CONSTRUCTION ·  ON-SITE REFUELLING

On-site refuelling for southwestern Ontario construction sites.

We bring the fuel to your equipment, on the site, on the phase. Standing-route or on-call wheel-to-wheel service across Waterloo, Kitchener, Cambridge, Stratford, Guelph, London, and Woodstock — for single big sites with heavy equipment positioned for months, multi-site GCs running concurrent projects, and heavy-civil contractors whose work moves down a corridor. Every visit prints a ticket per piece of equipment, one truck dispenses clear diesel, dyed diesel, and DEF in separated compartments, and the regulated dispensing load stays on our side of the gate.

01 / WHERE IT FITS

There are four ways to put fuel on a job site.

On-site refuelling versus a rented fuel cube, cardlock for the service trucks, or a stationary tank where the work allows for one. Each one is the right answer for a different shape of operation, and the shape of yours usually tells you which to pick.

On-site is the right call

  • Six or more fuel-consuming units on the site fuelling daily — the per-piece pumping labour off a cube starts to dominate the day
  • Hard-to-move heavy equipment positioned for the phase — cranes, large excavators, articulated dumps, gensets sitting where they need to sit through the pour or the dig
  • A multi-site GC running two or more job sites at once — the truck travels with the work, you don’t need a permanent tank on every site
  • A mix of dyed off-road equipment and clear service trucks on the same site — both products on one visit through a multi-compartment truck
  • Per-equipment tickets you can roll into per-site, per-phase, or per-piece cost coding on the GC side
  • A site that runs months or longer with the heavy equipment in place — the truck cycles with the work, not the calendar

Something else fits better

  • A short-duration single-site project running portable equipment — a fuel cube refilled by bulk delivery is the lower-investment fit
  • A sub-trade with one or two pieces of equipment on the site — the labour math doesn’t justify the per-stop pricing
  • A small fleet of plated pickups and service trucks with no off-road equipment — a cardlock fuel card on SuperPass is the simpler answer
  • A site the truck can’t safely access during the fuelling window — no turning radius for a loaded tanker, no firm ground, no clear approach
  • A long-running single yard with a heavy daily burn and an operator willing to manage the compliance load — a certified stationary tank on bulk-into-tank is the cheapest per litre at that scale

02 / NEW THIS YEAR

Ontario is putting a licence on this work for the first time.

TSSA has consulted on a dedicated rule set for mobile fuelling — Appendix I to the Liquid Fuels Handling Code — together with a new annual TSSA mobile fueling licence for the trucks that dispense under it. Launch is anticipated for fall 2026. The activity itself is the same one our trucks have been doing for years; what is new is the regulatory frame written down around it. On a construction site, the setbacks are the part of the rule that lands closest — read the section below, then the article walks through the rest.

  • 01

    The proposed licence

    A dedicated Retail Mobile Fueling licence for owners of highway-tank dispensing trucks, proposed at $652 per year, three-year audit cycle, administered through the TSSA Client Portal. The licence sits on our side of the gate, not yours.

  • 02

    Equipment the truck has to carry

    Prescribed list: 80-B:C extinguisher, a specified spill kit down to the number of pads, automatic-shutoff nozzle, beacon light, hose limited to 61 m. The truck arrives kitted to the equipment list; the customer provides nothing.

  • 03

    Setbacks on a tight construction site

    Dispensing prohibited within 30 m of a watercourse, 3 m of a property line, 4.5 m of a building opening, 3 m of an ignition source. Relaxation available with operator-side controls. On a downtown infill or a site that backs onto a creek, the fill position is part of the planning conversation — we walk through it before the first visit.

  • 04

    What it does not change

    The site operator does not take on TDG, petroleum-mechanic, or site-operator obligations for the dispensing activity — those stay with the marketer. The Appendix I licence sits on top of the regulatory frame already in place under O. Reg. 217/01.

03 / HOW WE HANDLE IT

What an on-site account with us actually looks like on a job site.

You have one rep on the account year-round. The trucks roll kitted to the Appendix I equipment list. The per-equipment tickets land in your monthly statement coded for the site, the phase, or the piece. The rest, below.

  • Standing route or on-call

    Most sites settle into a cadence built around the phase, not the calendar — daily during a dig or a pour week, weekly through the slower stretches, and on-call when the work shifts faster than the route. The same dispatch line answers, day or night, for the unscheduled top-up that has to land before first shift. When the phase changes and the burn jumps, your rep adjusts the cadence in one conversation.
  • Clear, dyed, and DEF on one visit

    Our trucks carry more than one product, in separated compartments. Dyed diesel for the excavators, dozers, cranes, articulated dumps, and any other off-road equipment running the site. Clear diesel for the pickups, service trucks, and anything else carrying a plate. DEF rides in its own dedicated module for the Tier 4 equipment that needs it. One stop, every fluid, the product code printed on every ticket.
  • Per-equipment ticketing for job costing

    Every transfer prints a ticket off a Measurement Canada-stamped meter — equipment ID, product, litres, price. On the GC side, the tickets roll into per-site cost coding, per-phase cost coding, and per-piece unit cost reporting on the operations the accountant cares about. On the Ministry side, the same ticket is the record for the dyed deliveries.
  • The regulated load stays with us

    Highway-tank licensing, TDG placarding, driver training, the ERAP, the prescribed spill kit on every truck — those obligations sit on our side of the gate. The site’s share comes down to access for a loaded tanker, no ignition during the visit, and a coverable sewer within 3 m of the fill position.

04 / FOR YOUR OPERATION

Most construction on-site accounts look like one of these three.

