Toronto's extreme winter conditions demanded specialised polymer formulations capable of maintaining structural integrity at -40°C. Our anti-trespass panels were engineered with enhanced cold-weather compounds and flexible mounting systems to accommodate thermal expansion.
Installation was completed during Toronto's harsh winter months, requiring specialised cold-weather installation procedures and equipment. The project team worked closely with TTC operations to minimise service disruption across three major transit lines.
Security Effectiveness
The anti-trespass system achieved a 95% reduction in unauthorized track access incidents within the first six months. The visual deterrent effect, combined with physical barriers, has significantly improved operational safety and service reliability.
A total of 7,656 Anti-Trespass Panels were installed across high-risk areas and key access points where trespassing incidents were most frequent. The unique conical stud design created an uncomfortable walking surface, effectively deterring unauthorized individuals from crossing while integrating seamlessly with existing infrastructure.
Drainage Solutions
Innovative water management systems supporting sustainable infrastructure and environmental protection.
Pembroke Rail Drainage System
MDS installation with curved drainage path and bedrock constraints, achieving target discharge rate for rail infrastructure water management.
Installation Challenges
Extensive bedrock severely limited drainage depth and installation options. Existing telecommunications infrastructure required careful navigation, while the curved drainage path needed to direct water towards the tunnel entrance within tight timeframe constraints.
The MDS was installed with 1-in-20 gradient on 75mm pea gravel bed, with units stepped to overcome additional bedrock encounters. Units were cut at 90-degree angles to maintain drainage run, with 50mm MDS tiles protecting the base trough from sediment build-up.
Successful Results
The system achieved the target discharge rate of 42 litres per second, successfully adapted to site constraints without compromising performance, and completed installation within time restrictions, demonstrating the system's versatility in challenging rail environments.
"The Rosehill MDS proved how the system can overcome challenges we encounter on site regularly. The ability to cut and step the units without impacting performance was extremely useful under a time-restricted install."
