Project Vision and Results

Delivering critical infrastructure improvements.

To support essential municipal infrastructure renewal on Wallace Drive, we completed a full water main installation along with comprehensive surface restoration across the corridor. The project involved safe excavation, precise trenching and pipe alignment, and careful integration with existing utility systems to ensure long-term reliability. Following underground work, we removed and replaced sidewalks, curbs, and asphalt, delivering durable, accessible pedestrian and roadway surfaces through proper grading, compaction, and high-quality concrete finishing. Final landscaping restoration—including soil replacement, turf reinstatement, and detailed cleanup—returned the site to a clean public streetscape. 

Completed efficiently and with strict safety and traffic management throughout, the Wallace Drive upgrade reflects our ability to deliver complex, multi-scope municipal projects with lasting community value.


As the Contract Administrator on a recent watermain upgrade project I worked closely with Despard Contracting. Throughout they delivered a professional and high-quality work schedule, maintained excellent communication, completed work safely and demonstrated professionalism at a high standard. I would highly recommend them for future projects and would be pleased to work with them again.”
