role in the installation of new municipal utilities and updating aging infrastructure to meet the demands of our growing communities.
The CVC team has extensive local knowledge of municipal specifications, ground conditions and environmental concerns that may surround local utilities.
This may include installation or replacement of:
- Stormwater
- Sanitary Sewer
