We are excited to announce Monteith & Sutherland Ltd. is now COR™ certified!
This great achievement was possible thanks to the relentless implementation of the rigorous, solid Health & Safety procedures on all the levels, a thorough gaps-analysis, internal and external audits and, of course, an amazing team-work.
Presently, as of August 16th, 2018, Monteith & Sutherland is the first and only COR™ certified surveying company in Ontario.
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:
Thanks PipeFlo for the highest safety practices pertaining the confined space entry, and for all the help during the survey.
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.
On the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit project we perform precise deformation monitoring, where we survey surface and building settlement points. There are approximately 4250 settlement instruments to be observed at varying frequencies over the course of the project, with 7 survey crews working together to complete daily monitoring tasks where there is active construction. One of the most challenging parts of this work is the traffic management. We work alongside On Track Safety Ltd and Toronto Police to manage the flow and safety of traffic, as well as the workers.
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.
