About Us

& Our People

TSL Mechanical

TSL Mechanical Inc. started in 1975 in Lanigan SK. out of a garage by our founder Dave Thirsk. Dave a journeyman millwright by trade was his own employee for over 10 years when he started to hire others to help with his busy growing schedule. In the early 2000's TSL started to purchase equipment, with the first pieces being an excavator and a loader. In 2005 Gerald & Kim Bernauer purchased the business from Dave. From there TSL expanded the earthmoving side after purchasing 2 dozers & more excavators, along with more hauling equipment. Dave stayed on with the company in the estimating & project departments until his retirement in 2018.

In 2019 TSL brought on 3 more partners with the addition of Dustin, Brett, & Owen Bernauer.

TSL has now grown into a multi-industry business, with over 30 full time employees completing projects all over Alberta, Saskatchewan & Manitoba.
