As specialists in infrastructure development, we're sensitive to the needs of residents and businesses in communities where we work. Rideau Street at Sussex Drive is the heart of a thriving business community that depends on retail shops, tourism and convention services. It was vital to the economy that businesses were able to continue operating as normally as possible throughout the project. Hard surface accesses were maintained to each business throughout construction and we were in constant communication with store owners to provide advance notice of upcoming work. We also completed a streetscape and artworks to lend this highly public area strong aesthetic appeal.
Taggart Construction coordinates its own security personnel as required. We fully cooperated with municipal and national police and retail security services to carry out the project. Protection of human life was, is and always will be our first priority.
