OUR APPROACH
VIRTUAL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
We apply BIM and similar technology during the entire project lifecycle so that we can improve performance in every way.
Empowering Excellence in Building
Our Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) team develops dynamic and innovative solutions that play a pivotal role in revolutionizing the traditional construction process. Combining cutting-edge technology with construction expertise, we are at the forefront of implementing Building Information Modeling (BIM) and other digital tools to enhance project efficiency and collaboration.
Our VDC professionals specialize in creating comprehensive 3D models and integrating architectural, structural, and MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) systems, fostering a holistic view of the project. By leveraging these digital models, we facilitate effective coordination and clash detection, identifying and resolving issues before they arise on the construction site. This proactive approach minimizes rework, reduces costs, and accelerates project timelines.
Our VDC solutions enable us to streamline processes, mitigate risks, and deliver high-quality projects in a rapidly evolving industry.

Alltrade (and Barton Malow as our parent organization) don’t just ‘talk the talk’ about equal opportunities for women, you know they ‘walk the walk’ when you see how many women have grown their careers here and are in positions of leadership in departments or roles that usually lack female representation.Angie Fortney, Senior Project Accountant, Alltrade Industrial Contractors

Saddlebrook Solar
Alltrade constructed the Saddlebrook Solar Project in a joint venture partnership with SkyFire Energy Inc. This fixed tilt solar system will generate enough electricity to power roughly 20,000 homes and sits on nearly 330 acres of repurposed industrial zoned land.
Scotford Solar
The 81 MWDC Scotford solar project will power a top global oil producer’s refinery complex to support the company in achieving its goal of net zero emissions by 2050. Located in Alberta’s industrial heartland, the project is the first large-scale solar installation in the region.
Brooks II Solar
Brooks Solar II builds on the success of Brooks Solar, Western Canada’s first utility-scale solar project. The 27.5 MWAC/32.8 MWDC project spans 160 acres of land and has 2 – 25kV Fortis interconnections.
Elmira Battery Energy Storage
Alltrade was the constructor for NextEra Energy’s Elmira 8MWH Battery Energy Storage System. Alltrade was also selected as the EPC for the facility augmentation requirements in 2022.
Henvey Inlet Wind Substations
Alltrade completed the electrical and civil installation for the two 230kV substations at the Henvey Inlet Wind project. Henvey Inlet is the largest wind project in Ontario, and the third largest in Canada at 300 MW, powering 100,000 Ontario homes.
South Falls Generating Station
This project involved the replacement of a 100-year-old turbine with a new, efficient one that is more than double the generating capacity of the original.
Eglinton Light Rail Transit
The Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (LRT) project is the largest public transit project in Canada. The LRT will provide fast and reliable transit along Eglinton Avenue, helping to reduce congestion by adding 25 stations running east-west along Eglinton. It represents the single biggest expansion of urban rapid transit in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area in more than half a century

Finch West Light Rail Transit
The Finch West Light Rail Transit (LRT) project brought an additional 11 km and 18 stops of public transit, and renewed aging infrastructure to the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. The Finch West LRT also reduced traffic congestion, greenhouse gasses, and fuel consumption and improved quality of life for commuters by reducing daily travel time. The line features accessible platforms, improved streetscapes, and cycling infrastructure.
Ottawa Confederation Line Light Rail Transit
The Confederation Line Light Rail Transit (LRT) project was Ottawa’s largest single infrastructure project since the building of the Rideau Canal. Alltrade completed the installation of all poles, cantilevers, rigid rail, and overhead catenary conductor for the mainline and the maintenance and storage facility Overhead Catenary System (OCS).
Schaeffler Battery Energy Storage
This project was implemented by Schaeffler Canada as part of the Global adjustment (GA) reduction under the Industrial Conservation Initiative (ICI) to curb peak energy demand.
