Our history
Balvac Ltd was originally incorporated in Liverpool as Whitley Moran & Company Ltd in October 1933.
From its inception, the company pioneered innovative techniques such as gunite, sprayed concrete and resin injection for repairing concrete and masonry. In 1967, Balfour Beatty acquired the company, further expanding its expertise and reach.
