Roxboro Excavation Inc

What Roxboro Excavation Inc does

Roxboro Excavation Inc is a Quebec-based civil engineering and heavy construction contractor founded in 1972, now operating as part of Groupe Roxboro BauVal Inc. following a 2020 merger with BauVal. The combined entity employs over 2,000 people and generates approximately $650M CAD in annual revenue. The company delivers integrated infrastructure services across three categories — major works and engineering structures (bridges, interchanges, highways), public infrastructure (roads, sewers, water systems), and industrial/commercial developments — through seven in-house core services: earthworks and excavation, sewer and water systems, concrete paving, asphalt paving, curbs and sidewalks, final grading, and formwork. Supporting capabilities include snow removal services (e.g., for Aéroport de Montréal) and deep foundation works via subsidiaries PRECO Fondations and Groupe MSE (acquired 2017).

The company operates from five Quebec offices (Dorval HQ, Blainville, Trois-Rivières, L'Épiphanie, Lachine) with project delivery spanning Quebec and Ontario. Its core technology platform includes owned-and-operated asphalt batching plants (Vaudreuil-Dorion plant with 300Tm/h capacity plus a mobile plant), heavy equipment fleets, and drone-based surveying and progress monitoring. Roxboro maintains ISO 9001 certification continuously for 25 years (since 2001) and ISO 14001 environmental certification — both prerequisites for Quebec Ministry of Transport (MTMD) contract eligibility.

The business model is sales-led and project-based: revenue is generated through competitive public tenders (MTMD, Ville de Montréal, Société de développement de la Baie-James, Exo transit) and direct private contracting with commercial developers (Carbonleo, Broccolini, Canac) and industrial clients. Named contracts include the $156M Sainte-Catherine Street reconstruction, $114M A19 extension, $70M A15 widening, $65M Billy-Diamond road in James Bay, and the Royalmount multifunctional development. Pricing is project-specific via competitive bids; snow removal contracts are RFP-based with seasonal (Nov 1 – Apr 15) service delivery. In 2025, Roxboro divested its Signalitik road signage division to ADS Signalisation to refocus on core infrastructure, civil engineering, deep foundations, and environmental services.
