TORONTO — Barhale, one of the U.K.’s self-performing water sector and tunnelling specialists, has announced its expansion into Canada with the opening of its first business unit in Toronto.
The company plans to grow nationwide with a focus on clean and wastewater resilience, stormwater management and advancing the company’s low carbon solutions, explains a release.
“Establishing a permanent base in Toronto is a landmark step for Barhale and a clear signal of our intent to expand our specialist civil engineering and tunnelling capabilities and our Low Carbon Solutions business,” said Barhale Group chief executive Martin Brown in a statement.
“Both the U.K. and Canada are making significant investments within the water sector and have made legally binding commitments to achieving net-zero by 2050. We see a tremendous opportunity to support those ambitions with our Canadian workforce.”
Barhale Canada Inc was incorporated in February 2025, and Brown notes he is “very excited to now be able to formally launch the business.
“Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area provide a strong platform for this work, with a clear policy focus on decarbonization and resilient infrastructure. Establishing a local presence allows us to work more closely with both local and Indigenous communities to grow our business organically through training and developing Canadian talent.”
