Offering a plethora of services within the Canadian maintenance and construction fields, South East Construction is part of a competitive world but has neatly set itself apart by focusing on “safety-driven” operating standards.

South East Construction (SECON) is a construction and maintenance company with a difference in that it not only prides itself on the quality of workmanship being provided, but also the exemplar safety standards that always underpin every project. So many enterprises seem to pay lip service to safety concerns but SECON has made it a central ethos,

“SHIFT - Safe, Healthy, Incident Free Teamwork! With combined efforts towards values, attitudes, goals and relationships we have developed a safety culture that stands out with much success. Responsibility for encouraging our safety culture starts with our management team, flowing out to each of our valued employees. Everyone has a part in making safety a priority. We care about the wellbeing of our employees and want to set them up for success. At South East Construction, we are “Safety Driven”.”

Endeavour Magazine | 29 Setting the standard

A multi-trade company headquartered in Esterhazy, SECON has completed a number of high-profile projects within the potash mining and milling industry, both above and underground. Covering new construction

initiatives and ongoing maintenance contracts, SECON has become something of a go-to name in the potash arena, but that’s no reason to become typecast into one sector,

“We have also worked on many construction projects in the power generating, coal mining and crushing, fertiliser production, and oilseed crushing industries.”

This diversity of interest areas is impressive enough, but when you consider the vast range of services on offer, to each and every different market sector, it becomes clear that SECON is not simply existing in a competitive world but thriving. Taking on everything from structural steel work through to pipe fitting, electrical contracts, earth works, demolition services and underground mining operations, to name just a few, a crack team has been assembled to uphold the reputation that has been so voraciously worked for,

“South East Construction is CWB certified, Boiler Branch Certified, ISNet registered, SCSA

Certified and is a member of the Saskatchewan Construction Labour Relations Association. Within our organization we have some highly qualified people, including a construction manager, health and safety manager and safety administrators, as well as numerous longtime employees in foreman and tradesman positions.”

Big ambitions with a local touch

With employees becoming synonymous with family, there’s a tangible sense that a local connection is intrinsic to the success of SECON. By nurturing and looking after every team member, staff turnover is enviably low and offers clients, old and new, reassurance that consistency and conscientiousness will always be maintained. This is an exceptionally important aspect, given the variation in services on offer and industries being catered for. With big name operations needing the best support providers, SECON has amassed an incredibly impressive client roster,

“South East Construction has worked on numerous construction and maintenance projects directly for owners like SaskPower, PCS, Mosaic, Saskferco, Prairie Mines and Royalties, Bunge, Roblin Forest Products and others. We have also worked extensively for EPCM firms such as AMEC, Hatch and SNC Lavalin and as a subcontractor on major construction sites for WSIndustrial, Disaster Management, Comstock, Graham, Magna, Westwood, Promec, Pyramid, PCL and numerous others.”

While the stringent safety concerns and family feel of SECON are certainly both significant selling points, it’s the specialist services on offer that really keep the highprofile clients rolling in and the portfolio is being consistently diversified and improved upon.

Specialising in Saskatchewan

“South East Construction is relatively unique in its ability to provide fabrication support to all of its projects with a fully integrated steel fabrication and painting facility. The modern facility is equipped with an industry leading

PythonX robotic CNC plasma cutting machine, as well as a full-service paint shop.”

Adding these elements to the already full-tobursting roster of services has allowed SECON to rise above and beyond local competitors, with a one-stop solutions package being available for seemingly every need. There are doubtless plenty of operations that are able to offer installation and construction services, but how many can say that they are able to fabricate the elements being installed, let alone finish them with appropriate paint, epoxy or enamel coatings? It wouldn’t be a stretch of the imagination to assume that only SECON can.

People come first

Any company working within a highrisk industry will need to be aware of risk management strategies, but given how committed to safety that SECON is, it goes a step beyond in order to protect its people,

YOUR BUSINESS RUNS 24/7. SO DOES TR PETROLEUM. TR Petroleum is one of Saskatchewan’s top bulk fuel and diesel companies, delivering bulk fuel for commercial and industrial use or resale.

“We are a company that is totally committed to safety and providing a safe working environment for all of our people and anyone working on or near any of our projects. We have developed a comprehensive safety programme that includes; extensive training, hazard elimination, risk assessment and management plans, continuous input from employees and staff and ongoing upgrades to our programmes to keep us at the forefront of the safety in our industry.”

With a keen eye for new talent, SECON is always on the lookout to add to the team of professionals already in place and in return, successful candidates can expect an enviable remuneration package, great benefits and a nurturing atmosphere that can only be garnered from a genuinely local connection. It’s important to note that projects outside of Saskatchewan are also happily embraced and look set to be a significant part of the future growth plans of SECON, “South East Construction provides construction and maintenance services from structural steel to general contracting. We are a growing company and wish to be part of your plans for construction in Saskatchewan and beyond.”

With an almost fully integrated system in place, a bursting portfolio of vital services on offer and a team of professionals in place that can put any and all rivals to shame, SECON is perfectly positioned to keep building. That goes for its fantastic reputation, as well as client projects.
