Play, SteelCore – Rope Structures, CedarScape – Timber Playgrounds and UnderCover – Shade Features Tyler Van Hierden, Productions Manager, joined BDI about six years ago. In his time there, Tyler has personally witnessed much of the company’s significant evolution. Today, he says they are capable of taking on all manner of playground projects, big and small. “We can do just about anything,” Tyler says. “It all depends on what the client wants.” These days, BDI’s clients are mainly school boards and municipalities, and their work tends to take them across southern Alberta and south-eastern British Columbia. According to both Falon and Tyler, there are several key reasons clients in that niche tend to choose BDI. Those reasons include: their locality (all their products are proudly manufactured in Alberta), the top quality of their products (which they back with “the best warranty in the industry,” Tyler says), and their start-tofinish service offering (which includes support and maintenance afterwards). “We pride ourselves on being a one-stop playground shop,” Falon says. “We truly offer a turnkey service.” “We do everything from A-to-Z,” Tyler elaborates. “We’ll help clients with grants, we’ll help them to figure out their needs in terms of accessibility and budget, we’ll figure out what type of surfacing they want, and then we’ll install everything and take care of the project from beginning to end.” JULY 2025
