In 1973, friends Dieter Fettback and Ernie Moore had a vision worth mortgaging their homes for — to start an electrical contracting company that would have a reputation for the highest integrity and quality. They succeeded, and Western Pacific gained a reputation for handling any commercial, civil, or industrial assignment efficiently, safely, and on budget.
Western Pacific won the prized SkyTrain contract in preparation for Expo 86, delivering power, signaling, lighting, and communication systems for SkyTrain’s Expo Line, a major attraction at Vancouver’s World Expo on Transportation and Communication in 1986.
When Ernie died in 1989, Dieter’s sons (Dave, Ron, Wayne, and Mark) joined forces with Ernie’s son (Hal) to carry on the family legacy.
Awarded the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, Vancouver was preparing to host another major global event with the help of WPE. The company provided electrical installations for event sites in Whistler and Vancouver, including BC Place Stadium and Vancouver Convention Centre, with security systems at each venue. Once again, rapid rail public transportation was on the table, with WPE winning the bid to work on the Canada Line, the new automated light rail service connecting downtown with Richmond and the airport. WPE successfully completed each critical project on time for the Olympic Winter Games.
MYR Group acquired Western Pacific in 2016, expanding its Commercial & Industrial (C&I) presence in Western Canada while leveraging Transmission & Distribution (T&D) capabilities in the region through
Western Pacific was an early adopter incorporating 3D model l ing for design, estimating, and construction. The capacity to compute a maximum price, as well as completely developed drawings showing the position of every electrical component — lights, plugs, fire alarms, everything — is enabled by 3D model l ing. This use of technology and smart building systems (Internet of Things (IoT)) has been critical to the success of The Post project, one of Canada’s most extensive historic renovation projects.
Across MYR Group, prefabrication is evolving from a way to improve individual tasks into a strategic approach that changes how teams plan, build, and work. As projects grow larger and more complex, schedules tighten, and skilled labor becomes harder to find, teams are moving work from jobsites to controlled offsite environments.
Western Pacific Enterprises Ltd. is sponsoring Christmas at Canada Place, presented by the Port of Vancouver and Vancouver Fraser Port Authority. Its custom-designed tree is on display in the Avenue of Trees exhibit from November 29, 2024, through January 1, 2025. The free event is celebrating its 37th year.
Western Pacific Enterprises received top honors at the 2024 VRCA Awards of Excellence Gala. Its work on YVR26 – The Post South Tower won Gold, and the Waterfront Station Power Upgrade received Silver. The company’s safety team also won the Superior Safety Record award.
Western Pacific Enterprises, through its MYR Group subsidiaries, is collaborating to design and construct electric vehicle charging stations at dealerships across the United States and Canada. This initiative supports the growing EV market and the expected increase in charging infrastructure driven by federal incentives and rising vehicle sales. The effort is part of the company's commitment to the clean energy transformation.
Western Pacific Enterprises Ltd. Vice President Derek Fettback was appointed chair of the Electrical Contractors Association of BC board for a two-year term. He has served on the board for four years, including as first vice chair. Fettback joined WPE as an apprentice in 1997 and has held roles including foreman, superintendent and construction manager.
Western Pacific Enterprises won a Gold Award at the 2022 VRCA Awards of Excellence for the Edmonton Valley Line LRT project, which took top honours in the over-$8 million category. Vice President Tom Butterfield and Project Manager Brittany Bailey accepted the award. WPE served as the project’s electrical contractor and managed installation of the electrical system.
Western Pacific Enterprises was named an Excellence Awardee in two Canada’s Safest Employer Awards categories: Canada’s Safest Utilities and Electrical Employer and the BGIS Award for Safety Leader of the Year. The awards, presented by Canadian Occupational Safety, were due to be announced in late October. WPE said the nominations recognized the dedication of its safety personnel and workforce.
