What Park Derochie does
Park Derochie is a privately held Canadian industrial contractor founded in 1956 and headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta. The company delivers four integrated service lines — industrial coatings (including tank coating, bridge coating, thermal sprayed aluminum/metalizing, lead abatement, and abrasive blasting), fireproofing (intumescent, cementitious, and module), insulation (mechanical, spray foam roofing, asbestos abatement), and scaffolding (HAKI Universal modular systems) — to enterprise and government clients in oil & gas, petro-chemical, hydro-electric, LNG, infrastructure, EV manufacturing, and wastewater sectors across Canada.
The company operates from 11+ offices and yards across Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario, with 120,000+ sqft of dedicated shop space equipped with blast booths, engineered downdraft coatings booths, pneumatic lifting platforms, and wireless carrier systems. Park Derochie holds AMPP QP1, QP2, QP3, and QP6 certifications — the first Canadian company to hold all four and one of few organizations globally with QP6 for thermal spray application. Differentiated technology includes an in-house material tracking database for piece-mark coordination across shop and field operations, the eCompliance platform for 24/7 real-time HSE monitoring, and the I-CARE reporting system for at-risk behaviour and near-miss capture. The company is recognized as the largest industrial coatings and fireproofing contractor in Canada and the 4th largest in North America, with the largest field equipment inventory in North America.
Park Derochie's revenue model is project-based professional services contracting, with services quoted per project and individual contracts reaching in excess of $24 million (tank coatings). Distribution is exclusively direct enterprise field sales — the company is prequalified with over 100 clients and owners via CQ Network, ISN/CanQual, Avetta, and Veriforce, and pursues work through direct relationships with major project owners and general contractors. Revenue is concentrated in cyclical industrial end markets (oil & gas, LNG mega-projects, infrastructure) and tied to multi-year mega-project execution. The company is owned by Executive Chairman Jeff Granberg and Mark Walker, who purchased the business from co-founder Merle Derochie in 2009; Brian Tiessen serves as President & CEO. The company has received Canada's Best Managed Companies Platinum status, EY Entrepreneur of the Year (2017), and B.C. Transportation Contractor of the Year (2023).
