In December of 2023 Maple Reinders began a siteworks project for the Caledon headquarters of ATS Containers. The two focuses of this project were to improve the site, and to implement a stormwater management system for the property. Throughout the course of the construction, which took less than a year to complete, Maple Reinders was responsible for the grading and landscaping of a swale along the site perimeter, as well as the installation and servicing of a stormwater management tank. Additionally, the exterior of the site received several improvements. In the front parking area, a privacy fence was put up, along with a new gate, which was modified to suit the new design. The parking lot itself was also revamped, repaved with asphalt, and concrete curbs were added. An accessibility ramp was also constructed.

Throughout the duration of this project, our team on site were presented with a few challenges which they had to work around. Firstly, the property lines of the site were unclear. Waste from one the neighbouring businesses was interfering with the project, so Maple became responsible for the relocation and disposal of some of the garbage. A second complication was the fact that ATS Containers continued to operate and conduct business throughout our team’s time on site. Items were shipped in and out on a regular basis while construction progressed, making it necessary that the client’s business and our work on site occur sequentially. This was achieved through daily communication and collaboration between Maple’s site supervisor and the client’s property yard manager.
