Sprint Mechanical

What Sprint Mechanical does

Sprint Mechanical Inc. is a Toronto-based mechanical construction contractor founded in 1988 that designs, fabricates, and installs mechanical systems for commercial, institutional, and industrial buildings across Ontario, Canada. The firm delivers a full mechanical scope — heating, plumbing, air conditioning, process and specialty piping, ventilation, pipefitting, welding, sheet metal, controls, underground utilities, fire protection, mechanical design, and project commissioning — through Design Build, Design Assist, and traditional plan-and-spec contracting models. Headquartered at 50 Woodbine Downs Boulevard in Toronto, the company operates an off-site pre-fabrication shop backed by in-house CAD designers and BIM modelers, enabling modular construction and concurrent field and shop work. It is a member in good standing of Local 46 (United Association of Plumbers and Steam Fitters) and achieved COR 2020 safety certification in January 2024.

The firm serves eight vertical segments — Healthcare and Long-Term Care, Educational, Government and Social Infrastructure, Laboratory and Pharmaceutical, Sports/Recreation/Entertainment, Hotel and Retail, Commercial, and Industrial — and has executed Infrastructure Ontario P2/P3 projects since completing its first P3 (CAMH Redevelopment Phase 2) in 2012. Named clients include Enwave, Scarborough General Hospital, Princess Margaret Hospital, the University of Toronto (Goldring Centre), Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, Sanofi Pasteur (Connaught Campus), and Apotex, with some institutional relationships dating back to 2004. The company also holds LEED expertise and has delivered LEED Gold, Silver, and Certified projects across multiple building types.

Sprint Mechanical generates revenue through project-based contracts (cost-plus, time and material, or lump sum), primarily obtained via competitive tender and direct relationships with general contractors, property owners, and government entities. Founded by Albert Salvatore and five partners in 1988 with four service trucks, the company was rebranded Sprint Insight in 2001, surpassed CAD 50M in revenue by 2008 and CAD 70M+ by 2012, reverted to the Sprint Mechanical name in 2015, and became solely owned by Albert Salvatore in 2014. No current revenue or funding data is disclosed.
