Playing in the dirt, and thriving in the dirt. We do not chase easy work. We take on the tough, risky civil construction jobs, get our hands dirty, and build lasting partnerships. We do all that in our playground of Western Canada, with an amazing team.
We believe great companies are built by great people. At Option Excavating, we treat our employees, partners, clients, and communities with dignity, respect, and integrity. We value hard work, provide fair opportunities for growth, spare no expense to keep our team coming home to their families, and recognize the people who help build our success every day. We strive to create a culture where people are proud to work, contribute, and succeed together.
Civil construction is what we do and what we love. From underground utilities and earthworks to road building and community infrastructure, we take pride in building the foundations that communities depend on. Whether we are developing new neighbourhoods or rehabilitating existing infrastructure, we bring passion, quality, and experience to every project we undertake.
Trust is earned through actions, not words. We build trust by being transparent, delivering quality workmanship, working safe, standing behind our commitments, and building lasting relationships with our employees, clients, consultants, and partners. Our goal is to be a company people can rely on, in the office, in the field, and on every project we deliver.
We are built to take on the tough projects. Option Excavating embraces the challenging civil construction work that others may shy away from: technically complex projects, high-risk environments, large-scale infrastructure, and design-build solutions. From estimating and planning through execution in the field, we bring confidence, adaptability, and problem-solving to every challenge. We do not avoid difficult projects, we pursue them, we execute them and we close them.
Option Excavating Inc. (Option) is a full-service underground infrastructure installation company, located in Spruce Grove, Alberta serving all of Western Canada. We specialize in installing water, sanitary sewer and storm sewer main lines and services, and strive to provide our clients with safe, accurate and efficient installations.
Option’s beginnings successfully encompassed decades of underground work performed within the City of Edmonton and surrounding areas. In 2018 the company shifted direction to an under-served niche market within the petroleum and construction industry, effectively closing the underground division and moving all manpower and resources to the new endeavour. The decision to pivot into a new market has been a rewarding and successful one.

We take pride in constructing communities, often where we live and work. Our experienced construction team, backed with the right equipment, allows us to execute a wide variety and scale of project. Any size, type and depth of pipe can be addressed, from deep trunk lines to large diameter concrete storm and box culverts.
As material lifecycles end, the need to replace existing infrastructure has become a substantial component of the municipal construction industry. This work often includes water, sanitary and stormwater mains, fire hydrants, manholes, catch basins and services (including temporary potable water and sanitary bypasses).
Option’s team has worked on numerous trenchless projects. As a General Contractor, our experience in horizontal directional drilling, case bores, pipe-jacking, micro-tunneling and direct pipe installation allows us to monitor and collaborate with our subcontractors to ensure the most effective use of time during these activities.
Our team is well versed in regularly scheduled and emergency repair work of deep infrastructure. Repairs addressed have encompassed water main breaks, valve replacements, and sewer repairs to lesser and greater degrees.
Preventative maintenance is critical in maintaining the integrity of deep utility infrastructure and ensuring lifecycle expectations are achieved. Our team is eager to collaborate with clients to design and implement preventative programs to address their systems and ensure they remain in peak operating condition.
