🚧 Meet the public and owner voices shaping resilient infrastructure in Ontario!
Resilient infrastructure requires alignment between public investment priorities and private development realities.
In two separate sessions, we’ll hear from leaders representing both sides.
🔹 Johnpaul Antidormi | Eastbridge Partners
A construction and development professional with deep experience across industrial, office, and retail projects, Johnpaul understands how design, cost, and schedule intersect.
His session will provide insight into how owners approach ground improvement within the full development process, aligning engineering strategy with procurement, regulatory, financial, and scheduling considerations.

🔹 Tony Sangiuliano | Ministry of Transportation Ontario
As Head of Foundations at MTO, Tony has advanced geotechnical standards across bridges, embankments, and highway infrastructure for nearly four decades.
He will present the Lancaster Project, examining how resilience, innovation, and long-term asset performance are integrated into provincial transportation projects.

Both sessions offer practical takeaways about resilient infrastructure strategies and owner-driven considerations that influence foundation decisions on complex sites.

🏗️ Meet the speakers unpacking how seismic updates are reshaping foundation design!

Foundation design in Ontario is shifting, driven by evolving seismic code requirements and increasingly complex site conditions.

This session brings together structural and ground improvement perspectives to address that intersection directly.

🔹 Raymond van Groll, P.Eng., M.Sc. | Director, Buildings Structures at MTE Consultants

🔹 Trevor Bruce, P.Eng. | Design Manager at MENARD Canada Inc.

Raymond will discuss how new seismic code requirements are influencing structural design decisions and foundation performance expectations.

Trevor will provide insight into ground improvement from the structural interface on how soil treatment methods can reduce risk, optimize foundation systems, and support cost-effective design.

For structural engineers and geotechnical professionals, this session explores where design assumptions meet subsurface reality.

🔎 Meet the experts leading the discussion on excess soil regulation!
Ontario’s excess soil framework continues to evolve — and compliance is no longer just paperwork. It directly affects schedule, cost, and constructability.
At our Short Course on Challenging Sites in Ontario, we’ll begin the day with a focused session on balancing excess soil under current regulations.
🔹 Freesia Waxman, P.Eng., QPESA | Associate and Senior Engineer at Grounded Engineering
🔹 Neil Isenegger, P.Eng. | Hamilton Branch Manager at Menard Canada

Freesia brings over 15 years of environmental and hydrogeological expertise, including deep experience with O. Reg. 406/19 compliance, soil management plans, remediation, and brownfield development. As a Qualified Person (QPESA), she works at the intersection of regulation and real-world implementation.

Neil has supported numerous ground improvement projects across Ontario, working closely with consultants, contractors, and owners on complex site conditions. His experience includes collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to translate geotechnical strategies into efficient, buildable outcomes.

Together, Neil and Freesia will explore practical strategies for managing excess soil while minimizing risk and disruption on Ontario projects.

🎓 Includes 4 CPD credits recognized by Professional Engineers Ontario.

Slurry walls are a cornerstone of modern containment engineering, but what actually makes them effective?

From bentonite slurry behaviour to backfill selection, quality control, and environmental performance, every detail contributes to creating a continuous, low‑permeability barrier capable of managing groundwater and preventing contaminant migration.
We’ve broken down the fundamentals into 5 technical facts that highlight how these systems are designed and built.

Vous vous êtes déjà demandé à quoi ressemble la journée d’un chef de chantier ?

🏗️ Ce rôle va bien au-delà de la gestion d’un site : il s’agit de leadership, d’adaptabilité et d’apprentissage au quotidien.

Chez Menard Canada, nos chefs de chantier jouent un rôle clé dans la mise en œuvre sûre et efficace de plans complexes.

Dans notre dernier article de la série « Les gens de Menard », nous rencontrons Braedon Innes, chef de chantier basé à Vancouver, en Colombie-Britannique. Ses journées commencent tôt, avec l'examen des plans et les réunions sur la sécurité, avant de coordonner les équipes, les fournisseurs et les clients. Si les routines sont importantes, c'est l'adaptabilité et la définition claire des priorités qui permettent de faire avancer les projets.



🎥 Regardez la vidéo complète pour suivre la journée de Braedon sur le chantier



Pour Braedon, le développement passe par la patience, le mentorat et le fait de poser des questions, le tout soutenu par une culture qui valorise la communication et le travail d'équipe.

Ground improvement is key to building resilient infrastructure. Today, we’re showcasing Vibro Stone Columns, a sustainable technique that strengthens soils while minimizing environmental impact.

Our new video demonstrates how vibratory probes create compacted stone inclusions that increase bearing capacity, enhance drainage, and reduce settlement, all while minimizing spoil.

🎥 Watch the process in action below

Why it matters:
✓ Reduced environmental impact: minimizes generated waste
✓ Cost-effective and versatile: suitable for clay, sand, and fills
✓ Improves soil shear strength: reduces the risk of liquefaction
