McLean Taylor Construction Limited

What McLean Taylor Construction Limited does

McLean Taylor Construction Limited is a privately held heavy civil and ICI (Industrial, Commercial, Institutional) construction contractor headquartered in St. Marys, Ontario, founded in 1960 and operating under parent company McLean Taylor Holdings Limited. The company executes bridges, culverts, roads, pumping stations, water and sewage treatment facilities, warehouses, and specialized infrastructure projects for municipal, provincial, and federal government clients across Southwestern Ontario, with a stated preference to concentrate projects within a two-hour drive of St. Marys to preserve management oversight. Its wholly owned subsidiary Stone Town Construction, acquired in 1963, specializes in water and sewage treatment facilities, pumping stations, and underground pipe work.

The company performs most project work with its own crews across earthworks, roadwork, piping, reinforcing steel placement, forming and concrete placement, structural steel, and carpentry, reducing reliance on subcontractors. It maintains a fleet of specialized equipment including cranes, excavators, pile drivers, the Allen Razorback Truss Screed for deck finishing up to 65 feet wide, Terex Hydraplatform HP35 and Skyjack underbridge access units, and hydraulic synchronized lifting systems for bridge jacking. Beyond construction, McLean Taylor operates a concrete barrier rental and sales business offering MTO-spec Jersey Barriers, energy attenuators, and traffic signals to construction sites, road works, and parking lots.

Revenue is generated primarily through competitive bidding on government contracts, with project-based pricing determined through an estimating process. The company is led by CEO Scott Taylor and President Ken McLean, supported by two Senior Vice Presidents, CFO Steven Fife, and a team of professional engineers and certified engineering technologists. It holds ISO 45001:2018 certification (October 2023) and won the 2018 Ontario Public Works Association Public Works Project of the Year Award for the Blackfriars Bridge rehabilitation in London, Ontario.
