Upgrade of the exterior lighting at a 165-unit Toronto Community Housing complex, including solar-powered lighting for energy efficiency. This improved night time lighting and therefore is important for safety in the neighbourhood. This job was completed in early 2017.

Lighting upgrade at Bathurst Station for the TTC, including removal of existing light fixtures and supply and installation of new light fixtures. The general contractor was Duron Ontario Ltd and the work took place in early 2019.

Lighting retrofit of a large four-level underground garage. Garage remained occupied and operational during the construction period. The work included all new distribution panels, new conduits and wires throughout, new lighting fixtures and removal and disposal of all old conduits systems and old light fixtures.

Work was challenging due to tight construction schedule, large physical size of the facility and the need to minimize interruptions.  Work required detailed scheduling, implementation of safe work methods, and close coordination with the client and the consultant. The work took place from fall 2009 through summer 2010.