These are the shapes of construction operation where on-site refuelling tends to be the right fit in southwestern Ontario. Yours probably resembles one of them, or sits somewhere between two.

  • GC · MULTI-SITE · HEAVY EQUIPMENT

    The multi-site GC running heavy equipment

    Two or more concurrent projects across southwestern Ontario, heavy equipment positioned at each one for the phase it’s in. The truck travels with the work, no permanent fuel infrastructure on a site that wraps in eighteen months. Per-site allocation rolls into a single monthly statement; the cost coding goes wherever your accountant runs it.

    • Equipment mix
      Dyed for off-road, clear for service trucks
    • Site footprint
      Two or more concurrent projects
    • Best when
      Heavy equipment is the bulk of the burn
  • SINGLE BIG SITE · HEAVY EQUIPMENT IN PLACE

    The single big site, heavy equipment staying put

    A major build — school, hospital, distribution centre, infrastructure project — where the heavy equipment is positioned for months at a time and fuelled where it sits. Cranes, large excavators, gensets through the temporary power, light towers staying put. The pickup truck fleet runs separately off a cardlock card; the heavy equipment is the on-site account.

      Dyed for the heavy equipment in place
    • Site footprint

    • Best when

  • ROAD-BUILDING · HEAVY-CIVIL · CORRIDOR

    The road-building or heavy-civil contractor

    A linear project that moves down the corridor — a stretch of road, a pipeline alignment, a transmission right-of-way. The equipment moves with the work week to week, and there’s no fixed site for a cube to sit on. The truck follows the work to whatever piece of the corridor is active. One supplier, one account, the per-piece tickets cost-coded against the project segment.

    • Equipment mix
      Dyed for paving, grading, compaction
    • Site footprint
      Linear, moving week to week

05 / FAQ

Practical questions.

01What does our site need to provide?
Access for a loaded tanker — turning radius, overhead clearance above 4 m, ground firm enough to hold a truck with fuel on board. A fuelling position that respects the Appendix I setbacks: 30 m from a watercourse, 3 m from a property line, 4.5 m from a building opening, 3 m from any ignition source. A sewer cover within 3 m of the fill position that can be covered for the duration of the visit. No smoking and no hot work in the exclusion zone while the driver is dispensing. On a tight urban site, the rep walks the planned fill position with the site super before the first visit; on a sprawled-out highway-civil job, the position usually picks itself.TSSA DRAFT APPENDIX I · CLAUSE I.9
02Can you run dyed into our off-road equipment and clear into our service trucks on the same visit?
Yes — that is the whole point of a multi-compartment truck. Dyed for anything off-road, clear for anything that carries a plate under the Highway Traffic Act, both products ride in separated compartments and the driver dispenses each one into the right unit. The product code prints on every ticket so the dyed deliveries are tagged for your Ministry records and the clear deliveries are tagged for the trucks they fuelled. A mixed site is exactly what this service was built for.FUEL TAX ACT S. 2(7.1) · CSA B620 MULTI-COMPARTMENT
03What happens when the phase changes and the daily burn jumps?
The cadence changes with it. A standing weekly visit can step up to mid-week and end-of-week during a pour, daily through a deep dig, on-call through a phase that runs unevenly. The conversation is with your rep, not a queue, and it usually happens once a phase — they read the schedule the same way the site super does. The dispatch line answers day or night for the unscheduled top-up that has to land before first shift.OPERATIONS
04What happens through a polar-vortex week on an exposed site?
Our regular southwestern Ontario winter blend covers a normal January, where the daily mean sits around minus twelve. Below about minus twenty-five — the kind of week that shows up every couple of years on an exposed site with nothing breaking the wind — on-site dispensing gets harder. Hoses stiffen, meters cold-soak, and the truck’s own auxiliary lines start to approach their cold limit if untreated. The way the industry handles it is to dose every load with cold-flow improver through the cold season and add an anti-gel program for any site sitting exposed through the cold snap. The exact threshold at which we reschedule a visit is something your rep walks through with you when the conditions show up.CAN/CGSB-3.517 · TYPE B WINTER DIESEL
05Who is responsible if there's a fuel spill on the site during refuelling?
Under the EPA and TDG, we are the responsible party for cleanup of a fuel spill that happens during on-site refuelling. Our driver leads the response, contains the spill with the truck’s prescribed kit, and makes the notification calls if the volume or pathway triggers them — the Spills Action Centre at 1-800-268-6060 and the TSSA Director at 877-682-8772. Your site’s part is to cooperate on site access, on cleanup if anything migrates into soil or water on the property, and on the longer-tail remediation conversation if it gets there. The full four-call framework and the EPA Part X triggers live in the article.EPA PART X · O. REG. 675/98 · TSSA APPENDIX I CLAUSE I.14
06How does on-site pricing compare to a fuel cube refilled by bulk delivery?
Bulk into a cube is the cheaper per litre delivered — one drop, no per-equipment metering, your crew’s labour to pump from the cube into the equipment, and the cube’s compliance load on your side of the gate. On-site refuelling adds the per-equipment dispensing, the per-piece tickets, and the slower transfer pace, and the per-litre price reflects that. The right comparison is rarely litre against litre. It is the total cost picture once your crew’s pumping labour, per-equipment cost-coding overhead, the cube rental, and the site’s compliance share are all on the table. Below about six pieces fuelling daily the cube usually wins; above it, on-site usually does. The rep walks through that with your actual numbers, not a brochure.KB DECISION FRAMEWORK · ON-SITE VS FUEL CUBE
