Demand for channel drains in Dundas (City of Hamilton) comes mostly from precision manufacturing, instrumentation and controls, food and beverage, building and construction trades, small-scale industrial machining, heritage commercial restoration. Most of it sits around Dundas industrial area off Highway 8, Hatt Street commercial corridor, Hamilton Street industrial pockets, valley-bottom older industrial lots. The area's anchors, including precision instrument and controls firms, regional food producers, specialty machine shops, construction and restoration contractors, Hamilton-overflow industrial tenants, shape the kind of work Dundas needs: load-rated, code-documented, and built for hard use.
