It takes skill - and teamwork.
Dan Hamson and Chad Barzen expertly launched this 60 ft span of 6’ wide pipe on our Annacis main project in Surrey. It’s a talented team that makes it look this easy!

We’re continuing Behind the Paddle: a series showcasing just a few of the talented Traffic Control personnel who help to keep the public and our crews safe.
Meet Ivy Thompson from Universal Group.
If you’ve been on one of our sites, chances are you’ve seen Ivy in action keeping things moving, keeping people safe, and doing it all with a great attitude. She’s reliable, consistent, and someone our crews can count on day in and day out.
From managing traffic flow to looking out for our crews and the public, Ivy plays a huge role in making sure everyone gets home at the end of the day. This is what professionalism looks like.

New iron alert! 💪
We’re welcoming a @johndeere 345P limited tail swing excavator to the family!
Corey Shupe, one of our talented operators, is tasked with breaking in this new piece of equipment. It’s his turn for that “new car smell” in the cab!
Big thanks to our friends at @vinyllabs for the gussying up with our decals, and to @btlsurrey for helping us with purchasing this beauty.
Let’s see what she can do! We’ll see her on site!

Behind the Paddle: Meet Kelly
We’re kicking off our new “Behind the Paddle” series by highlighting one of the friendly faces helping keep our projects moving smoothly every day, Kelly Maddox.
If you’ve driven through one of our work zones, there’s a good chance you’ve been greeted by Kelly’s positive attitude and welcoming smile. She brings patience, professionalism, and consistency to every shift, and she’s someone both our crews and the public can count on.
For Kelly, the work is personal.
“Safety is important to me because I am a Mom, and I want everyone’s kids (including my adult children), to come home alive & safe.
I like flagging because I always try to think from a driver’s perspective and do the best that I can to keep a clear pathway. I hope that being pleasant and polite will help make your drive through my work zone that much better!”
Kelly’s ability to connect with the public while staying focused and dependable is a huge part of what makes her so valued on site. We are grateful to her for being such an incredible representative of what professionalism, positivity, and care look like out in the field.

There’s nothing like a hot dog lunch on site! 🌭
On Friday, one of our incredible neighbours put on a hot lunch for our Annacis Main crew. It was a fantastic way to wrap up the week in the sunshine.
We count ourselves lucky to work in such a great community!

Friday feels a great day for a graduation! 🎓
Kingston Davis’s green hard hat has to sit on the shelf; he’s wearing yellow to work now.
Kingston’s crew on our Annacis Main project is just as excited as he is! Keep up the great work, bud!

When you realize you’re working with a star! ⭐️
The Marpole team discovered that their foreman, Cody Douglas, is Mr June in the B&B calendar. Of course, they had to ask for an autograph!
We have a feeling it will be the same month all year at the site office!

Today, April 28th, marks the National Day of Mourning.
Today is an opportunity to remember the workers who have lost their lives, been injured, or become ill while on the job. At B&B, this day reinforces what matters most: looking out for one another and ensuring that we’re doing the job the right way, every time.
Because every worker should go home safe.

We are honoured to be working on Semiahmoo First Nation land and grateful for the opportunity to work with this wonderful community. Situated along a beautiful stretch of ocean, this land is a meaningful place to work and build relationships.
We’re looking forward to our upcoming on-site luncheon this Friday from 12-4, open to all SFN members, B&B employees and project stakeholders. We will have the chance to connect, share a meal, and get to know each other a little better.
We hope this is just the beginning of a great partnership.

Out at Saskay, Bryan Linde absolutely crushed it. 💪 Yesterday, one of our customers over-ordered by 3 truck loads - but for Bryan, that was no problem.
He stepped up and with the help of production supervisor, Kelly Shorter, they placed the concrete for our new aggregate bins.
We are very proud of our crew and their ability to pivot whenever needed! And to be honest, they make it look easy.

We are so grateful for Colton Roy’s brain!
He and Nikki, owners of @royalrigging , visited the shop this week. Colton provided us with valuable training in rigging inspection and best practices - a crucial part of safe lifting in the field. We are excited to share these lessons with our team! Thanks again to Colton and Nikki for this fantastic partnership and to @trugrit.ca for capturing it all! 💪
