There are roughly 719,000 kms of road in BC, and we've been fortunate to work on many of them. For over eight decades, our multi-disciplined contracting services have been instrumental in the construction of major transportation and infrastructure projects across the province.
We do things right the first time, whether that’s building roads, aggregate production, underground utilities, asphalt paving, bridge building, land development, or any other service we offer. Cutting corners isn’t in our playbook.
We have provided milling and paving services on some of BC’s busiest roadways. With our stationary asphalt plant in West Kelowna and our mobile in-house asphalt team ready for dispatch, our unmatched paving services have improved roads and highways across Western Canada. Our services extend from roadways to commercial and residential developments, community parking lots, industrial parks, and private residences.
We specialize in complex rock excavations and grading projects, successfully completing a wide range of roadbuilding and heavy civil construction projects in both urban and remote locations across the province. Led by a dedicated team of management, supervisors, and support staff, we are committed to delivering innovative solutions and enhancing our reputation for excellence and stakeholder collaboration.

Whether working on major highways, active railways, hydro plants, or dams, we approach each project with precision, ensuring sensitive ecosystems and nearby residential areas are treated with the utmost care.
The vast majority of highways in British Columbia have benefitted from the expertise of Emil Anderson’s teams in some capacity. In our 80 years, we have constructed some of the province’s most vital transportation corridors, earning recognition for innovation, safety, and the long-term durability of our work, including the rebuilding of critical infrastructure after natural disasters. Landmark projects like Kicking Horse Canyon Phase 4 and the Highway 1 Illecillewaet Four-Laning Project are lasting testaments to our team's dedication and craftsmanship.
Emil Anderson Construction has extensive experience in municipal infrastructure projects, including water, sewer, and stormwater systems, as well as roadways and urban development.

Tight timelines, specialized design, and demanding safety procedures—repaving and reconstructing airport runways are among the most challenging types of construction. Emil Anderson Construction is one of the few contractors in BC with the expertise and experience to handle these technically sophisticated jobs. From runway pavement maintenance to major airport upgrades, we’ve worked on some of the busiest airports in the province.
Emil Anderson Construction is a trusted site developer with the expertise to self-perform all civil work, asphalt paving, aggregate production, traffic control, and surveying for commercial and residential projects.

For new home builds, we collaborate with developers and contractors to deliver roadways and site servicing to the highest standards, ensuring quality and efficiency across all projects.
The four-lane highway upgrade will include the construction of a centre median, roadside barriers, rockfall and avalanche mitigation, as well as climate change resiliency. Early construction is planned to begin in the fall of 2024 with major construction commencing in the spring of 2025.
We build and maintain the critical infrastructure that keeps our communities connected, from airport asphalt paving to bridges, highways, and land development. Our service offerings are comprehensive because we have the experience and expertise to do them at an industry-leading standard.
We take pride in our work and its impact on our community. That commitment extends from how we support our team and ensure high-quality builds to the ways we show up in our community off the worksite.
