The cost of demolition is typically much less than that of retrofitting and renovating an old building.” Parker says his company has been responsible over the years for about 75 per cent of building demolition in the Red Deer area, and almost all the larger-scale demolition. “These are mostly older structures that are demolished to make way for new development.

“We demolish anywhere from six to 15 residential and commercial buildings per year using excavators and other pieces of equipment,” says Parker.

In addition to supplying pit-run fill, crushed gravel and sand for residential, commercial and industrial projects, the company also provides trucking, excavation, grading and structural demolition services. Like many other aggregate companies, Bettenson’s offers a variety of diversified services. “We are a mid-sized company for this area,” says Parker.īettenson’s new Eagle crusher crushes concrete, asphalt and the company’s own gravel. Their core staff numbers are about 20 in the colder months, but swell to about double that during construction season. Today, the company’s day-to-day operations also involve fourth generation family members Jeff Conklin (office manager), and Doug’s sons Joe and Parker Bettenson (company director).īettenson’s currently owns 18 heavy truck/trailer combinations (the trucks are International and Freightliner), 20 pieces of heavy equipment (most are John Deere and Caterpillar) and about 30 pieces of support equipment. Jack bought out Frank in 1942 and he and his son Carl turned the company towards aggregate and demolition operations, officially making it Bettenson’s Sand & Gravel in 1965. The company took root in 1928 with horse-drawn cartage services and concrete production by the batch offered by Jack Bettenson (grandfather of current president Doug Bettenson) and his partner Frank Stewart. The company appreciates the way Eagle worked with them to design a plant that didn’t need to be taken apart in order to comply with strict weight regulations.

In early March, Bettenson’s traded in its Eagle 1000-CC crusher for a new and larger Eagle 1400-45 OC. “We have a long-standing reputation with the community of Red Deer, and in the region, as a consistently reliable and hardworking company,” says project manager Joe Bettenson. “We always provide exceptional service with the utmost integrity.” Focusing on these values and maintaining a high level of respect for all business relationships are what keeps Bettenson’s Sand and Gravel going strong as it approaches its 50th anniversary year in 2015.
