About us

We believe in leaving every job, site and experience better than how we found it. Our people make it happen.

Always moving forward

Formerly “Ontario Excavac”, we've changed our name to OE Utility Services. Our new name is more reflective of the broad range of end-to-end services we provide for utility companies. From digging to disposal, we've got you covered. Still the same great team of experts and the same quality services you've come to rely on - all at the lowest overall cost. Read more →
