Nelson River Construction was the first firm in Winnipeg to mine tunnels by hand, and it was also the first to use mechanical tunneling, now one of our specialties.
Constant research has kept us abreast of developments in all aspects of our industry. We adopt some techniques, adapt others and develop new ones to maintain effectiveness. Typical examples are jacking of large diameter pipes and box culverts, cost effective methods that can enhance municipal infrastructure at the same time avoiding high cost excavation and traffic disruption.
