What Ledcor does

Ledcor is a privately held, family-controlled diversified construction company headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, with a presence dating to 1947. The company operates through eight service divisions spanning building, communications, electricity, energy, infrastructure, mining, properties, and transportation, serving enterprise clients across Canada and the United States. Its customer base includes major mining firms (BHP, De Beers, Scorpio Gold, Borealis Mining), energy companies (Chevron, TransCanada, Coastal GasLink), telecommunications providers, and federal and provincial government agencies. Core offerings include industrial construction, contract mining, pipeline construction and maintenance across 2,000 North American locations, telecommunications fiber and wireless network deployment, and infrastructure development.

The company generates revenue primarily through project-based contracts and competitive bid processes, supplemented by recurring multi-year service agreements in pipeline maintenance and other industrial sectors. Its go-to-market relies on direct enterprise sales, RFPs, and long-term relationship management, with flagship client relationships exceeding two decades (TransCanada since 1996, Chevron since 2004). Operations are executed through wholly-owned subsidiaries including Ledcor CMI Inc. (mining), Ledcor Development LP (property), and Ledcor Technical Service (communications), alongside joint ventures with Indigenous partners (Ledcor-Haisla Limited Partnership, Duz Cho Construction) and international firms (L&S Limited Partnership with SICIM). The organization employs 5,001-10,000 people, maintains offices across major Canadian cities and key U.S. hubs, and is led by Chairman & CEO Dave Lede.
