About Scanada Group
The Scanada Group of Companies are suppliers of hydraulic jacking equipment and services for vertical slipform and jacking systems.
We house the largest fleet of hydraulic jacks in the world and offer an unparalleled level of experience and expertise, backed by a proven track record of success.
Scanada has the highest level of expertise that comes only with decades of experience, employee retention,
the knowledge to manufacture and adapt equipment to specific jobs, and the resource of technical advisors.
The company was founded in 1980, but several of Scanada's current employees, including its founder, Thor Vikstrom, were employed by Scanada's predecessor company,
Heede International, the company that introduced hydraulic slipform and jacking systems to North and South America in the late 1940s.
Scanada's innovative methods for applying its equipment led to rapid growth of slipforming and jacking techniques in these markets and subsequent expansion into global markets.
