Directional drilling + trenchless construction · Since 2002
Six underground construction services for road, rail, river and utility crossings across Western Canada.
Services
01Different jobs need different equipment. The route, required grade, pipe size, ground and site access all matter. Syncore helps choose a practical way to get the line installed.
Install water, sewer, gas, power and telecom lines beneath roads, yards and waterways with much less surface disturbance.
Thousands of bores completedControlled hydro-excavation for daylighting, buried utility exposure, cold-weather digging and drill support.
Field support where precision mattersPneumatic installation for cobble and challenging substrates where a conventional directional bore is not the right fit.
Up to 42" in suitable conditionsGuided boring for culverts, rural water lines and steel-cased crossings. Published work includes a 140 m, 36-inch crossing beneath two CP rail tracks.
12" to 84" published capabilityButt fusion and electrofusion for water management, utility and industrial piping projects.
Butt fusion + electrofusionFusion and mechanical splicing for new installations, repairs and network upgrades.

Built over time
04Clint and Amber Capton started Syncore in 2002 with five employees and a focused equipment fleet. The company grew by taking on tougher crossings, adding the right iron and keeping experienced people in the field.
“Always dependable, always fair. Great company to work with.”

Five employees, two pit machines, an auger, a directional drill and a backhoe.
The Hamlet of Schuler regional water supply became the company’s largest HDPE project at the time.
Syncore used its air hammer capability to drill solid rock beneath three creeks and a river near Beaver Mines.
Three pipeline crossings were completed with 8-inch and 10-inch HDPE.

Project planning
Straight answers about the route, site access, service area and quote details before equipment moves to the job.
It depends on the route, product diameter, required grade, ground conditions and available access. Send the location and any plans you have. Syncore can review the crossing and recommend whether drilling, augering, pipe ramming or another approach fits best.
Start with the project location, approximate bore length, pipe or conduit size and material, target depth or grade, site access and preferred schedule. Drawings, photos, utility information and known ground conditions help the estimator understand the work faster.
The team is based in Coalhurst and serves central and southern Alberta, southern British Columbia and Saskatchewan. Published service areas include Lethbridge, Calgary, Medicine Hat, Red Deer, Regina, Fernie and the communities between them.
Depending on the scope, yes. Syncore offers hydrovac, directional drilling, augering, pipe ramming, HDPE fusion and fiber optic splicing. Ask the estimator which parts of your underground package can be coordinated together.
Syncore's published work ranges from compact backyard access and residential water services to long HDPE pipelines, rail crossings, river crossings and large-diameter casing. The best first step is a quick project review.
There is no useful one-size-fits-all rate. Length, diameter, material, geology, access, disposal, traffic control, permits and restoration can all affect cost. A site-specific quote is more accurate than an old per-metre estimate.
Careers
If you show up, work safely and take pride in doing the job right, we want to hear from you. Class 1 drivers and field workers can send a résumé. Syncore offers competitive wages, benefits and clothing allowances after six months.
