Featured Project: Microtunnel alignment surveys, Dixie-QEW Storm Sewer

Monteith & Sutherland crews work with CRS Tunnelling Canada project team to ensure the microtunnelling of the 1200mm storm sewer at Dixie-QEW is going per design alignment.

Precise traversing, while crawling, bending and crouching, and carrying the survey equipment all the way to the heading in and back to the portal is a very demanding task. Our crews do an outstanding job, delivering excellent surveys data sets, and performing all tasks in a safe manner.

Featured Project: Pre-rehabilitation HDLS survey of overflow sewer

Last month Monteith & Sutherland have teamed-up with PipeFlo and performed pre-rehabilitation high definition laser scanning (HDLS) survey of overflow sewer at Barton Street between Weir St North and Fairfield.

The survey was completed with P40 Leica HDL scanner. The data were processed in Leica Cyclone, and cross-sections at 1 metre interval, along with best fit centreline of the structure, were generated in 3D Reshaper:

IEC Safety Management Certified

Monteith & Sutherland has successfully completed the Safety Management Assessment (SMA) certification program developed by the Industrial Education Cooperative, assessed by the Sarnia-Lambton Industrial Educational Cooperative (IEC). The certification is awarded after a 3-year audit process which includes annual reviews of company policies and field visits to observe safety in action. The SMA was created in 2002, and has evolved through a series of revisions to the current integrated audit format, which provides a comprehensive analysis of an organization’s safety management practices. The audit consists of 12 elements that range from legislated safety management requirements to hazard identification and safety management practices in the field. Today more than 250 local, provincial and national contracting companies complete this audit as part of the local industrial plant pre-qualification requirements.

A fresh order of safety gear has arrived for the summer work being conducted at Monteith & Sutherland. Brand new hard hards, safety glasses, gloves, vests, and other important safety gear is ready for use by our new staff, especially summer students joining us from the University of Waterloo and York University.
