Valard Construction

Canada’s energy grid depends on deliberate, coordinated work—and the Wasoqonatl Transmission Line project delivers exactly that. Spanning 160 km at 345 kV, this intertie will connect Onslow, Nova Scotia to Salisbury, New Brunswick—physically linking two provincial grids and enhancing regional resilience.

Valard is proud to be awarded this impactful project. Wasoqonatl, meaning “Keep the Lights On” in Mi’kmaq, reflects the purpose behind the work—carried out in engagement with 22 Indigenous communities and with care for the people it serves.

No matter the forecast, our crews bring the same commitment every day.

Canadian conditions can be tough, but Valard crews continue showing up — safe, reliable, and ready to deliver. With better weather around the corner, that won’t change.

Valard is proud to be electrifying three major powerline projects in British Columbia.

This project supports critical infrastructure required for the expansion of Northern B.C.’s pipeline system—helping meet growing demand for natural gas across British Columbia, the Pacific Northwest, Alberta, and global LNG markets.

No backup plan. No waiting. Valard’s remote project paramedics are right there — day one, every shift. That's not a perk. That's how we protect the people who power communities.

Thank you to every Valard paramedic who supports the safety of our teams — on site, on call, and ready to respond when and where they're needed most.

Two generations. One calling.

Carey Kostyk, President of Valard, and his son Pat Kostyk, PLT Journeyperson, took the stage at the Quanta Infrastructure Safety Symposium alongside Jeff Ziemba and Jeffrey Ziemba for a conversation that hit close to home — Field Perspectives: Generational Knowledge Transfer.

Moderated by Ryan Lucas, they explored topics including how to pass down values, field expertise, and hard-earned lessons from father to son?

The same last name and the same commitment to excellence.
