• Junttan (piling rigs) – Western Equipment Solution’s territory
for Junttan is the Western U.S. only. However, the
company does offer rental rigs, hammers and power packs.
“Our client base depends on the product line,” said Wilson.
“With Soilmec, we have an exclusive territory in the Rocky
Mountains and Western Canada. TEI Rock Drills has agreed
for us to represent them over all of the Western United States
and Western Canada. And, for the Junttan line, we are an
agent for the Western U.S. We have branded tools as Western
Drill Tools and are able to sell in all regions of North America.”
Canadian presence
Western Equipment Solution’s presence in Canada is vast,
with clients ranging from Vancouver to Fort McMurray to
Saskatoon.
“We have a presence in every major city in Western
Canada, and most of the small towns, too,” said Wilson.
“Whether it is foundations for the new Rogers Place, a new
power line, condos or even a Home Depot, you can find our
equipment working to help build the foundation.”
The company has been integral in bringing new technologies
into Western Canada. One prime example is continuous
flight augers (CFA).
“For about 20 years now, our team has supported the
development of CFA, giving ‘lunch and learn’ seminars and
bringing in operational experts to work with our clients to
‘fine-tune’ their operators’ skills,” said Wilson. “We believe
training and education are the keys of development for our
customers’ staff.”
Once CFA benefits were realized, the technology grew
in popularity until today, where more than 50 per cent of
foundation construction is done with CFA. Maintenance
and drilling seminars and training sessions are continuously
being planned either locally or at the factories in Italy,
Colorado and Germany.
“The Soilmec Flight (SF) line has dedicated CFA units with
the potential to revolutionize the technique,” said Wilson.
“We have also been on the forefront of oscillators and segmental
casing work with the Leffer line, as well as limited
access work with our TEI machines.”
When asked which Canadian projects the company
has provided equipment for, the list is seemingly endless
and includes many “big box” stores and industrial
plants like Voyager, Suncor, Syncrude, Kerl Lake, as well
as numerous power line projects, including the latest
