ATLANTIC CANADA Suppliers contribute essential resources to TEME project's success CDCR special feature Specialist suppliers provided equipment and technical knowledge to help complete the TEME project within its budget, and on time. Multiserve Petroleum Equipment Inc. installed the bulk oil and coolant system for vehicle services. “We provided the tanks, pumping equipment and 15 stations in the building,” said Multiserve's Mike Dickie. “We also provided air supply reels for each of the guys, and, on the flip side, to handle the waste products, added “control systems in there to prevent the tanks from over- flowing.” This project was undoubtedly one of the largest for the company, but it went smoothly with EllisDon's co-op- eration and co-ordination. “The biggest challenge was co-ordinating the work and we followed the contractor's guidelines as on any given day, there could be 15 differ- ent trades trying to work around and with each other.” “Everything to this point has gone well,” he said. Meanwhile, Atlantic Compressed Air Ltd. (ACAL) worked both with general contractor EllisDon and me- chanical contractor, Atlantica Mechanical (a division of Modern Niagara Group Inc.) “On the Atlantica Mechanical side, we supplied the project with all compressed air, through our main com- pressor supplier Sullair,” said ACAL regional manager Michael Leger. We also supplied and installed products directly to EllisDon including two industrial spray booths and an industrial blast booth, manufactured by Global Finishing Solutions.” “The project needs compressed air to supply air for vehicle hoists, for pneumatic pumps for oil and other lu- bricants and greases,” he said. As well, there is need for air for the paint and blast booths and there is a need for “clean air, with oil-less compressors” for a couple of dif- ferent applications, Leger said. Systems needed to be designed and installed to meet stringent environmental requirements, he said. “We found EllisDon were very accommodating and professional and a pleasure to do business with,” he said. “They know their business and they know how to put a building together and they chose some very conscien- tious suppliers to work with them on this project.” He said Atlantica Mechanical has been equally professional “and we have built a great partnership with them as well as EllisDon on this project.” “We've been in business for 40 plus years,” Leger said. “We've built strong relationships with our customers from small shops to larger projects like this. We really put our clients first and our responsibility doesn’t end after the equipment is sold. Our responsibility is ongoing to make sure this equipment is maintained and is functioning properly for the client.” For more information about Multiserve Petroleum Services Inc. in Millford, NS, call (877) 771-7575 or email: mulitserve@multiserve.ns.ca You can learn about Atlantic Compressed Air Ltd (ACA) at http://www.atlanticcompressedair.ca or e-mail at info@atlanticcompressedair.ca The company has offices in Dartmouth, NS, Moncton, NB and St. Johns, Newfoundland and Labrador. 34 – Summer 2014 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report
