Safety on the road starts with great training and instead of just hiring anyone, Glen Traffic runs its own training school right here in the Lower Mainland. This means that every Traffic Control Person (TCP) and Lane Closure Technicians (LCT) has been taught the exact same high standards before they step foot onto a construction site.
By teaching our own staff, we make sure that everyone is on the same page. Our training covers everything from basic hand signals to complicated highway lane closures. This gives our clients comfort knowing that the people managing their traffic are knowledgeable in their field.
At Glen Traffic, we invest in modern technology such as AFADs (Automated Flagger Assistance Device), which are portable, remotely operated temporary traffic control equipment with high visibility signage. This device allows our workers to stop and start traffic from a safe spot away from the road instead of standing right in front of moving cars. This technology adds a barrier that protects both the drivers and our crew.
Using these new technology shows that Glen Traffic is always looking for better and newer ways to stay safe. If it reduces that chance of human error and also makes the construction site much safer for everyone, it is a win for the company and the public.
We build trust by how we treat our neighbours, not just the work we provide. We have partnered with local groups and Indigenous communities to create jobs and support the local economy. Glen Traffic focuses on hiring people from areas where we work so that the benefits stay within the community.
These partnerships show that we are invested in the future of the Lower Mainland and we want to be a business that people feel good about working with and supporting. Taking care of the people and the land is just as important to us as managing the traffic.
With hundreds of jobs completed, Glen Traffic has seen every type of road situation. We have managed traffic for small street repairs in Surrey and for massive projects like highway expansions. Our long history proves that we can handle the busiest and most difficult areas.
Our experience helps us spot potential problems before they actually happen. Because we have so many different sites, we know how to keep the traffic moving while keeping our workers safe. Our track record is why so many people choose us for their most important projects.
We don’t have to wait on other companies for supplies because we own all of our own gear. Glen Traffic has a great inventory of trucks, message boards, and road signs at our local office in Richmond. Having everything on hand means we can start our job faster and earlier to stay on a strict schedule.
By owning and maintaining our own equipment, we make sure that every vehicle is in great shape and ready to work.
Road emergencies such as broken water pipes or fallen trees don’t only happen during the day and because we have teams available at any hour, we can respond to a call in the middle of the night. Our dispatchers are always ready to pick up the phone and send help wherever it is needed in the Lower Mainland.
Being available 24/7 makes us a very reliable partner for cities and construction crews. When there is an unexpected problem, we can get to the site quickly to set up and keep people away from danger.
Getting a project on the road started usually involves a lot of paperwork and maps. Our planning team at Glen Traffic takes the stress out of this process by designing the traffic plans ourselves. We use software to show exactly where every sign, cone, and workers will be placed to keep the construction site safe.
Once our plans are ready, we help manage the steps needed to get the project started. By handling all of these details internally, we help avoid delays and make the process much smoother for everyone involved.
