Our Mission and Purpose
RI-VAL was formed to combine over 80 years of expertise in civil construction while creating economic opportunities for Indigenous communities.
We are a full-service civil construction joint venture with the expertise and capacity to take on complex projects across the Maritimes. The partnership between Red Island Contractors Inc. and Valcon Ltd. brings together specialized skills in site preparation, heavy civil construction, project management, and infrastructure development.
Beyond delivering high-quality construction, RI-VAL is committed to Indigenous employment, training, and subcontracting, ensuring that each project provides lasting benefits to the communities it serves. With a strong focus on safety, efficiency, and long-term sustainability, RI-VAL delivers reliable infrastructure solutions that meet the highest industry standards.
