Full-scope civil contracting, one crew

Shewálh is an Indigenous-owned BC contractor. Our civil division works on subdivisions, commercial developments, municipal upgrades, and infrastructure projects across the province. We bring the equipment, the certified operators, and the paperwork discipline to keep your project moving and inspection-ready.

Every civil job runs through the same standard: a safe site, accurate grades, and work that matches the spec the first time. Our foremen carry MMCD standards and each municipality's supplementary specifications in the field, so decisions get made against the right document, not a best guess.

Site preparation and earthwork

Clearing, grubbing, grading, and bulk earthwork to bring raw ground to a build-ready state. We handle erosion and sediment control, structural fill, and compaction testing coordination so the next trade starts on solid ground.

Underground utilities

Storm sewer, sanitary sewer, forcemain, watermain, and dry utility installation for residential, commercial, and municipal work. Trenching, bedding, service connections, and tie-ins, done to spec and backfilled properly.

Roadwork and paving

Municipal roadways and access roads to MMCD and MoTI standards. Subgrade prep, granular base, road widening, and asphalt coordination for public and private clients.

Excavation

Bulk and detailed excavation, trenching, rock work, and demolition with a modern fleet and crews who treat spoil management and shoring as part of the job, not an afterthought.

Retaining walls

MSE walls, segmental block systems, and slope stabilization for grade separation. Wall work is delivered with qualified engineering sign-off where the design calls for it.

Built for Every Phase of the Job

Subdivisions & land development

Site servicing from clearing through to road and utility completion, coordinated with your surveyor and engineer.

Municipal infrastructure

Utility upgrades, road improvements, and public works delivered to MMCD specification with clean documentation.

Commercial site works

Pads, parking, servicing, and grading for commercial and industrial developments across BC.

Short-notice and emergency

When a project needs crews fast, our dispatch mobilizes the right equipment and certified people quickly.

Our Process, Step by Step

Every civil job follows the same disciplined path, from the first site walk to final restoration.

01

Site assessment & survey

We walk the site, review the drawings, and confirm ground conditions and access before a machine moves.

02

Earthworks & excavation

Clearing, excavation, grading, and shoring to plan and to MMCD and MoTI standards, with safety controls in place.

03

Underground utilities

Storm, sanitary, and water services installed, tied in, and inspected, coordinated with the trades on site.

04

Base & restoration

Sub-base, backfill, compaction, and surface restoration, finished and documented so the next stage starts clean.
