Nose Hill Park Shouldice Park

ALSA Road Construction subcontracted Devcon to complete its earthworks scope on three public parking lot upgrades within the City of Calgary. Each work site required a customized approach for handling its unique conditions.
Our scope of work included: Saw-cutting, removing, and disposing existing asphalt surfaces. Preparing subgrade in accordance with the City of Calgary’s specifications for new asphalt pavement.Sub-cutting and backfilling unsuitable materials in localized areas ensuring proper compaction and stability.
At Shouldice Park, Devcon performed additional grading activities, including: Stripping, grading, and gravelling approximately 140 metres along the shoulder for new parking stalls. Designed, sourced materials, and built a 140-metre-long sandstone retaining wall. This feature represented the most intricate and technically challenging portion of the project, requiring precision excavation, layout, and structural integration.

Through close coordination with ALSA Road Construction and adherence to City of Calgary standards, Devcon successfully delivered high-quality earthworks and site improvements across all project locations.
