Robert and Gordon McNabb founded McNabb Construction Ltd. in the early 1950’s, with a couple of trucks and a bulldozer. Over the next number of years the company worked jobs in the oilfield industry.
In 1971, Robert and Gordon purchased a one piece gravel crushing spread, with a vision to supply quality manufactured road and asphalt gravel to the oilfield industry. In 1979, Gordon sold his shares of the company to Robert’s son Brian.
Gordon continued to be an extremely valuable asset to the growing company, by operating one of the gravel crushers, up until his passing in 2004. The company expanded with the purchase of its first multi-piece crushing spread in the early 1980’s and added another in the late 1980’s. Over this time the company also purchased several pieces of heavy equipment, including; bulldozers, gravel trucks, track hoes, front end loaders and a scraper. This allowed McNabb Construction Ltd. to continuously provide quality products to a variety of clients, including commercial and residential customers.
After Robert’s passing in 2007, Brian obtained full shares of McNabb Construction and now operates the business with his wife, Tami, and their four sons. McNabb Construction has recently added a third crushing spread, a wash plant, two rock trucks, a loader backhoe, another scraper, a bobcat and a geotechnical drilling rig to meet the steady demand for quality aggregates and environmental services in western Canada.
The continuous growth of the company has included road building, reclamation and environmental work, as well as equipment and operator rentals.
