Learn about us

We’ve all heard the slogan “Call before you dig”, when it comes to underground projects, there is really one place you have to call – B&C Trenching. If there’s underground work to be done, at your home, on the farm, or as part of a contract job, it’s important to get the job done right the first time around. Mistakes can cost money, time, and peace of mind. Fortunately for the Battlefords and its surrounding region, B&C Trenching has spent years doing it right.

B&C Trenching Ltd. has taken pride in operating their business in the Battlefords since it was founded in 1987 by the late Ray Bolig & Wayne Cook. The groundwork that was done by Ray Bolig and Wayne Cook laid the foundation that the company lives and breathes by today. Holding strong to the examples set, and working daily with the values of integrity, fairness, perseverance and reliability in mind B&C Trenching is proud to still be operating after 35 years.

Now in its second generation of family ownership, Wayne’s son Tyler and his wife, Jennifer, are at the helm of B&C Trenching Ltd. Family has been drilled into the DNA of our company. Tyler began his journey in the business when he was just a kid, learning the machinery, techniques, and soaking up the knowledge that his father had gained. To say equipment operating is in his blood would not be an understatement. His favourite job site is definitely one where Directional Drilling is involved! This is his passion; he has a keen sense of what is going on under the ground even though we cannot see it. Our family is carrying on the tradition, as the 3rd generation Cook, our son Beritt, is already learning the business while still in high school.

As it was when our company was launched, we take pride in being the Northwest’s go-to underground utility contractor. Over the years our business has evolved from Backhoes and Trenchers to include Horizontal Directional Drilling, HydroVac and Mini Excavation. One thing that has not changed over the years is the importance of keeping our small team rooted here in the Battlefords. Our business has the versatility and the team to get your underground construction projects completed.

B&C Trenching has been fortunate to work side by side with local businesses, collaborating with farmers, local contractors and larger provincial corporations including SaskPower, SaskTel, SaskEnergy and the Department of Highways. Our team has specific knowledge and experience to provide farmers and contractors with the steady hand our customers need to complete any new upgrades on their farm, property or business.

Innovations in technology and equipment make it easier for you to install or upgrade underground utilities. Maybe you are looking to add lighting in other areas in farm yard, get water for your livestock to additional locations, maybe it’s water to your cabin or upgrading those existing septic systems. We can’t express enough “the joy of living and working here in the Battlefords and area is that we have great small businesses and contractors who partner up and have the supplies to do what you need done!” Making a plan that works for all is important, having the equipment on hand to go under or through it allows B&C Trenching to get your projects done right!
