Jakarto is heading to **Winnipeg** for the [**2026 Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) Conference & Exhibition**!](https://www.tac-atc.ca/en/conference-meetings/annual-conference/)

We look forward to connecting with transportation professionals to discuss how 3D data can support the management and maintenance of road infrastructure.

- 📅 **Dates:** October 4–7, 2026
- 📍 **City:** Winnipeg, Manitoba
- 🏢 **Venue:** RBC Convention Centre Winnipeg, 375 York Avenue — [conference information](https://www.tacconf.ca/)

### 🏆 **This year, we have a special reason to be proud.**

The City of Québec has won TAC’s [2026 Technology Achievement Award](https://www.tac-atc.ca/en/connect-with-our-community/awards/technical-achievement/technology-achievement/) for its project *Identifying Issues Related to Frost Heave Using 3D Surveys (LiDAR)*, carried out using Jakarto’s technology.

This distinction recognizes the work of the City of Québec’s teams and a collaboration we are proud to be part of. It also reflects what drives our team: providing data that helps municipalities better understand their communities and make informed decisions.

### ❄️ **Understanding frost heave to plan more effective repairs.**

For municipal teams, addressing this recurring challenge means being able to locate pavement deformations, measure their extent, and gather the information needed to guide maintenance and rehabilitation work.

The City of Québec’s project offers a practical response to this challenge. By comparing mobile LiDAR surveys collected in winter and summer, teams can measure changes in pavement elevation and identify areas affected by frost heave.

This approach makes it possible to document entire road corridors and better target assessments and repairs. [Learn more about the project on TAC’s website.](https://www.tac-atc.ca/en/whats-happening/news/2026-technical-achievement-award-winners/)

### 🚗 **Jakarto’s technology directly supports this approach.**

Our 3D surveys provide a detailed representation of the road surface that specialists can use to compare surfaces and quantify deformation.

Developed with the City of Québec, this approach helps teams prioritize inspections and document problem areas before undertaking repairs. We explore these applications in our [article on freeze-thaw analysis](https://www.jakarto.com/en/blog/need-to-analyze-freeze-thaw-issues-now-is-the-ideal-time-to-spot-them?hsLang=en).

### 👏 **Congratulations to Dave Durand and everyone at the City of Québec involved in this project!**

This award recognizes their work, and we are delighted to have contributed to their achievement.

### 🤝 **Attending the TAC Conference? Let’s meet in Winnipeg!**

We would be happy to discuss this experience and your own challenges: monitoring seasonal pavement deformation, understanding your infrastructure, planning maintenance, and incorporating LiDAR data into your workflows.

📩 [Contact the Jakarto team](mailto:contact@jakarto.com) to schedule a conversation and discover how our solutions can support your organization’s needs.

**We look forward to seeing you in Winnipeg!**
