Fence supply, rental and installation in Iqaluit
Iqaluit is the capital of Nunavut and the smallest market on our roster, but logistically the most demanding. Sealift-only freight runs one summer barge season per year — orders are placed in March for delivery in August. Permafrost-zone installations require thermosyphon piles or screw-pile foundations rated to -50 °C; conventional concrete footings fail in active-layer churn. The Government of Nunavut headquarters, Nunavut Arctic College, and the fish-plant + iron-mine fly-in workforce drive institutional and compound-security demand. All quotes are freight-inclusive — every metre of fence material flies or barges in. We co-load with adjacent Baffin orders (Pangnirtung, Cape Dorset) when sealift schedules align.
