Moving our own equipment means more control over your project’s schedule.

At STX, we handle our own hauling, so we can coordinate equipment moves directly with the work ahead. Less reliance on outside carriers. More flexibility when plans change. The right iron where it needs to be.

For our customers, that means fewer delays waiting on equipment, and more time getting the job done...

The finished surface gets the attention, but a solid RCC job starts at the mixer.

Getting the blend and moisture right is what makes the material work when it’s time to place and compact it. Mixing with purpose for Driland Feeders, because the work behind the scenes matters just as much as the finished product.

Spent ten hours moving dirt. Got home. Watched a video of someone else moving dirt.

Turned the phone sideways, watched it again, and explained to someone who didn’t ask how we would’ve done it. 😂

From a field of grass to a commercial subdivision. 
Earthmoving, a retention pond, building foundations, and civil underground work up next. 
Our crews are showing what STX is built to do. 💪

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.
