What Boltrail does

BoltRail Ltd. is a privately-held Canadian company that designs, manufactures, and sells a reusable anchor bolt setting template system for concrete construction projects. Founded in 2020 by structural engineer Arda Ozum, P.Eng, after eight years of design refinements, prototyping, and field trials, the company is headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta with manufacturing and shipping operations based in Nisku, Alberta. The core product holds anchor bolts in precise alignment during concrete placement, eliminating the need for site-built plywood templates and reducing costly rework from misaligned bolts.

The BoltRail system is built around an LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) engineered lumber rail available in four standard lengths (26", 33", 45", 55") and custom lengths up to 72". Each kit includes two swivel bases and two sliding bolt holders with sleeves accommodating 3/4", 1", and 1-1/4" diameter bolts. The design incorporates alignment guides, surveyor's sighting windows, rotating supports, and an adjustable sliding support pier, enabling precise installation across varied formwork geometries. The company holds U.S. Patent No. 9,404,277 and Canadian Patent No. 2,872,971 protecting the system. In 2023, the company launched the BoltRail Custom Shop, providing structural engineering design, drafting, fabrication, and on-site technical support for non-standard project requirements.

BoltRail operates a multi-channel go-to-market model combining direct e-commerce (boltrail.com), wholesale distribution through Nucor Rebar Fabrication and White Cap Supply across Canada, a secondary channel via Conuvo.ca, and the Custom Shop for engineered solutions. The company is also the exclusive Canadian distributor of Duplex Reusable Screws. Pricing is hardware-based at $82-$99.50 per unit with bundle (10 units) and pallet (150 units) discounts; FTL discounts apply at 26+ pallets. The company serves commercial construction contractors (primary), infrastructure projects, and residential builders across Canada, the United States, and internationally. Notable enterprise customers include PCL Construction, Bird Construction Edmonton, Steel Bull Construction, and Warrior Concrete, with reported outcomes of 99% alignment accuracy, 70% schedule gain, and 42% labor and materials savings versus traditional site-built methods.
