On behalf of the Government of Al-berta, I thank Central Alberta Builder magazine for this opportunity to speak directly to you, a hard-working mem-ber of the Red Deer Construction Association.

People are the heart of every con-struction project. From private home to commercial enterprise, public in-stitutions and the roads that connect them—each project starts with the needs of the people who will live, work, learn, grow, or need treatment or ser-vices in our communities. Every project depends on the energy, strength and sweat of the planners, architects and skilled tradespeople who give form to steel and lumber, concrete and asphalt. Most of all, every venture is born of a vision of growth, development and a dy-namic future that is shared by the whole community.

Your new Alberta government is proud to support that vision with the strongest commitment to our vibrant and growing communities, to a pub-lic infrastructure that serves Albertans well, and to all the industries that drive Alberta’s economy.

In Alberta, a lot of good mortgage-paying jobs depend on a strong energy industry, and our government is work-ing to promote a stable energy econo-my. To expand our markets, we are in-terested in the potential of the Energy East and TransMountain pipelines, as well as in greater refining capacity and jobs here at home. Because environ-mental sustainability and responsible energy development go hand-in-hand, we are developing a comprehensive cli-mate change strategy.

Our government is committed to building and is working on a long-term capital plan.

Four more schools are expected to open in Red Deer by 2017; and five more schools outside of Red Deer in Sylvan Lake, Blackfalds, Hanna and Condor. Red Deer College is getting up-grades and modernization work. A new parkade is being built at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre. And more than 200 supportive living spaces will open in Red Deer in 2016, with more supportive living construction in Rocky Mountain House and Sundre.

A strong construction industry itself is a dynamic part of Alberta’s diverse economy. The same people who build our private, commercial, and public buildings also buy the homes, shop in the stores, send their children to the schools, and use the libraries and healthcare facilities.

Albertans have elected a remarkable team of women and men who are forward thinking, care deeply about our communities, and are committed to public service. Together, we will listen to Albertans. We will partner with Alberta’s job creators—including the construction industry—to grow and diversify our economy and provide access to public services. We will work hard to earn and keep your trust.

Together, we can keep Red Deer and all of Alberta working, growing and building. ✣

1. What do you see as the main priorities for the RDCA in 2015/2016?

As a board, our main priority has been to provide value to our members, and we feel that value starts with educating our next generation of professionals in our industries.

We currently offer an apprentice scholarship program to our membership companies and we are looking at extending that into technology- and engineering-related scholarships as well.

We try to offer continuing education courses throughout the year, such as blueprint reading, contract law, and project management courses.

As an association, we work in conjunction with the Alberta Construction Safety Association (ACSA) to provide safety upgrading along with anything our member companies and their workers need to provide service to their clients.

We also have a keen focus on retaining and adding to our membership. Membership is currently at 328, and that is significant because it gives us a second seat — and a second voice — with the Alberta Construction Association.

2. What are some major construction projects in Red Deer right now?

The Red Deer College expansion is a large project that was just awarded. It includes a leisure centre, arena and speed-skating track that is all tied to Red Deer hosting the 2019 Canada Winter Games.

The parkade at Red Deer Regional Hospital is underway now and the new St. Joseph’s Catholic High School project broke ground a few months ago.

A fantastic project coming to the community is the new Red Deer Arena, which is set to open fall of 2017.

3. How has Red Deer evolved over the past few years and where do you see it going?

The 2019 Canada Winter Games announcement has been the catalyst for growth in Red Deer. Many of the new projects have been larger than what we’re used to seeing here in Central Alberta — the Red Deer College expansion is in the $70-80 million range and the Sylvan Lake Arena is between $20-30 million. We don’t see those everyday – this isn’t Edmonton or Calgary.

4. How has the recent changes with the economy affected the construction industry in Central Alberta?

So far, 2015 has remained fairly consistent as a result of carry-over from 2014. The real question comes in 2016 and beyond — seeing what the Canadian dollar will do, or what oil prices will do. There are a lot of unknowns. Everyone is very cognizant of cost and overhead, but there is also a perceived value in the market right now.

