Maple Reinders completed the design and construction of a new composting facility in Sydney, Nova Scotia, to process approximately 12,000 tonnes per year of source separated organics and biosolids. The main compost building is divided into two sections: Receiving Area to receive organic material for composting, including a tipping and inspection area; and Composting Tunnels, constructed of concrete on top, bottom, both sides and at one end, with an insulated steel door provided on the open end.
Once compost is placed in the tunnels, they are sealed and oxygen is added through an aerated floor grid to promote biological activity. Indoor storage for an additional five months of material is provided in a separate storage building; and outdoor storage for an additional one year’s worth of material is also provided.
In addition to design and construction, Maple Reinders operated this facility during commissioning and for the first three months of full scale operation prior to hand-over to the Municipality.
The Comox Fixed-Wing Search & Rescue Training Centre is a new state-of-the-art aircraft training (operation and maintenance) facility with mixed use including offices, classrooms, flight simulators, and a full-size airplane.
This Construction Management project involved an addition to Conestoga’s existing and occupied freezer facility in Mississauga

This facility marks the fourth Canadian environmental project which we will deliver under the Public Private Partnership format, a first amongst its fellow Canadian contractors.
Constructed the High Solids Anaerobic Digestion Facility, which was integrated into the operation of the existing Integrated Processing and Transfer Facility and the Edmonton Composting Facility.
Maple Reinders was selected to undertake the replacement of a defunct composting facility for the City of Guelph located at the Waste Resource Innovation Centre. The design of the new facility called for the re-use of existing foundations and remaining sound structural components.
