When the road closes without warning

Storm cleanup, motor vehicle incidents, downed lines, and unplanned closures. Dispatch is staffed around the clock, because the work that cannot wait rarely happens during business hours.

What we respond to

Storm damage and debris on the roadway
Motor vehicle incident scenes
Downed power and communication lines
Utility failures and emergency excavation
Unplanned full and partial closures

How a callout runs

Dispatch is staffed 24/7. When a call comes in we confirm the location, the hazard, and who else is on scene, then mobilize the closest available crew with the devices that situation needs.

Emergency work is still regulated work. Setups follow the same WorkSafeBC standards as planned jobs, and the site is documented the same way — an unplanned closure is not an excuse for an undocumented one.
