Trends and challenges Over the last few years there has been a heightened competition in the market , even internally from NACG ’ s clients that have their own equipment and will in-source work , and that can affect the marketplace .
“ We need to make sure we keep our focus on safety and we need to be able to run tight on our costs ,” Lambert says . “ If you have competitive pricing and strong safety performance you have a good chance of getting the work .”
Also important is NACG ’ s sturdy long term relationships with clients – many since the inception of their operations . Another way the Company is competitive is its diversification with roadwork , light industrial , piping , under-ground utilities , dam construction , and work in other resource areas .
“ All industry areas have a cyclical nature and diversification helps normalize that cyclical impact ,” Lambert says . “ But the oil sands is a consistently strong market area and a place we expect to have a majority of our business for a long time .”
