Who We Are
ABS Excavating Ltd. (ABS) is a Saskatoon, SK. based heavy civil contractor offering services for local, municipal, provincial, and federal agencies. The company had its beginnings in 2010 when Austin Wur was still attending high school. Austin’s drive and work ethic quickly grew the single skid steer venture from working evenings and weekends, to the company it is today. ABS Excavating Ltd. originally was ‘Austin’s Bobcat Services’ until 2013 when the company incorporated and changed the name officially to ABS Excavating Ltd.
2013 was a big year for changes within the company. Along with the incorporation and new name, ABS Excavating Ltd. was approved to be a City of Saskatoon licensed Water and Sewer contractor which began our work with infrastructure.
