Recognition and awards

Trans-Canada Highway Construction Inc. has received the following awards and recognition:
• Safe and Sustainable Snowfighting Award— the project has won this award on an annual basis since its inception in 2012. The award from the Salt Institute recognizes excellence in environmental consciousness and effective management in the storage of winter road salt.
• The 2018 Road Safety Engineering award from the Transportation Association of Canada, for their Safety Swing Arm (to prevent collisions with snow plows— it consists of a 10’ arm installed in the back of the lead plow truck. When the right-wing is deployed, the arm will extend to create a physical barrier between the motorists and the right wing. The final design was completed in August 2013).
• The silver award in the infrastructure category, by the Canadian Council for Public-Private Partnerships (The Trans-Canada Highway project was the first highway infrastructure project in Canada to require its private-sector partner to finance construction of the project, with payment only once the highway opened to traffic) in November 2008.
• The ISO 9001 and 14,001 certifications ahead of schedule (3 months prior to deadline) as the ISO certifications were required prior to commencing construction in 2005.
