Building Durable, Beautiful, and Functional Park Shelters Across Western Canada

GLV Construction provides complete shelter installation services, managing every detail from design coordination to final anchoring and inspection. We handle the full process — foundation work, grade beams, anchoring systems, electrical connections, and concrete pad construction — ensuring each structure is installed safely, securely, and in harmony with its surroundings.
Through our sister company, Parkcraft, GLV installs shelters and shade systems from local fabricators such as Quantum Fabricators and leading PlayCore companies, including Superior Recreational Products. These partnerships allow us to offer a wide range of pre-engineered, customizable shelters built for longevity and aesthetic appeal.

Comprehensive Mobilization

We organize all equipment, products, and paperwork before construction begins, ensuring engineered drawings and site plans are acquired and verified.

Dedicated Site Orientation & Safety

Every project includes rigorous site orientation, featuring daily "tailgate meetings" to discuss timelines, safety, and Field Level Hazard Assessments (FLHA) with all workers and contacts.

003

Professional Base Preparation

We build a solid foundation by erecting concrete forming to exact specifications, installing rebar, and placing concrete for pilings and pads.

004

Secure Framework Erection

Our team securely installs the main structural posts onto anchor bolts and carefully plumbs the entire framework to ensure base rigidity.

Safety & Standards

Every shelter installation is completed to CSA standards and municipal engineering and design guidelines, ensuring both safety and structural integrity. Our COR- and ISN-certified crews follow stringent safety procedures during excavation, assembly, and finishing.

    Our installation process includes:

  • Precise footings, grade beams, and anchoring systems for long-term stability
  • Electrical and solar integration for lighting, outlets, or powered amenities
  • Drainage and grading coordination to prevent water pooling and frost damage
  • Quality control and inspection documentation at every milestone
Because many shelter projects involve coordination with underground utilities or complex sites, our team excels at working with municipalities, designers, and engineers to ensure compliance and avoid conflicts. The result is a worry-free process and a shelter that’s built to last for generations.
