Keep critical facilities operating through repairs, upgrades, and capital work.

Construction planned around uptime and asset risk

The right facility construction plan protects production, tenants, inventory, utilities, and emergency access before work starts. We walk the operating constraints with your facility team, confirm live-service locations, define work zones and haul routes, and sequence noisy, dusty, or disruptive tasks into approved windows. That planning governs our industrial concrete floor work, structural concrete repairs, and equipment pad and machine base construction.

We self-perform the work that controls the schedule, including sawcutting, removal, excavation, forming, reinforcing, concrete placement, underground tie-ins, grading, and restoration. Temporary access, protection around operating equipment, dust and water control, curing time, and return-to-service criteria are written into the sequence. Facility staff know which areas remain open, when an asset becomes unavailable, and what must be complete before operations resume.

Facility upgrades built for permits, inspections, and operating controls

Commercial and industrial alterations need a clear compliance path. Harrowgate coordinates the construction scope with your drawings, consultants, permit conditions, and inspection stages. Building work follows the applicable 2024 Ontario Building Code requirements. Concrete materials and execution are aligned with project specifications and applicable CSA A23.1 requirements, while site and underground work follows the applicable OPSS, municipal standards, and approved drawings.

Before excavation or cutting, we confirm available records, arrange required utility locates, and use daylighting and utility exposure where the risk requires it. Our site plan addresses occupied-area separation, delivery control, housekeeping, and the facility's contractor safety procedures. Inspection hold points, test requirements, and deficiencies are tracked through closeout so records do not have to be reconstructed after the work is covered.

Turn condition findings into a practical capital plan

Facility managers need more than a repair price. They need to understand consequence, urgency, access impact, and the cost of deferral. We investigate visible deterioration, drainage failures, settlement, joint breakdown, slab distress, dock damage, and pavement failure, then define a repair boundary that addresses the cause. The result is a scope that can be prioritized by operational risk instead of grouped into a vague maintenance allowance.

Common packages combine loading dock and ramp reconstruction, commercial asphalt paving, catch basin and trench drainage work, concrete curbs, floor repairs, and exterior restoration. Bundling related civil work reduces repeated mobilization and prevents one repair from damaging another. It also gives asset managers usable quantities, phasing assumptions, and site records for annual budgets and longer-term capital forecasting.

Shutdown work compressed without skipping the sequence

A short shutdown succeeds when enabling work happens before the clock starts. Harrowgate confirms dimensions, access, disposal routes, materials, equipment, inspection requirements, and concrete performance criteria in advance. During the outage, crews follow a planned sequence for isolation, selective demolition, excavation, base preparation, reinforcing, embedded items, placement, protection, and cleanup. Daily progress and constraints are reported against the return-to-service milestone, with contingency focused on the activities that control reopening.

Direct accountability from site review through closeout

Harrowgate Group is a licensed, insured, and WSIB certified general contractor serving facility and asset managers across Toronto, the GTA, and Ontario. We manage field execution, coordinate with your engineers and consultants, and self-perform core concrete and civil scopes. Quotes identify assumptions and exclusions, schedules reflect access and curing constraints, and closeout records capture inspections, test results, changes, and completed work for your facility files.
