Advanced solutions for every earthworks challenge.

Rysen brings a unique advantage to high-profile and complex civil projects. Our fleet, experienced operators, and licensed in-house maintenance facility in Acheson let us right-size our operation to meet job needs — with flexibility on work hours and the ability to mobilize quickly. We provide unit rates for defined work packages, or hourly rates for any support equipment you need.

Structural Excavation & Embankments

75+

Bridge approaches completed in the past 10 years

Certain projects have excavation and removals that require finesse. This work can be slow and excluded by other contractors. Rysen has been involved in MSE wall excavation and backfill, structural (pile caps, piers, approach slabs, abutments) excavation and backfill, laydown and detour construction.

Rysen is a specialist at embankment and head slope construction. We have finished over 75 bridge approaches in the past 10 years. Rysen’s role on these varied between contracts, however, the final detailed grading was done by Rysen.

Detailed Removals

Removals are required as part of any project. Rysen has work experience in urban settings on LRT projects like no other contractor in Edmonton. Rysen provided the tandem fleet and supplemental equipment for the Valley Line LRT from downtown to Millwood’s Town Center.

Rysen also provides hard surface removal in some busy areas and recently completed the concrete, asphalt and gravel removals on the North side of West Edmonton Mall on 90 Ave. Rysen also completed the 112 Ave Rehab between 68 St and 50 St, which is a major arterial roadway with detailed asphalt, concrete and gravel removal.

Granular Base Course

100K+

Tonnes placed in the last 3 years

Rysen has experience in large and small GBC projects. We have several graders, steel and pneumatic compaction equipment, water trucks and loaders/skid steers. We have completed over 100,000 tonnes of gravel base course placement in the last 3 years.

Subdrain Installation

Rysen is experienced in subdrain installation and has special gear specifically designed to dig narrow and deep trenches. Critical drainage systems are often the most precise and unforgiving work on a civil project — Rysen’s specialized equipment handles them efficiently without disrupting adjacent work zones.

Supplemental Equipment & Support

Need water delivered to top up tanks or keep dust down? Compaction equipment for bridge backfill? Rysen has a large mobility truck to move your gear. Need a laydown built for site offices — Rysen will build it.

Hourly rates available for any support equipment: tandems, small and medium excavators, dozers. Available on quick turnarounds with flexibility on work hours.