Red Deer is a hub for the oil and gas service industry, and it’s very apparent that the market has slowed as far as new builds and permits issued, but there is a lot going on from an institutional point of view with school projects and infrastructure surrounding the 2019 Canada Winter Games. That will make a difference and will help Red Deer bridge any slowdown in construction. ✣

Commercial, Agricultural, and Residential concrete construction company serving Central Alberta. Extreme Concrete Inc. is a dynamic and growing concrete finishing business. We have a well-earned reputation for exceptional customer satisfaction, professionalism, and a dedication to quality.

Extreme Concrete uses Laser Placing Equipment and Ride-on Power Trowels for large projects to achieve accuracy and high tolerances.


Welcome to the 2015/2016 edition of the Central Alberta Builder. We are excited to introduce a new name for our annual publication and a new brand that we hope will be a recognized name for construction industry information in Central Alberta for many years to come. Please enjoy the expanded issue with extended editorial, interviews, member-focused profiles, new industry trends, and industry-related articles from our many partners.

As with the new look and identity of our publication, the Red Deer Construction Association (RDCA) is also continuously working on the ways we deliver our services, communicate and inform on major issues and trends affecting our local industry, and ultimately transforming the way we do business. The board and staff are committed to delivering on our strategic objectives and ensuring we continue to create value to all of our members. It is an absolute privilege and pleasure to work with our many diverse members and be part of dynamic and growing commu-nity here in Central Alberta.

In 2014/2015, we really began to see the fruition of our stra-tegic plan. Some of the highlights included:

Business opportunitiesOver the past year, COOLNet has never been busier. There

were over 3,600 projects posted to COOLNet across Alberta in 2014, and we continue to see growth in 2015. Our members alone log over 20,000 hours per year accessing plans, documents and information on various projects. It truly is the number-one source for online construction opportunities in Alberta. You may also hear us promoting another service called COOLNet

On Demand, which is a powerful tool for tendering projects and managing documents, trades lists and project invites with a private component. With the assistance of our partnership with Construction Management Data (CMD), and bringing on board our new COOLNet Alberta business development man-ager, we expect the opportunities for COOLNet Alberta in the coming years to be bigger than ever.

At the RDCA, we talk a lot about how membership equals business. This could not be more prevalent than with our di-verse membership. We are proud to represent some of the leading general contractors, finest sub-trades, and largest manufacturers and suppliers in Central Alberta. We are also pleased to have as members many local companies that are indirectly related to our industry. These include insurance, financial, legal, human resources, educational, government, hotels, automotive, safety, accounting, real estate, appraisal, equipment rental, and many more. It’s through this type of diversification that the RDCA is definitely the place to connect and do business in Central Alberta.

Safety & educationWithin the construction industry, safety is the most

important component of our day-to-day lives. At the RDCA, we host over 80 classes a year in our two fully functional classrooms. Our partnership with the Alberta Construction Safety Association helps bring COR/SECOR and NCSO-certified classes to our local member companies, which helps to keep them abreast with the most up-to-date training and latest in safety regulation. Our staff is active with the Parkland Regional Safety Committee, helping promote events, such as the Steps for Life program, and many activities during NAOSH week. These have included working with local schools creating awareness through mock accident exercises, as well as hosting additional fall-protection training courses.

Over the past year, we have been very proud of our partnership that we have created with our local schools. With

the help of the Alberta Construction Association, we hosted a workshop that brought together industry and educational representatives to build a foundation in promoting and bringing construction education into the schools for the future. Since this event, our member companies have stepped up to the plate presenting try-a-trade to three high schools within Red Deer. In 2015, we hope to expand on this, as well as develop opportunities for teachers/instructors to utilize professional development on construction sites.

We also recognize the importance of education among our member companies. In early 2015, we introduced in partnership with the Canadian Construction Institute, our construction series courses, which included project planning and cost control, construction law, and estimating. We will be expanding on this and bringing in more classes for 2016. All of these courses carry Gold Seal accreditation.

