Rysen provides subdrain installation support for projects where drainage infrastructure must be placed in confined or technically demanding conditions. Using special gear designed to dig narrow and deep trenches, we are able to complete subdrain excavation efficiently while maintaining the control required around adjacent earthworks and structures.

Our broader experience on Edmonton’s major civil projects gives us an advantage when subdrain work is tied to bridge approaches, head slope construction, MSE wall zones, and roadway reconstruction. We understand how the drainage scope fits into the larger sequence and coordinate the work so it supports, rather than delays, the schedule.

"Rysen is experienced in subdrain installation and has special gear designed to dig narrow and deep trenches."
Because Rysen also self-performs structural excavation, embankments, removals, grading, and support equipment scopes, we can integrate subdrain work with the surrounding activities on site. That means cleaner handoffs, better production flow, and fewer gaps between trades. Our in-house maintenance facility in Acheson helps keep equipment ready for fast mobilization and dependable field performance on active projects across the Edmonton region.

What makes us different.

Specialized trenching capability

Rysen has special gear designed to dig narrow and deep trenches, helping us execute subdrain work cleanly where access and width are limited.

Urban and obstructed site experience

Our crews are used to working in busy corridors, around structures, and inside active civil projects where efficient sequencing matters.

In-House Maintenance

Licensed maintenance facility in Acheson keeps our equipment available. High equipment uptime means we stay on your schedule, not the other way around.

Strong bridge and earthworks background

Subdrain scopes often connect directly to head slopes, MSE walls, and bridge approaches, areas where Rysen already has extensive experience.
