New division combines dedicated washing expertise, modular system design, and a national service footprint to help Canadian operators reduce disposal costs, recover value, and lower barriers to entry.
Frontline Machinery has launched Frontline Washing Systems, a specialized division built to help Canadian operators take control of rising excess-soil and slurry costs with practical, scalable washing solutions and local support.
The launch comes as construction, aggregates, waste, and environmental projects across Canada face mounting pressure from rising hauling costs, tightening landfill and fill capacity, and increasing compliance demands. For many operators, excess soil and slurry are no longer just a disposal issue. They are a growing cost centre that can affect margins, schedules, and long-term site economics.
While soil and slurry washing technology is proven in international markets, Canada has remained underserved. The challenge has not been whether the technology works. The challenge has been access to the specialized expertise, responsive service, and long-term support needed to make washing a practical option for Canadian operations.
Frontline Washing Systems was created to close that gap. That conviction was shaped in part by years of watching European operators adopt advanced recycling and material recovery technologies, including soil washing, long before the category gained traction in Canada.
“We realized we needed to bring this technology into Canada and make it accessible, not just to one or two companies, but to the broader market,” said Daryl Todd, President of Frontline Washing Systems. “If it is not accessible, it is not going to help solve the problem we have on our hands in Canada.”
The new division gives Canadian operators access to dedicated washing expertise backed by Frontline Machinery’s established national support network. Its focus is clear: help customers reduce dependence on disposal, recover usable material, and build a more cost-effective path forward with systems designed around real operating conditions.
Frontline Washing Systems offers modular, scalable washing solutions that lower the barrier to entry for operators looking to bring washing into their business. Rather than forcing customers into large, fixed installations from day one, Frontline Washing Systems provides a more flexible starting point with systems that can be matched to current volumes, site requirements, and recovery goals, then expanded over time as needs grow. The result is a more practical path into washing and a stronger foundation for long-term site economics.
“Our focus is on giving Canadian operators a better way forward in a market where hauling, disposal, and material handling costs are only getting harder to manage,” said Martin Anderton, Managing Director of Frontline Washing Systems. “This is not about adding another product line. It is about building a specialized capability around a category that now demands more attention, more expertise, and more support.”
Anderton previously led Frontline Machinery’s Major Projects group and now oversees Frontline Washing Systems’ project delivery, technical teams, and service strategy.
Backed by Frontline Machinery’s service footprint, Frontline Washing Systems supports customers through three Canadian locations and employees based in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec. That reach gives customers access to local, hands-on support from project planning through commissioning, service, parts, and long-term optimization.
“This market needs more than equipment availability,” Anderton added. “It needs a team that understands washing applications, understands the cost pressures customers are under, and can support these systems in the field over the long haul. That is exactly why Frontline Washing Systems exists.”
With Frontline Washing Systems, Frontline Machinery is making a clear investment in a category that is becoming more important to Canadian industry. As operators look for smarter ways to reduce waste, recover value, and improve project economics, Frontline Washing Systems is positioned to bring specialized washing support to a market that has been ready for it.
