Empowering strong transportation investments
"Trails Manitoba recently contracted Pier Solutions to refurbish and install two wooden bridges (originally from King’s Park, Winnipeg) in the Whiteshell Provincial Park. Both installations required a significant amount of creativity and precision – both of which were executed to perfection. We are extremely satisfied with our choice of contractor and very pleased with the final product. Evan Manning and team were professional, patient, attentive to customer requests, and very easy to work with. We are more than happy to recommend Pier Solutions.”

Trails
In Canada, adventure awaits on every trail. Through our rich public trail networks, landscapes are showcased in a way you can only appreciate at a walking, biking or skiing pace. Trails are gems within communities, for both residents and tourists. Trail use improves people’s physical and mental health, and creates opportunities for enriching community life and economic activity.
Trails are the result of countless volunteer hours, charitable donations, public funds and private/public sector partnerships. Pier Solutions’ collaborative, creative approach allows us to deliver cost-effective projects, beautifully set in our natural and urban environments. Our team has experience partnering with government departments and trail organizations to seamlessly deliver projects.

Network Planning
Walking, cycling and rolling are ultimately the most ideal way for people to get around -- active living is facilitated, greenhouse gas emissions are eliminated, infrastructure investments are minimized and social interactions are facilitated. A strong active transportation network should allow people to safely access daily amenities and activities.

Corridor and Alignment Planning
Trail planning is an art and a science, where community features and natural environments are connected, and motor vehicle conflicts are avoided. A strategic and collaborative approach is key to this fine art and precise science.

Design
The way we design a trail determines who can use it. Is the trail for wheelchairs? Strollers? Cross-country skis? Fat bikes? Understanding the diversity of needs for trail users allows you to maximize trail use.

Permitting
Trails that pass through, along or across crown land, whether a provincial park or provincial highway, likely need some type of permit. Our first-hand experience with government will help you untangle trails’ potentially complex permitting requirements.
