Client: JR Simplot Company
Project: Provide mechanical services for the $120 M
construction of the Simplot Food Processing Plant in Portage La Prairie,
Manitoba.
Derksen Group Involvement:
- Derksen Mechanical Services
- BSD
- East Side Ventilation
- Tech Air
- Ekistics Mechanical Consulting
General Contractors: Stuart Olsen, Fisher and Sons, and
Simplot
Scope: The Derksen Group was contracted through project
partners to provide complete mechanical services for the new plant including
all heating and cooling equipment and well as gas, steam and process ability
piping. Total valued of this project is approx. 10$ M. Work began in April 2002
and is expected finish in June 2003.
Challenge: Provided with a later start date than was
originally anticipated, the Dersken Group has maintained an aggressive schedule
to help see the project through to fruition by the original date of expected
completion.
Results:
"The Derksen Group put in a good bid and we were impressed
with presentation of the company. They've been very open and willing
to work with us, and would recommend them to others because they
have the knowledge to do the job. As project manager, Brad Mason
has been a good, friendly and open person to work with.
- Bruce Harold, Project Manager, Simplot Canada
"With projects like these, there are a lot of
challenges and you have to deal with someone who is flexible. They weren't the
cheapest and our pick was quite personality based. They've proven they can do
the job, with a very tight schedule, fast-tracked design requirement and a
design build mentality. At the start of the job they were able to move the
rooftop units from hanging inside to being mounted at roof level, which
provided cost savings. The also put a lot of work and extra hours to get things
up and running - showing they do what it takes to get the job done and
demonstrating flexibility with respect to dealing with construction and cost
issues on site. They are good bunch of guys and easy to deal with. I would
recommend them again, especially in a factory setting.
