Built on Trust: Emil Anderson Construction Projects
Emil Anderson Construction (EAC) is one of British Columbia’s most established infrastructure and development companies, known for its 85-year history of safe, high-quality projects across Western Canada. Boundary Fencing has been part of that story since 2016 – trusted to deliver reliable, specification-driven commercial and infrastructure fencing solutions across everything from city builds to agricultural and ministry-standard highway work.
The partnership began with a single bid on a government infrastructure job. Boundary Fencing delivered an accurate quote and delivered on-spec, on time, and without compromise, earning EAC’s trust and repeat business. Nine years later, that relationship has grown into an ongoing collaboration across residential fencing, commercial fencing, and large-scale infrastructure fencing projects throughout the Okanagan and other regions in BC’s Interior.
“I highly recommend Boundary Fencing. In my seven and a half years with EAC, we’ve always used them. They build relationships, are responsive, and always come to the site to review issues or determine the right type of fence for the project. They provide accurate quotes and meet project schedules.”
– Clayton Murray, Emil Anderson
Project Overview
Client Name: Emil Anderson Construction
Project Name: Emil Anderson Construction
Project Type: Residential, commercial, infrastructure, and agricultural fencing
Location: BC Interior
Size/Scope: Multi-site partnership
Timeline: 9+ year partnership
Why the Project was Needed
For EAC, fencing is about more than marking property lines; it’s about safety, compliance, and protecting the public and the environment. Each infrastructure project carries its own set of ministry or municipal specifications, from privacy fencing near residential zones to agricultural fencing and wildlife exclusion fencing along major highways.
Boundary Fencing’s role is to deliver all of it: secure perimeters that meet government standards, maintain safety on active construction sites, and fit seamlessly into complex, multi-contractor schedules.
Project Highlights
- Highway 8 Reconstruction: Specialized agricultural fencing with integrated snake-exclusion systems designed to guide wildlife safely toward culverts under the roadway. Boundary Fencing installed hundreds of metres of fencing using ANIMEX wildlife-exclusion systems to protect the local wildlife population and meet environmental standards.
- Highway 1 near Tappen: Multi-kilometre fence installation combining barbed wire, page wire, and privacy fencing. Each stretch was tailored to the Ministry of Transportation requirements for residential, agricultural, and reservation lands.
- Kelowna International Airport (YLW) Runway Lighting Expansion: 2 km of chain link fencing installed to secure critical infrastructure zones during the airport’s lighting expansion project.
These projects represent the full spectrum of Boundary Fencing’s expertise, from environmental protection to high-security commercial fencing, all delivered under tight timelines and strict compliance.
Challenges and Solutions
Infrastructure fencing presents complex challenges: multiple fence styles within the same project, stringent ministry specifications, and coordination across large sites.
Boundary Fencing meets those challenges through preparation and precision.
- Adhering to Specifications: Every fence type, from barbed wire to privacy panels, is installed to exact Ministry of Transportation standards.
- Quality Control: A detailed QA process ensures consistent installation quality across crews.
- Material Readiness: Boundary Fencing maintains a large inventory of both standard and specialty fencing materials, minimizing delays and meeting unexpected needs without waiting on suppliers.
Lee Munsey, Boundary Fencing’s owner, notes that “we’re not always the lowest bidder, but we are always reliable. EAC knows that when they call, we’ll meet the spec, meet the schedule, and handle it professionally.”
