How Our Construction Traffic Control Works
A proven five-step process that ensures safety, compliance, and minimal disruption to traffic flow.
Free Site Consultation
Our team visits your site to assess traffic conditions, road geometry, and project requirements. We identify the optimal traffic control approach and provide a detailed, no-obligation quote.
Traffic Control Plan Design
We design a custom traffic control plan (TCP) per OTM Book 7 specifications, including device placement, signage schedules, lane configurations, and detour routes. Plans are ready for municipal or MTO review.

We assist with all required permit applications including City of Ottawa TCE (Temporary Construction Encroachment) permits, road occupancy permits, and MTO work permits for provincial highways.
Professional Deployment
Our certified crew arrives on schedule with all required equipment — signs, delineators, barriers, arrow boards, and PVMS. Setup follows the approved TCP exactly, with documented compliance photos.
