Each trade has an on-site safety representative, and all-staff safety meetings, supervised by Manshield’s safety de- partment, are held on a regular basis. Manshield Construction brought more than 40 years of construction experience to its work on the McPhillips Station Casino project. Founded in 1972, the company provides general contracting, construction management, project management and design/build services to clients in the commercial, industrial, institu- tional, recreation and residential sectors. Man- shield is headquartered in Winnipeg, with offices in Edmonton, Calgary and Thunder Bay, Ontario. “Our integrated management, design and construction services mean that we are a one- stop shop for our clients,” the company says. “We know how to balance function and aes- thetic needs along with budget and schedule; we achieve this during our consultation with clients to fully understand their requirements and ensure everyone is on the same page.” The company’s past Winnipeg projects in- clude the Richardson College for the Environ- ment, a $45 million, 150,000 sq. ft. LEED Silver-certified science complex; the Radisson Hecla Resort, a $16.2 million, 90-room hotel; and the McFeetors Student Residence at the University of Winnipeg, a $12.5 million, LEED certified dormitory. Manshield Construction is part of the Man- shield Group of Companies, which also includes masonry, concrete and development units. Each company functions as an individual entity as well as in combination, depending on project re- quirements. McPhillips Station Casino is one of two casino properties controlled and operated by Manitoba Lotteries, a Manitoba provincial crown corporation. “We’re very excited to turn this building over on time to a company that is important to Man- itoba,” Baisburd says.
