Services
Hydrodemolition
Hydrodemolition replaces traditional mechanical methods with high-pressure water jets for safer, more efficient concrete repair. This technique preserves rebar integrity, reduces noise and dust, and minimizes structural damage. Ideal for industrial and infrastructure projects requiring precision and safety compliance.
Concrete Restoration
Our concrete restoration services address deterioration through advanced techniques and materials. We specialize in structural repairs, surface preparation, and durability enhancements using industry-leading products from partners like Kryton and Sika. Projects maintain long-term integrity and performance.
Waterproofing
We provide comprehensive waterproofing solutions for foundations, decks, and underground structures. Using polymer-modified membranes and crystalline systems, our methods prevent water ingress while accommodating structural movement. Services ensure longevity for commercial and industrial facilities.

Our industrial coating applications protect surfaces against corrosion, abrasion, and chemical exposure. We apply epoxy, polyurethane, and cementitious coatings tailored to specific environments, ensuring compliance with safety standards and extending asset lifespan for manufacturing and processing facilities.

Gator construction crew located at Oliver Place for a 4 tier parkade overhaul is slow, inefficient, and showed a lack of timely communication between their staff and building management. 6 months of Renos and still no sign of completion. I was barricaded in on the top floor of the parkade after being told I was able to use my stall again, without sufficient notice, and car was covered in fine dust inside and out, which Im still trying to clean off. I was 30 minutes late to work, leaving my client waiting for me and running behind all day bc of that. Crew should foresee these obstacles before