AdvocacyOn behalf of our members, we are committed to being

the voice of the commercial construction industry here in Central Alberta. Our Government Action (Local) committee has made strides over the past year working even closer with our local government, as well as meeting and strengthening our relationships with the outlying municipalities. We are proud of the connections that we have made with many of the

communities across our region and discussing local issues and trends as they pertain to construction.

We continue to work on processes such as permitting, in-spections, procurement, and tendering processes, to name a few. With the introduction of our new provincial government, we have also begun communication with our local MLAs, en-suring construction is top of mind when decisions are being made affecting our region.

Customer service & marketingThere have been transitions within our office over the past

year, and with that, a new way we do business at the RDCA. It has been exciting working alongside the energy and enthu-siasm of our office administrator, Isabell Sewell, as we trans-form our processes. We have expanded many of our existing services, including our new e-newsletter, annual publication, classroom rental, affinity partners and programs, and blue-print and scanning services, to name a few. Our staple events including our annual golf classic, member BBQ, and Christ-mas breakfast also have expanded to include additional op-portunities for sponsorship and company promotion.

I want to say thank you to our membership and their continued support and all the best to everyone in 2016. ✣

For 11 years, the RDCA has been honoured to present scholarship awards to local apprentices. Our association is encouraged over the increased number of applicants each year and the quality of the applications continues to mirror the high standards our industry strives towards. The intent of the scholarship process is to recognize excellence and encourage participants to complete their apprenticeship training programs. There is no better long-term investment in the future education and growth of our apprentices within our industry. The application process opens each year in May and closes in August.

This year we had 27 entries submitted with 20 individuals being awarded scholarships to help towards their ongoing schooling. The scholarship committee of the RDCA awarded three $1,000 awards and 17 $500 awards based on the applications received for 2015. Since its inception in 2004, the RDCA has awarded a total of 129 scholarships spanning

a wide range of various trades totalling over $69,000. Out of these 20 winners, we had representation from eight different trades (electrical, refrigeration & air conditioning, carpentry, sheet metal, plumbing, heavy equipment technician, parts technician and welding), with all attending one of four schools: Red Deer College, Olds College, NAIT or SAIT.

The scholarship awards would not exist without the strong dedication from the members of the Red Deer Construction Association. We raise funds for these awards through various social events, including our annual golf classic, annual BBQ, and annual Christmas breakfast, as well as donations.

In late 2014, the Red Deer Construction Association (RDCA) restructured our committees with one focus specifically related to education. We felt the importance for sustainability within our industry was to make a strong commitment and presence in our local school systems and promotion of the construction industry. On November 27th, the RDCA hosted a regional roundtable at Red Deer College. The event was attended by over 50 people, including representatives from industry, education, and industry partners. The overall session was positive as it brought groups together to discuss challenges and possibilities for the future.

As an extension of the roundtable event, we have worked with the high schools in Red Deer, bringing our member companies in for try-a-trade presentations. The presentations have been extremely well received from both the students and teachers, and we look to grow our work in 2015 and 2016 to include outlying schools across Central Alberta.

The Red Deer Construction Association’s Annual Golf Classic was held on June 12, 2015, and was sold out with 172 golfers enjoying a fun, but maybe a bit wet day on the course. The tournament was held at the Alberta Springs Golf Resort, just west of Red Deer, and has been a flagship event for the

RDCA for many years. Thank you to all of the participants and the sponsors who contributed over $4,500 that was used to award our local apprentices with our annual scholarships. Thank you also goes out to the many volunteers that continue to make this such a successful event.

The RDCA annual general meeting took place at the Radisson Hotel and Convention Centre on February 26, 2015. This event is a great opportunity to receive an overview of what the association has been working on over the past year. Some of the highlights included the association’s work with our local high schools – ensuring the construction industry and specifically educating students on careers in the trades, awarding $8,500

in scholarships to local apprentices, completing renovations at the RDCA office with assistance from the Alberta Construction Safety Association to add an additional class space, as well as realigning our committee structures to better serve the needs of the members and completing. We again like to thank our sponsors for the event and to Ken Gibson from the Alberta Construction Association.

