CKG Group installs two elevators for TD Centre Halifax project CaDCR special feature ATLANTIC CANADA Independent and locally owned CKG Group is proud to be partnering with build- ing owner TDB Halifax Hold- ings Ltd. and EllisDon on the TD Centre Halifax project. General manager Don Knowlessays the company has always been committed to its Canadian roots, sourc- ing needed materials and controls from other Cana- dian-based companies like JRT and Global Tardif. “Being able to partner with these companies on what is the largest elevator moderniza- tion project in Nova Scotia is really significant. As a local company and an independ- ent, this is something we are very proud of.” The Halifax-based company, which also has an oper- ation in Moncton, will be installing two elevators to the new portion of the building and completing the modern- ization work to the three existing elevators. CKG also provides logistical support during construction, co-ordi- nating the movement of people and materials as the project progresses. Knowles says the company’s reputation for quality work and professionalism assisted its bid on the project. CKG works throughout Atlantic Canada. “We also have a solid business relationship with Compass Realty, the TD Centre’s property manager, as we have been main- taining their existing elevator portfolio over the past few years,” says Knowles. “We have some mechanics with more than 40 years of elevator experience, so they possess significant and unique skill sets when it comes to maintaining and serv- icing this type of equipment. These skills helped keep the existing elevators working until the time came to modernization the entire building,” he adds. Knowles says CKG Elevator is involved with a signifi- cant number of high-rise buildings in Halifax, through new construction and modernization. The TD Centre is one of the more impressive of these types of projects. “We appreciate the opportunity to be part of the team that will completely modernization one of the major buildings in the Halifax business core.” We are proud to be part of the TD Centre project. “building our future one lift at a time.” ...with the experience and know-how for any job! 1-342 Bluewater Road, Bedford, NS B4B 1J6 tel: (902) 468-6006 fax: (902) 468-5549 www.ckggroup.ca The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Spring 2013 – 45
