“Our priority is to do the job right with-in
a safe working culture, which ensures
our employees remain injury free on the job
and return home safely,” she said.
A commitment to safety is a big reason
that KPCL has emerged as one of the most
trusted companies in the industry.
Moving forward, Panteluk says that KPCL
hopes to continue evolving by expanding
its design-build capabilities. Design-build
is a method to deliver a project in which
the design and construction services are
contracted by a single entity known as the
design-builder or design-build contractor.
These types of projects are becoming more
popular in Saskatchewan.
“As a company, we’ve recognized that
we have to leverage technological develop-ments
in our industry as well as adapt our
services to what the market demands,” said
Panteluk. “We are doing this by continuing
to upgrade our equipment with the latest
GPS equipment. This allows us to be more
efficient and effective in moving materials
as well as completing our projects to very
high finishing tolerances.
