April is Dig Safe Month in Ontario, a time dedicated to raising awareness about safe digging practices to protect individuals and infrastructure from damage. It's a crucial reminder to contact Ontario One Call before digging, whether it's for a small landscaping project or a large construction undertaking.

Yesterday our crew was installing a few streetlights and prepping for the activation of a brand-new intersection at this site. When doing a project like this, we work in crews, and use the “buddy system”. This is where one employee directs traffic, another operates the boom and keeps an eye on the street light/the person on the ground, and the final employee helps direct and fasten the pole and wire all the cables for this new light. Our employees are constantly looking out for each other to ensure everyone gets home safely.

As the GTA continues to grow, we constantly need to evolve and connect not only our utilities, but the surrounding subdivisions, shopping centers and other critical services needed in our areas. These photos show the “before and after” of a brand-new crosswalk that we have just finished building! The flashing beacons used here are great for alerting oncoming traffic to pedestrians trying to cross with both a visual and audio alert system. This allows for safer access to the surrounding community to enjoy parks, and walk to visit new neighbors and gives a safe path to nearby shopping centers.

While on-site, our electricians and labourers always have to be aware of the pre-existing utilities and the surrounding traffic. Here is a mid-project view of our electrician mounting a bracket on the newly installed traffic pole for a crosswalk! Our best practices are always to include multiple systems to keep our employees safe and protected while on site. Here you see a portion of our traffic control plan with pylons, flashing arrows on the back of the truck, and a spotter (not pictured) who is keeping an eye on our electrician in the sky.

One of the many services we provide at ON-TEK Electric is Manhole Construction and Re-Construction, which entails installing or reconstructing existing Manholes. As you walk around the city you notice manhole covers, and although we know they have utilities underneath, you may not know the advantages or importance of having a properly constructed Manhole systems. Think of Manholes as a subway station, with access to certain lines (like electrical cables and pathways for the surrounding utilities). Those pathways allow us to organize and direct power and information via cables to intersections or surrounding lighting systems which in turn keeps the community moving efficiently and safely. Properly constructed Manholes can reduce downtime in the event of issues or upgrades to our growing infrastructure, and correctly organizing those Manholes is essential when planning for the future, as well as securing the past.

Here’s a close-up view of the directional drilling process in action! Working in an active pedestrian walkway requires careful planning and ex*****on to ensure public safety while minimizing disruptions.

Our first step was to secure locates to identify underground utilities such as gas, water, hydro, and telecom to make sure that the drilling operation could proceed safely without risk of service interruptions.

Comprehensive documentation and a well-coordinated plan were critical to aligning the drill path and avoiding hazards.

To protect pedestrians, we clearly denoted the work zone with cones, barriers, and signage, creating safe pathways around the site. Regular inspections of the area, maintaining clear communication with the public, and ensuring our team adhered to strict protocols were paramount to the success of this operation. These precautions gave us a safe and efficient workflow while prioritizing public safety and well-being.

Directional drilling is a precise, minimally invasive technique, but it requires skilled operation and close attention to detail. Projects like this demonstrate the importance of preparation, safety, and teamwork in delivering infrastructure solutions that serve the community responsibly.

Keeping in theme with highlighting our Underground Services this month, here is a Duct Bank we were building! Duct Banks are a great way to separate/direct and protect underground cables and utilities. After digging a trench, we install conduit pipe, spacers and rebar cages all to be encased in concrete to strengthen and protect the conduit pipes and underground utilities. These pipes are directed to Manholes or Transformer pads depending on the job's requirements. This is so we can access and label incoming and outgoing pipes for better organization and faster fixes in the event of potential future issues.

As we discussed last week, directional Drilling is a service we provide to accurately install and direct new pathways for electrical cables. In this case, we were drilling a new path under this busy street for power to be delivered to a new intersection. On the right side, you'll see our directional drill on standby, and just in front of our Drill Truck, our crew is attaching the pipe to the drill head to be fed back across the street, giving our electrical cables a safe, protected, and direct path to the source of power. Directional Drilling truly is a great way to install underground cable and pipe while not closing roads or affecting the surrounding community.
