FULLY INTEGRATED. OUR EXPERTISE IN MANY AREAS ALLOWS US TO SEE EVERY JOB FROM MANY ANGLES. As Ledcor has grown over the decades, we’ve made diversifi cation a key part of how we set ourselves apart. Diverse industries. Diverse off erings. Diverse projects and locations. Diverse expertise.

It’s important that new methods for collaboration are created and practiced as diversifi cation grows so that in-house experts can share the benefi ts of their expertise with the company as a whole.

Our goal has always been to diversify, to expand and deepen our expertise, yet always remain fully integrated. We call this strategy One Ledcor.

It benefi ts our clients on every project, and makes our relationships simpler, clearer, and more direct.

In this issue of The Globe, we look at one signifi cant project where One Ledcor is making all of the diff erence. But the fact is that you can see it at work in everything we do— big projects and small projects alike.
