At YORK1, we take pride in being one of Canada’s leading providers of integrated environmental and infrastructure services. For decades, we’ve committed ourselves to delivering sustainable, innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of municipalities and private sector clients alike. Our approach isn’t just about getting the job done; it’s about doing it responsibly, efficiently, and with a focus on long-term environmental impact.
Comprehensive Infrastructure Services
We offer a wide range of bundled infrastructure services including bulk excavation, remediation, civil & site services, demolition, abatement, shoring, and much more that allow us to be a true one-stop solution.
We’re committed to helping our clients deliver essential public works that serve their communities. From transit systems and water treatment plants to large-scale remediation and sustainable demolition practices, we’ve built a reputation as a trusted partner for projects of all sizes, no matter how complex the project.
As Canada moves toward more sustainable development goals, we are committed to meeting these challenges head-on through our wide array of services and focus on diverting demolition waste from landfills.
Sustainable Demolition: A Commitment to Environmental Responsibility
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do at YORK1, especially when it comes to demolition. In a sector often criticized for its environmental impact, YORK1 has set a new standard for how demolition can be both efficient and environmentally responsible. With a robust waste diversion strategy, we consistently achieve high levels of material recovery from our demolition sites, ensuring that valuable resources are recycled, kept out of landfills, and contribute to the circular economy.
One of our most recent achievements is the London Free Press demolition project. This project showcases our commitment to sustainable demolition practices and offers a glimpse into the future of urban development. The historic Free Press building, located in downtown London, Ontario, required the careful demolition of a landmark that had stood for decades. Our team not only dismantled the structure safely but also ensured that with the help of our environmental waste services team, 95% of the materials were diverted from landfill. This included the recycling of steel, concrete, and other reusable materials, further solidifying YORK1’s position as an environmental leader in the industry.
This strategy aligns with Canada’s growing focus on a circular economy, where materials are reused and kept in circulation for as long as possible.
1FORALL: A Unified Approach to Client Success
At the heart of YORK1’s operations is our 1FORALL approach—a guiding principle that emphasizes the importance of delivering integrated, comprehensive services to our clients. By providing one point of contact for all services, we simplify the coordination of tasks and trades, eliminating scheduling headaches, minimizing delays, and reducing miscommunication. Our consolidated approach streamlines your on-site logistics by managing all services under one roof, enabling better scheduling and resource allocation. With simplified billing through a single provider, administrative burdens are reduced, offering greater transparency and making it easier for your project managers to track expenses and maintain budgets. Ultimately, this integrated service approach ensures your projects run smoothly, efficiently, and cost-effectively.
