Reliable Installation for Fully Connected Projects

Connecting developments to essential services, North Star Contracting delivers safe, coordinated shallow utility installations for infrastructure and construction projects across Calgary, Southern Alberta, and select projects across Western Canada. Our crews install telecommunications, electrical, and gas systems with precision, using both traditional installation methods and directional drilling where trenchless utility installation helps reduce disruption.

Working closely with municipalities, developers, contractors, and major utility and telecom providers, we keep projects moving efficiently and in line with specifications. Our shallow utility approvals include City of Calgary 4-party URD Developer Construct projects, Fortis CIDPG systems, and City of Calgary street lighting construction.
