ABOUT US

OUR
STORY

We are Western Canada’s leader in E&I maintenance, renewables/solar, major projects, combustion & emissions reductions, and measurement.

In 2021, we acquired Exile Automation to grow our core services in automation, manufacturing, and telecommunications as a dominant division of CDN and to position ourselves as your full-service provider. It’s all part of the CDN Advantage.
