From the dense urban traffic of the Greater Toronto Area to the remote northern highways, maintenance requirements vary dramatically. The province experiences everything from lake-effect snow near the Great Lakes to extreme cold in the north, while southern regions face frequent freeze-thaw cycles. This climate diversity, combined with some of North America's busiest transportation corridors, creates a uniquely complex maintenance environment.

Our strategically positioned maintenance crews throughout Ontario allow us to respond to most emergency situations within 24 hours. For critical infrastructure or hazardous conditions in high-traffic areas, we maintain rapid-response teams capable of immediate deployment.
