About Us
Our Mission
For more than half a century, our team has proudly provided highway maintenance, bridge maintenance, and road construction services throughout British Columbia. Built on a foundation of safety, quality, and reliability, we are committed to protecting vital transportation infrastructure and delivering the highest level of service to the Province and the communities we serve.
Our mission is to deliver safe, reliable, and high-quality services through innovation, continuous improvement, and integrity, while protecting the environment, supporting our communities, and ensuring the well-being of our employees.
Our History
Prior to the formation of Capilano, we operated as Edco Construction Company. Since 1975, we have been involved in the construction of municipal roads, highways, railway grades, industrial and mine sites, and residential subdivisions. In 1988, Capilano began to specialize in road and bridge maintenance and so began our long history of service to the communities from the Metro Vancouver Area, to the Sunshine Coast, and Sea to Sky corridor.
Our greatest strength has always been our people. Our success has been built on the dedication, skill, and commitment of our employees, whose hard work helps keep people and communities connected every day.
We have performed routine and preventative maintenance services on over 500 km of busy highways, rural roads, and over 200 structures including the Iron Workers Memorial Second Narrows Bridge, the Cassiar Tunnel and the Lions Gate Bridge. In addition to the above, Capilano has expertise in residential and commercial land development, underground utilities, paving, traffic management, and snow removal for residential, commercial, and industrial sites, including public schools and transit.
To this day, with our partner companies, we operate and maintain the iconic Sea to Sky Highway from Horseshoe Bay to Duffey Lake, east of Pemberton. We provide maintenance and construction services on the Sunshine Coast, including the Powell River area with the same standard of excellence we have been providing from the beginning.
