Fortis Works with Prairie Crane, Northern Strands, & ATS Traffic to Perform Swing Stage Replacement in Regina

During the first month of 2019, Fortis partnered with sister company Northern Strands in Regina at the SaskTel headquarters to complete a Swing Stage replacement on the approximate 200' rooftop. 

A 275T crane was supplied by Prairie Crane and a major road closure, just over half of Saskatchewan Drive, was setup by ATS Traffic. The crane spanned just over a one block radius. 


We would like to thank Prairie Crane and ATS Traffic for helping facilitate completing this job as effectively and as safe as possible.
