Across Southern Alberta, our crews are taking on a wide range of construction projects...including multiple feedlot expansions happening simultaneously, like this one.

It takes the right people, equipment and planning to keep this many moving parts on schedule. That’s what STX is built for.

Compaction doesn’t start with the packer, it starts with moisture.

Too dry and the soil won’t bind properly. Too wet and it becomes unstable. Optimal moisture allows the particles to lock together and reach the density the project was designed for.

That’s why we keep adding, mixing and testing until the material is right. Close enough below the surface can become a major problem above it.

We don’t stop when it looks ready. We stop when the numbers say it is.

The water lines are in, the ground is back to grade, and this feedlot expansion is one step closer to operation.

Most of the work will never be seen, but it will keep this facility running for years to come.

Moving dirt is only part of the job. The real skill is putting the right amount of material in the right place, at the right elevation, with every pass.

Right operator. Right iron. Right grade.

Before anything gets built above ground, the work below it has to be right.

Dig it. Shape it. Compact it. Build it to last.

That’s the STX standard.

NOTHING LIKE LAYING DOWN SOME PERFECTLY MIXED RCC.

The right blend, the right moisture, and the right consistency, because a durable finished surface starts long before the rollers make their first pass.

When every part of the process is dialed in, the results speak for themselves.

The right bucket means fewer passes, less fuel, less wear, and more material moved every hour. Bigger isn’t always better and smaller isn’t always more precise.

Efficiency comes from matching the equipment to the work.

THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT CHANGES EVERYTHING.

Efficiency starts long before the work begins. It means choosing the right machine for the job, planning every move, and eliminating wasted time wherever possible.

At STX, we invest in the equipment and people it takes to move more material, maintain quality, and keep every project moving forward.
