About Us
Founded over two decades ago, Top Shelf Energy began as a construction management company. However, we quickly realized that following the industry's beaten path was not our destiny.
The standard process of separating engineering and design from construction was not working, fraught with delays, problems, and frustration for everyone involved. For us, this was not just a challenge; it was a call to action.
At Top Shelf Energy, we refuse to accept the status quo. We saw a fragmented process that prioritized paperwork over people and complexity over clarity. It was clear that the industry's standard operating procedure was not the best way to ensure a project's success. Our frustration with this approach sparked a fierce desire to redefine the process from the boardroom to the build site.
Redefining Excellence
Our answer to the industry's chaos was simple yet revolutionary: lead with construction and prioritize people.
We expanded our service offerings beyond construction management to encompass planning, project management, engineering and procurement. We didn't just add services; we reinvented how these elements come together. By becoming a unified project execution partner, we ensured that every project is meticulously planned and designed with the end goal in mind – seamless design and construction.
This integration was more than a strategy; it was a commitment to excellence. By combining services, we eradicated confusion, minimized delays and significantly reduced injuries. We placed construction at the heart of the engineering design process, ensuring a smooth, efficient and successful project lifecycle. This was not just about building energy infrastructure; it was about building trust, reliability and unparalleled results.
A Legacy Of Success
Today, Top Shelf Energy stands as a testament to what can be achieved when you refuse to accept the norm.
Throughout our history, we've maintained a zero TRIF – a rare feat in our industry. We've constructed more than 3,000 kilometers of pipeline across North America, managing $1.25 billion in developed projects and capital spending. These numbers are not just statistics; they are milestones of our relentless pursuit of excellence and evidence of our commitment to safety, efficiency and success.
Looking Ahead
Our journey from a construction management company to a project execution partner reflects our unwavering commitment to change the industry for the better.
At Top Shelf Energy, we are not just builders; we are innovators, problem-solvers and trailblazers. We've set new standards for project execution by prioritizing people and integrating services, proving that when passion and purpose align, the possibilities are limitless.
As we look to the future, our mission remains clear: to continue pushing the boundaries, challenging the status quo, and leading the way in planning, engineering, managing and constructing for more efficient and people-focused projects.
"Our project was schedule driven. Top Shelf Energy managed up to five simultaneous construction work fronts and right sized the inspector resourcing to ensure work was completed efficiently and thoroughly. During this time, they provided regular cost reports, recommendations for production efficiency, high level risk management, and support for change order management."
