Land Remediation/Fill Site Management/Project Management
Safety
Social
A key strength of our unique approach is to work with landowners, whether agricultural or commercial, to implement and complete land remediation projects of varying scopes and complexity. This goes hand in hand with our transfer stations as it ensures fill deposited at remediation projects is clean and free of contaminates. Our field staff is experienced with material placement in a wide variety of challenging situations for varying purposes such as construction preparation, land reclamation or habitat enhancement.
In larger scale remediation projects, we can classify, sort and screen imported or native materials right on site. This approach allows us to minimize costs, passing savings on to landowners and most importantly, utilizing this approach results in a high quality and professionally completed project. For more information on these projects, and what we can do for your next project, please contact our offices.
BC Earth Exchange is a BCCSA COR Certified organization with a dedicated on staff safety officer and a record of no injury or incidents in the past 2 years. BC Earth Exchange also utilizes Site Docs safety software always ensuring an actively managed safety program.

Aggressive Welding and Fabricating has grown a lot over the 30+ years in business but is still a small company at heart. It has built a reputation as an honest, safe, and reliable company where employees, managers, and owners work alongside each other to get a job done and maintain the integrity of the work they do. With the experiences gained in handling major projects, our clients are continuously being invited to bid on sizable projects.
The Aggressive mission is to provide the highest quality workmanship possible. We succeed at this because of the integrity of our employees and staff, our commitment to a solid work ethic, and our passion for staying current with the newest innovations in our industry, with the consideration for the environment.
We’ve worked with our customers for years because our relationships are built on trust and performance. Our employees have been chosen based on their ability and level of craftsmanship, as well as their personal qualities and values. We believe that having our own employees provides us with more immediate control over the direction and nature of the construction process.
Our pride and personal involvement in the work we perform results in superior quality and services. The attitude is also directly reflected in our employee’s level of responsibility, professionalism, and competency.
Combined with experienced Project Managers, Engineers, and support staff, Aggressive Industrial Services offers well-balanced teams that will plan, manage, and execute projects of all sizes in accordance with a customer’s specifications.
