Trusted where the stakes are public

Provincial highways — Ministry of Transportation

Highway corridors concentrate everything that makes digging dangerous: live traffic, lane-closure windows, and utility crossings that predate the drawings. ANIC services the MTO on exactly this work — daylighting and exposure where a strike closes lanes and makes the evening news.

Airports — GTAA

Work at Toronto Pearson means security clearance, escort protocols and a zero-tolerance safety culture. ANIC lists the GTAA among the clients it services — the kind of vetting that de-risks every other hire.

Government of Canada

Federal facilities and infrastructure carry the industry's most demanding procurement bar — insurance, safety documentation and disposal chain-of-custody that survive audit. Clearing it is the strongest pre-qualification a specialty contractor can hold.

Municipalities across Ontario

Watermain renewal, transit expansion, catch-basin programs — the recurring municipal work where hydro vac is either specified outright or is the only method that meets the utility owners' conditions.

Contractors & utilities

General contractors call when the locate paint is fresh and the schedule can't absorb a strike; utility owners call to expose their own live plant safely. Both get the same trucks and the same discipline the agencies get. Private-sector references — confirm with ANIC.