Every spring, the RDCA teams up with the Alberta Construction Safety Association and the Parkland Regional Safety Committee to volunteer at the annual Career Expo. The event wel-comes over 3,500 students from over 50 schools across Central Alberta that get to experience many diverse indus-tries over one full day. The RDCA and

the Parkland Regional Safety Commit-teepresent a distracted driving test for the students. The expo includes many construction-related and try-a-trade opportunities. During the same day, Skills Canada holds their annual skills competition that features local students competing in many areas, including electrical and carpentry.

The first week of May each year is marked as NAOSH Week (North American Occupational Safety and Health Week). The intent of NAOSH is to focus on spreading the message about the importance of safety and health in the community. The RDCA has been a proud participant in partnership with the Alberta Construction Safety Association and the Parkland Regional Safety Committee in the many events

Congratulations on the ninth edition of Central Alberta Builder magazine. I appreciate the Red Deer Construction Association’s contributions to the con-struction industry and look forward to collaborating with your membership as we move forward on infrastructure proj-ects that are important to Albertans.

Premier Notley believes investment in public infrastructure is foundational to the success of Alberta’s families and communities. She has made it clear that investing in priority infrastructure is not only the smart thing to do, but it is the right thing to do.

As your government, we are working hard to develop a capital plan that meets the needs of a growing Alberta. Our priorities include building and modernizing schools, investing in the

facilities needed to ensure Albertans have access to proper health care, and taking action on the most pressing deferred maintenance needs.

Today there are about 200 new or modernization school projects expected to be completed over the next few years, and 25 health facility projects in construction or planning and design.

We are also moving forward with several important transportation initiatives, including improvements to rural and urban transit networks, and investments in roads and highways across Alberta. We are strongly committed to providing a safe and modern transportation network that supports economic growth across the province.

With these and numerous other

projects underway throughout the province, it is crucial that we focus our efforts on delivering needed infrastructure, while ensuring the best deal for Albertans.

As we look to the future, we will continue to work closely with the Red Deer Construction Association, as well as members from other trades and sectors. Together we can find ways to better deliver projects in the most efficient way.

A new chapter is beginning in the story of our great province and Alberta Infrastructure is dedicated to working with and listening to you so that we can all build on what we have today for a strong, caring and prosperous Alberta tomorrow. ✣

Neal Dary- Operations Manager


It is a privilege to extend greetings to the Red Deer Construction Association on behalf of Red Deer City Council, the City of Red Deer, and the 100,807 citizens we serve. The construction industry is an essential driver in Red Deer’s local economy as it is one of our largest employment sectors, expecting to add another 1,200 jobs by 2021. Every member of the Red Deer Construction Association plays an integral role in shaping and defining our city of today, as well as the city we are becoming.

As we all know, Red Deer reached an important milestone this year when our population surpassed 100,000. This historic occasion gives us an opportunity to capitalize on the momentum it presents us with and fulfill Red Deer’s potential as Alberta’s emerging city.

In 2014, city council unanimously adopted a new strategic direction, which identifies three foundational and transformational areas of focus. Council’s work plan is grounded in our commitment to dialogue with the community, demonstrate financial leadership, and plan for a community of spaces and places that position Red Deer as Alberta’s choice city.

One way the city is supporting growth is by investing in public infrastructure to instill private sector confidence. Emphasis on renewing the Riverlands redevelopment area will provide a new identity for Red Deer’s downtown. Also, with Red Deer’s successful bid to host the 2019 Canada Winter Games, there are a number of game-changing projects on the horizon for Red Deer, which strongly position us all for our shared prosperous future.

Among all the infrastructure projects and programming the games will secure for our community, the Centre for Health, Wellness and

Sport is a catalyst for growth in and of itself by securing Red Deer College’s programming expansion in an area that is authentic to Red Deer’s health and sport DNA, with the strategic benefit of building programming capacity in the existing building footprint of our college.

