The installation of the multi-use pathway along Lake Drive involves the development of a safe, accessible, and continuous route designed to accommodate pedestrians, cyclists, and other non-motorized users.
This project includes installation of bollards across Lake Drive from Civic Center to Jacksons Point, along with the installation directional and regulatory signs onto square break off posts allowing for a user friendly multi use pathway.
Over the winter, we installed over 7,000 meters of turtle fencing, which closely resembles silt fencing and serves as an environmental barrier to protect local wildlife. The project required trenching 12 inches deep through snow-covered terrain, using a low ground pressure nod well to minimize environmental impact and ensure access across sensitive areas. Multiple crews worked collaboratively, with one excavator clearing snow ahead and another following to dig the trench, allowing for efficient and consistent installation throughout the season.
We completed repairs on several roadway medians within the municipality, including interlock restoration and the removal of outdated bollards that posed safety risks to traffic. Working under active traffic conditions, we implemented full traffic control measures to ensure the safety of both workers and the public. All work was performed in compliance with WSIB standards, with crews fully trained and equipped in safety protocols such as WHMIS and 4-Step procedures, while consistently using proper personal protective equipment.
We hydroseeded the slopes and swamp areas of a recently disturbed site within the Cote Mine, operated by IAMGOLD. This work focused on stabilizing erosion-prone zones, including steep embankments and sensitive wetland areas. Specialized seed mixes were used to meet site-specific environmental requirements, helping to restore vegetation across critical habitats—particularly those supporting turtles and fish. The hydroseeding supports long-term erosion control while promoting ecological recovery throughout the reclaimed zones.
We constructed a living wall environmental fence to provide sound protection and added privacy for the loading bay of a large industrial building. The project combined functionality with aesthetics, using stabilized, high-quality materials. Throughout the installation, we prioritized safety by utilizing high-visibility gear, clearly marked safety vehicles, and maintaining a secure work zone for both our crew and nearby pedestrians, ensuring a safe and healthy environment from start to finish.
We re-seeded a previously disturbed creek area using a specialized wetlands seed mix, chosen specifically for its ability to thrive in flood-prone conditions near the creek below. To support healthy growth and strong germination, we spread a layer of nutrient-rich topsoil throughout the site, ensuring the vegetation could establish effectively in the challenging, moisture-heavy environment.
We reseeded several isolated, abandoned mine sites where tailings—waste byproducts of mining—had been pumped and layered, creating conditions where natural growth typically can't occur. Despite the challenging environment, we successfully established vegetation across these areas, using specialized techniques and seed mixes to promote growth. This work marks a meaningful step toward restoring the landscape and helping return the site to a more natural, sustainable state.
We used a large long-arm excavator to place and reposition rock along a creek to control washouts and manage water flow. To reinforce the banks, we laid fiber cloth and installed gabion stones, creating a stable barrier against continued erosion, which had been a persistent issue in the area. Once stabilized, we applied a specialized slope seed mix to promote vegetation growth and provide long-term erosion control, helping to protect the creek from future damage.
