Saskatoon-based contractor completes landmark industrial and commercial demolition projects in 2024–2025, including a 165-foot mine headframe for BHP, the Credit Foncier Building in Regina, and multiple bridge superstructures

SASKATOON, SK — Aug 2026

Silverado Demolition Operations Inc., one of Western Canada's longest-operating commercial and industrial demolition companies, has marked another milestone year with the completion of several significant project scopes across Saskatchewan. Among them: the successful demolition of a 165-foot mine headframe structure at the BHP Jansen Potash Mine, the full teardown of the Credit Foncier Building in downtown Regina, and the removal of multiple overpasses and bridge superstructures across Saskatchewan and Alberta. These completions reflect both the scale and breadth of work that Silverado has built its reputation on since the company was founded in 1978.
A Portfolio Built on Demanding Scopes

Not every demolition project makes the news, but some are difficult enough that completing them well demonstrates something meaningful about a contractor's capability. The BHP Jansen Potash Mine headframe project — a 165-foot industrial structure requiring precision sequencing, specialized high-reach equipment, and strict mine-site safety compliance — is one of those scopes. Silverado was contracted to manage the full demolition of the headframe, coordinating with BHP's site team to execute the project safely and on schedule.

The Credit Foncier Building in downtown Regina brought different challenges: an urban commercial site with adjacent properties, public road proximity, and the debris management complexity that comes with a large concrete structure. Silverado mobilized equipment and crews to complete the teardown and site clearance, delivering a job-ready site to the property owner. Silverado worked closely with the city and the property owners to obtain the proper permits and heritage removals prior to starting demolition. This process is crucial to successful completion and often takes more time and patience than the work on site, as engineering and planning are at the forefront of all our projects. Around the same time, the company completed the demolition of multiple bridges and overpasses across Saskatchewan and Alberta.

These projects followed earlier large-scale work, including multi-phase industrial demolition for Nutrien in Rocanville, SK, and the Casino Regina parkade — a time-constrained public infrastructure scope completed within a tight schedule for the opening of the new parking and casino entrance in the same season.
Equipment and Capability That Match the Scope

Silverado Demolition's ability to take on industrial and large commercial contracts comes down, in part, to what the company can put on a job site. The company operates a fleet that includes excavators ranging from 30 to 100 tonnes and three high-reach machines equipped with interchangeable booms and tools, including pulverizers, breakers, and shears — the kind of specialized equipment that allows crews to work on structures that standard demolition equipment can't reach safely.

That equipment capability is paired with a full-service scope that includes asbestos and hazardous material abatement, concrete crushing and recycling, debris hauling and aggregate services, excavation, and LEED-compliant project delivery. For clients who need a demolition contractor to manage the entire project lifecycle — from initial site assessment through to a prepared, clean site — Silverado's integrated approach reduces the coordination burden that comes with splitting demolition, abatement, and cleanup across multiple firms.
Serving Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Manitoba

While Saskatoon has always been home base, Silverado Demolition has expanded its operational reach across Western Canada. The company maintains dedicated contacts for Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Manitoba, reflecting a client base that spans Saskatchewan municipalities, Alberta industrial operators, and Winnipeg commercial developers.

In 2026, that geographic reach continues to expand. The company is actively engaged in commercial and industrial demolition contracts across the region, with service capacity in Saskatoon, Regina, Calgary, Winnipeg, and surrounding communities.

"Every project we take on starts with a site assessment and a plan — not equipment mobilization. That's been true since 1978, and it's still how we operate. The projects we completed in 2024 and 2025 were technically demanding, and we're proud of how the crews executed them. But the planning that happens before a single machine arrives is what makes the difference on a job like the BHP headframe or the Credit Foncier Building in a busy downtown environment."
