01 / The News

Four of Western Canada's established construction and infrastructure companies have united under a single parent company.

Prairie North, ENGCON, BTO Contracting and Ventura Power & Gas are now one group: Theoden Infrastructure. Together, the group offers a broader array of infrastructure construction services: heavy civil construction, earthworks, road building, underground and shallow utilities, utility renewal & rehabilitation, environmental containment, and energy services. One partner with the size, scale and resources for larger, more complex projects, without losing the specialized crews and relationships clients already rely on.

“Clients kept asking us for one partner who could take on an entire project rather than a piece of it. The scope was always there across our companies. What was missing was a way to deliver it under one contract. That's what we've built.”

Chris Porter · Chief Executive Officer, Theoden Infrastructure

02 / For Existing Clients

Nothing changes on your project.

Current projects, contacts and agreements continue exactly as they are, and each company keeps its name through the transition. Same crews, same phone numbers, same standards on site. What changes is the size of job the group can take on.

03 / What This Means

One banner.
Broader capability.

01

A Stronger, More Complete Partner

Deep experience across heavy civil, earthworks, site development, road building, utility renewal & rehabilitation, infrastructure servicing, project management, specialized equipment, power and gas services, asset management and finance, all under one banner. Project financing solutions, including new options for remote resource roads, are also in development.

02

Continuity for Clients & Partners

No disruption to current projects, contracts or relationships. Each company keeps its trade name for now, transitioning gradually to the Theoden brand over the next 12–24 months. The teams you work with today are the teams you keep.

03

New: Drones & Robotics Division

Building on aerial services the group already offers: surveying and mapping, progress tracking, inspection and thermal imaging, cleaning and coating, aerial lifting, firefighting support and site lighting. Drone LiDAR that replaces slower, costlier helicopter survey work.

04

Technology Forward

AI-enabled capabilities rolling out across the business: sharper forecasting, scheduling, estimating, cost control and predictive maintenance. Projects delivered safer, faster, on budget.

Roads. Water. Power. Ground. Most companies build one of them. We build all of it with robotics, AI, and fifty years of dirt under our nails.

The industry calls it the future.
We call it Tuesday.
