Our History

25 years of building customer value

Gulf Operators was founded in Saint John, New Brunswick in 1984 by J.D. Irving Limited to serve the civil contracting and aggregate supply needs of the region. Our project management depth is second to none, and we're proud of the high standards we have set for safety and environmental protection.

Over the years, these strengths—combined with our skilled workforce and aggressive investments in the best equipment—have propelled us to become one of Atlantic Canada's largest civil contractors and a trusted leader in our industry.

Recent civil projects we have completed include the Canaport LNG liquefied natural gas receiving and re-gasification terminal in Saint John, the Saint John Regional Hospital expansion in Saint John and road construction to support the first New Brunswick Wind Farm in Kent Hills.

Gulf is part of J.D. Irving's Industrial Equipment and Construction Division. Through our association with Irving Equipment, Universal Truck & Trailer, Irving Wallboard and Kent Homes, you gain access to a broad range of products and services to get the job done.
