Experts in Civil Construction & Project Management
From large highway expansions and bridge building to massive tailings dams and complex underground utilities
Dawson Civil, originally founded as Eagle Rock Construction in 1976, is part of the Dawson Group—a family of companies with over 100 years of experience in project management, civil construction, excavation, and infrastructure development.
Long before Dawson Civil was established as a separate entity under the Dawson Group umbrella, we played a pivotal role in the development of countless key infrastructure projects across British Columbia. The company was involved in historic projects such as the construction of the Sea-to-Sky, Coquihalla, and Yellowhead highways, as well as the iconic Granville and Burrard Street bridges in Vancouver.
Today, Dawson Civil proudly continues this legacy. Based in Kamloops, we manage projects ranging from municipal infrastructure and road construction to complex mining operations and underground utility installations.
With a strong commitment to safety and excellence, we ensure that every project—whether public or private—meets client expectations every time.
British Columbia Highway 5 Passing Lanes at Darfield
For Dawson Civil, construction of new passing lanes on B.C. Highway 5 between Barriere and Little Fort, near Darfield, was a project tailor-made for our company.
A new three-kilometre southbound passing lane was added and the existing northbound passing lane was extended by 2.7 kilometres. Improvements to the intersection at the junction of Highway 5 and Boulder Mountain Road were also be completed as part of this project. The additions improved safety along this stretch of the Yellowhead Highway north of Kamloops.
Our company was awarded the $8.8-million contract for the project, which was completed in the fall 2018.
