We view things from your perspective.

Dec 20, 2013
"Day Group offers a range of Rail Services with the right people and the right equipment, to meet preventative maintenance and capital improvements, including planned capital projects, snow removal and a switch-panel installation crew."





As one of Northern Ontario’s leading complete-service contractor, the addition of Rail Services to our Construction, Transportation, Environmental and Aggregate divisions will provide you with a single-source solution that you can depend on, whether providing ongoing maintenance or performing emergency repairs, we complete the job on budget, on time.
 
One of Day's strong points on the rail is our fleet of excavators equipped with hi-tracker power carts. These units vary from 20 tonne excavators to 35 tonne excavators. The units are equipped with full air brake system on the 25-yard gravel boxes and the towed flat-beds with a certified capacity of 110,000 lbs. This allows us to bring equipment in to remote work sites.
 
The excavators can be equipped with a variety of buckets, brush cutters, grapples and magnets to meet endless job requirements. Also in our fleet is the 20 tonne class excavator, hi-rail equipped, with many of the same attachments as the track excavators. It comes with its own 14 yard gravel box and 10 tonne lorry.
