The Challenge
Provide reliable power and heating at a remote oil sands construction site
A major oil sands project was underway in the harsh climate of north-eastern Alberta, Canada. It was still early days and there was no permanent power supply. Yet power was clearly needed – both for the construction itself and for much-needed heating during the freezing winter. The developer was looking for a scalable power system that could adapt to the changing needs of the site; onsite support to respond to these changing needs, and rugged equipment built for the unrelenting environment. We ticked all the boxes.
