At VERA Industrial Rockworks, we specialize in delivering geotechnical construction solutions where others can’t. From bridges, docks, and marine infrastructure to remote mountain slopes and vital transportation corridors, our team thrives in environments that demand precision, safety and innovation.
For over 15 years, we’ve built a reputation for taking on projects that push the limits of engineering stabilizing rock faces, reinforcing foundations and providing blasting and drilling expertise in the most challenging and hard-to-reach locations.
Whether it’s rock blasting, slope stabilization, soil nailing, or shotcrete, we provide the expertise and equipment to ensure long-lasting, safe and cost-effective results. Our rope access background allows us to mobilize quickly, minimize site impact and safely execute projects that would otherwise require extensive scaffolding or heavy infrastructure.
When the work is high-risk, remote, or nearly impossible, VERA is the partner that delivers.
Controlled blasting services using both high explosives and non-explosive methods. Our team designs each blast for maximum precision while monitoring vibration levels to ensure safety and protect surrounding infrastructure.
From hand-held plugger drills to large-scale DTH and Air Trac rigs, we deliver precise drilling solutions for soil nails, anchors and slope stabilization. Our team adapts methods to site conditions, ensuring efficiency, safety and accuracy every time.
When blasting isn’t suitable, we use hydraulic, pneumatic and expanding grout methods to safely fracture rock. These controlled techniques are ideal for sensitive sites, restricted environments or locations where safety is critical.
We install drape mesh systems (Tecco, Spider, Rocco, Deltax) and high-energy rockfall barriers to control debris movement and ensure long-term slope stability in high-risk environments.
Applying both wet and dry process shotcrete, we deliver reinforced concrete solutions that protect slopes, stabilize rock faces and extend the life of vital infrastructure.
Specializing in IBO, hollow bar, and Dywidag threadbar systems, we reinforce slopes, excavations and foundations with soil nails that provide durable engineered stability.
VERA Industrial provides on-site hydraulic pull testing to verify the strength and reliability of soil nails, anchors and reinforcement systems. Our certified technicians use precision equipment to measure loads and confirm compliance with engineering requirements.
Testing up to 500kN for #14 Dywidag and smaller
High-capacity testing up to 2200kN available for larger installations
Fully documented results for engineering assurance
Ensures long-term stability and safety of critical infrastructure
At VERA, testing isn’t just a checkbox it’s proof that every installation meets design expectations and industry standards.
Safety isn’t just a priority it’s the foundation of everything we do. Our work involves some of the most challenging and high-risk environments in construction and geotechnical engineering and we are proud to maintain a record of zero lost-time injuries throughout our history.
We reinforce this commitment with:
Rigorous equipment inspections before and during every use.
CSA-approved safety gear, sourced only from certified vendors.
Full compliance with WorkSafeBC regulations, IRATA and SPRAT international rope access standards and CSA best practices.
Ongoing training and certification, ensuring every technician meets or exceeds industry requirements.
At VERA Industrial Rockworks, we thrive where others hesitate. Combining rope access expertise, geotechnical engineering and uncompromising safety, we take on Canada’s most complex and high-risk environments from remote mountain slopes to large-scale infrastructure. With decades of experience, advanced rope access techniques, strict compliance with IRATA, SPRAT, CSA, WorkSafeBC standards and a proven record on bridges, highways, railways and marine works, we deliver results where failure is not an option.
