Clarington's Darlington Nuclear Corridor
Clarington is home to the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station, one of the largest nuclear power stations in North America and the site of an extended multi-year refurbishment program, along with Canada's first small modular reactor construction project. That scale of work has built a sustained contractor, engineering, and skilled trades economy around Bowmanville, Courtice, and Newcastle, alongside established industrial operations like the St. Marys Cement plant and the Highway 401 corridor that connects Clarington to the rest of Durham Region and the GTA. Argos Crating does not handle radioactive or hazardous materials. What we build for is the conventional equipment, tooling, and instrumentation that the surrounding contractor and engineering supply chain ships every day, crated to the same standard as any industrial job.
