OHSA Regulation 851, Section 72
72. (1) Where a structure is damaged to the extent that a collapse of the structure or any part of the structure is likely to occur and cause injury to a worker,
(a) the structure shall be braced and shored to prevent the collapse of the structure; or
(b) effective safeguards shall be provided to prevent access to the area. R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 851, s. 72 (1).
(2) The bracing and shoring or other safeguards prescribed by subsection (1) shall be installed progressively to ensure that a worker installing the bracing and shoring or other safeguards is not in danger. R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 851, s. 72 (2).
Structural Upgrade Engineering
Our structural engineering team combines an in-depth understanding of engineering principles, technological opportunities, construction processes, in-service use and regulatory frameworks – all of which are brought together in order to collaborate with our clients on a solution that satisfies each of these criteria.
Our structural engineers produce designs for new builds and retrofits that not only ensure successful solutions, but optimise the construction process and minimize maintenance costs along the way.
Next Hydrogen Large Industrial Gantry Crane
Our team performed the design, fabrication, welding and painting operations for their new, large custom gantry crane at our facility. The installation helped to improve our clients’ facility operations.
Outdoor maintenance travelers
A recent large-scale project has our team installing replacement “Maintenance Travellers” for the underside of a suspension bridge over the St. Lawrence river between Ontario and New York.
Custom Transfer Cart
One of our customers recently purchased a brand new laser cutting machine that increased production while reducing the footprint in their facility. But there was a problem.

Custom Engineering
Concept
Taking a collaborative approach, we work with our clients to investigate all of the requirements of a project from a productive, environmental, usage and safety capacity. Then we use this information to inform our in-house design team.
Design
Our in-house design team combines their years of collective experience in manufacturing design and engineering with technical software and regulatory knowledge to design a solution for the project at hand to be sent for approval from our in-house engineering team.
Approval
Our in-house engineering team makes adjustments to make sure the initial design meets or exceeds all capacity, usage, environmental, safety and regulatory criteria and approves the project for fabrication.
Fabrication
Our team of CWB Certified welders brings the approved design concepts created by our design and engineering teams to life in our 30,000 sq ft fabrication facility.
Inspection
Once a project has completed the fabrication stage, it is inspected and tested to ensure all capacity, usage, environmental, safety and regulatory criteria are met or exceeded.
Installation
Once final inspection is completed, your project is ready for the installation phase, which includes physical installation, implementation of in-site training, adjustments (as needed), a Prestart Health and Safety Review, exemption letters, engineering sign-offs, and electrification according to CSA C22 standards (if applicable).
