OUR STORY
Our roots began as a small family business in 1968, a hay delivery and farm fence service. Back when gas was $0.33 per gallon, our founders, the Powells, realized that there was a need for roadside safety products, and began to evolve into what is known today as Powell Contracting.
Over the course of 50 years, our growth has run parallel with an increased need for road safety products and our growth as industry leaders across Canada. This rich history allows our scope to offer in-depth knowledge and experience in road user safety, client satisfaction, and establish various partnerships and new businesses.
Through offering a full road safety infrastructure installation service for steel beam guardrails, construction barriers, and crash cushions, we are able to provide fully integrated solutions to private and public projects alike. And that means together, we can deliver work that helps keep communities safe.
