F
rom the Lower Churchill project in Newfoundland
to Suncor’s Fort Hills in Alberta, Rising Edge Group
has contributed to some of Canada’s most notable
projects. The full-EPC contractor has contributed its exper-
tise in the construction and commissioning of substations,
generation plants, HVDC Stations, HV cable systems, over-
land transmission lines, and renewable energy.
Rising Edge is the vision of founder Nick Maher, who
started the company from his basement in 2002. Maher
put everything into Rising Edge Group—the first piece of
testing equipment was purchased with the cash from his
RRSPs. The risk paid off: within two years, Rising Edge
had a foothold in the local construction market, eventually
expanding to an Edmonton office, then a Panel Shop, an
office in Regina, Saskatchewan, and so on.
Rising Edge’s expertise has also grown to include a wide
array of services in the power generation, utilities, fabrica-
tion, and industrial industries. In recent years, Rising Edge
has made a strong push to specialize in renewables and
are now uniquely positioned to provide services in that
market. “From conceptual design through to commis-
sioning, each aspect of your project is handled by trained
industry specialists, resulting in a product that is complete,
on-time, and on-budget,” says Troy Sharpe, VP, Business
Development for Rising Edge Group.
