Excavation for general contractors
PCE has decades of experience working alongside major contractors on complex projects. The job is yours; our part is the excavation.
What you get from PCE
- Capacity when you need it
- 17 excavators, from compact machines that fit inside buildings to production excavators for bulk digging and truck loading.
- Vetted, certified operators
- Every PCE operator is vetted through hands-on evaluation and proven competency. Certifications include confined space entry and major infrastructure projects like the Trans Mountain Pipeline.
- A 25-year incident-free record
- A safety record that meets and exceeds the safety requirements of the industry’s top construction firms.
- Range
- Commercial and high-rise excavation, civil and utilities, environmental work, demolition and remote barge-access sites, all from one excavation partner.
Matcon and Matcon Environmental have brought PCE onto high-rise excavation, commercial excavation, an ocean disposal facility, the Rivers Inlet bridge and Interior environmental projects.
This company has got to be one of the best companies I’ve ever had the pleasure working with and for. They have probably the best operators in the industry and have been mentored and managed by one of the most experienced and talented man that I’ve ever met in the construction world. It’s always a pleasure to work around and be around Norm Svennson and his team.
