Extending The Cemetery and Monument Installation Season with All MonuGrid® Solutions

Winter brings challenges for many industries, and cemetery and monument installations are no exception. Traditionally, cold weather has meant halting installation work, especially when using concrete foundations, as freezing temperatures make digging impossible and pouring concrete very challenging. However, our MonuGrid® solutions offer a smart, efficient alternative that allows installation to continue, even during colder months.

Why MonuGrid Solutions are Ideal for Fall/Early Winter Installations

One of the key advantages of MonuGrid is that it doesn’t require the deep digging that concrete installations do. In regions like Canada, where frost depths can reach up to 4 feet, installation season usually ends once the ground freezes solid, making it challenging to dig or pour concrete footings. 

With MonuGrid and MonuGrid+, installation requires a shallower depth, which, given the right conditions, allows for flexible scheduling and can extend installations into early December. Unlike concrete footings that need careful planning around unpredictable winter weather, MonuGrid’s shallower installation depth allows you to adapt quickly to favourable conditions as they arise.

Depending on your location within the Snowbelt, you can continue to get ahead of monument installations well into the colder months by leveraging MonuGrid’s flexible installation capabilities, allowing you to maximize productivity before the ground fully freezes.

This innovative approach means families can still get their loved one’s memorials installed on time, without being forced to wait for the thaw in spring.

Save Time and Reduce Costs

Concrete installations are not only limited by weather but also by the time and manpower required. On average, it takes around three hours to complete a concrete monument installation. With our MonuGrid solutions, that time is reduced to just 30 minutes. This means your team can complete more projects in less time, significantly reducing labour costs while increasing productivity.

And when winter conditions reduce the availability of labour—already a challenge in the industry—using MonuGrid becomes even more beneficial. It helps you avoid the delays and inefficiencies associated with waiting on concrete trucks and coordinating with overextended crews.

Flexible Installation, Even During Mild Winter Spells

If your region experiences a mild winter spell but it’s still too cold for concrete work, MonuGrid® gives you the flexibility to take advantage of that window. You can keep moving forward with installations instead of waiting for ideal conditions.

Additionally, for those managing a tight budget, MonuGrid® can help you stretch your dollars further. Instead of pausing projects for months, you can continue to work through the colder seasons, saving both time and money in the long run.

By incorporating MonuGrid® into your winter plan, you can keep projects on track, even when the weather doesn’t cooperate. With faster installations, reduced labour costs, and the ability to work through the cold, MonuGrid® offers a practical, budget-friendly solution.
