 A frequent debate in the construction industry is whether to buy or rent industrial equipment. There is no single one-size-fits-all answer. There are pros and cons of each option, and you will need to weigh these within the context of your own situation at any one particular point in time.
Depending on your requirements, there are situations where purchasing equipment is the right choice. However, renting equipment is also an increasingly popular option and can be the absolute right decision in certain cases for a number of valid reasons. Read on to learn more about the benefits of renting versus the benefits of buying industrial equipment.
 We have a complex utility locate system in Ontario with many regulations, standards, guidelines and best practices that employers and workers must follow to ensure they are working safely near buried utility lines. Many of these documents state that you must hand dig within the tolerance zone or hand expose zone without giving clear direction of HOW to hand dig or hand excavate.
 This seminar will provide an overview of the goals of the UESI, including various advancements in utility mapping technologies and standards. Viewpoints, needs, and issues from various stakeholders will be discussed, and will include speakers from the utility, consulting/construction, and municipal sectors.
