Defence Infrastructure Strategy
Purpose-built industrial infrastructure positioned within strategic defence manufacturing corridors, airport-adjacent zones, and secure production campuses.
Land Systems Corridor
London — St. Thomas, Ontario
Canada's primary land systems manufacturing corridor, centred on the London–St. Thomas region, represents the densest concentration of armoured vehicle and defence electronics production in the country. Stonewater's infrastructure strategy is anchored within this corridor to maximize supply chain integration and workforce access.
Established OEM Proximity
Direct adjacency to General Dynamics Land Systems–Canada and Tier-1 defence suppliers.
Production-Ready Sites
Cleared and zoned industrial lands with municipal pre-alignment for defence manufacturing.
Highway 401/402 Access
Strategic corridor connectivity for supply chain logistics and materials movement.
Expansion Zoning
Adjacent parcels pre-identified for phased capacity growth aligned with program scaling.
Airport Industrial Zones
Airport-adjacent industrial lands provide critical logistics advantages for defence manufacturers requiring rapid materials movement, oversized cargo handling, and export connectivity. Our strategy targets sites at facilities including Springbank Airport (Calgary) and regional airports across southwestern Ontario.
- Direct airside or taxiway-proximate positioning
- Oversized cargo and equipment movement capability
- Export logistics integration for international programs
- Secure customs pre-clearance zone potential
Secure Design Capability
Defence manufacturing requires physical security layers that standard industrial infrastructure cannot provide. Stonewater facilities are designed from the ground up with security architecture integrated into every phase.
Physical Perimeter Security
Fenced perimeter design with controlled access points, CCTV integration readiness, and visitor management zones.
Access Zoning
Multi-tier access control architecture enabling compartmentalized operations within a single facility campus.
Compartmentalized Production
Facility layouts designed to support segregated production lines, clean rooms, and restricted-access assembly areas.
ITAR/CGP Accommodation
Physical infrastructure designed to support International Traffic in Arms Regulations and Controlled Goods Program requirements.
Regarding ITAR/CGP Compliance
Stonewater designs physical infrastructure to accommodate ITAR and Controlled Goods Program requirements. Specific compliance certification is the responsibility of the occupant in coordination with relevant regulatory bodies. Our facilities provide the physical security foundation upon which compliance programs can be established.