This programming expansion, and our ensuing polytechnic university status, will mean that people will choose Red Deer as their community of choice for post-secondary education, but also that born and raised Red Deerians will choose to stay here when making their education and career choices.

Another important priority of the city is continued investment in its core infrastructure, such as municipal roads and sanitary systems, as well as ensuring industrial, commercial, and residential land availabilities. These infrastructure projects ensure we can meet the demand of the new and expanding business and resident population, which helps to diversify

Message froMtHe mayor of reD Deer tara veer


and strengthen our local economy. After all, creating a city that attracts labour force is critical to future growth and community life in Red Deer.

Recognizing that Red Deer needs to be competitive for growth and to solidify our “Red Deer Advantage”, council approved an operational audit commencing in 2015 with the intent to review the city’s building and development processes, with the scope of the operational audit being: inspections & licensing, engineering, and the planning department. The timing for pursuing an overview of these critical areas is right for a few compelling reasons. If we intend to distinguish and position ourselves as Alberta’s choice city for new business, new population, and new opportunities, then our city policy and operations must mature to not only meet the existing needs of our citizens and stakeholders, but to build the right foundation for their needs in the imminent future, as well as to solidify Red Deer’s competitive positioning within our region. There are factors beyond the city’s direct control, which make for favourable climates for growth and development in other communities; however, ensuring that we are competitive by streamlining bureaucratic processes is one lever that we can exercise to ensure Red Deer is business and development friendly.

As a final highlight, and one that will be of critical interest to most of you, is council’s decision to adopt in principle future servicing directions to accommodate and facilitate growth. In my view, this decision will be one of the most important decisions of the 2013-2017 council, as it will ultimately determine where and when Red Deer will be growing within the next decade. Subject to capital budget approval, the established council direction is to service simultaneously in the northeast and to the North of 11A as demand requires.

A final and critical aspect of council’s 2015 work plan is our advocacy to the provincial government for strategic infrastructure needed to move our community forward. Our consistent message to the provincial government has been “when you build Red Deer, you build Alberta”.

As a final note, thank you to the membership of the Red Deer Construction Association on behalf of council, the city and our citizens,

for the many contributions you all con-tinue to make throughout our commu-nity. Red Deerians are indebted to you for your efforts in ensuring a thriving local economy and community life, es-pecially in uncertain economic times, and for your strong role in ensuring that Red Deer’s potential is fulfilled.

Wishing you a safe and productive year. ✣

It has been another successful year for construction in Red Deer County. Despite the turbulent economy, Red Deer County remains a major source of job creation and long-term business growth.

Our building permits remain an encouraging sign of activity within

Red Deer County. Our business parks continue to grow – you have no doubt seen the activity in Gasoline Alley and our other parks.

Our road construction continues to progress in line with our five- and 10-year plans. This is essential for getting goods and services throughout the county. Bridge construction has seen a great deal of activity as we look to keep our infrastructure sound.

Our recent budget indicates a stable environment for businesses and ratepayers. The county remains an

attractive place to invest for both large and small businesses. This investment will surely result in good news for the construction industry, as more people recognize the strategic advantages this region presents.

I would like to thank the RDCA for its hard work and dedication. Without your members, none of the growth would be possible. We are fortunate to have a large pool of talented companies on our doorstep. I wish you the best in the coming year. ✣

A comprehensive operations retreat confirmed the ACA’s priorities remain focused on government advocacy, develop-ment, and promotion of industry standard practices, and pro-motion of a skilled workforce. The ACA’s priorities for 2015 are:

1. Maintaining adequate and predictable levels of public investment in the face of declining oil prices.

The ACA continues to advocate the provincial government to develop a long-term capital project and deferred mainte-nance spending program/budget. As Alberta’s largest pur-chaser of construction services, the province influences the market price for construction services by adding or postpon-ing (cancelling) projects in a market that is currently operating near capacity. Conversely, the development of projects during slow economic times resulting from a change in oil prices or other economic influences, allows the construction industry to maintain their skilled workforce. A consistent number of skilled workers delivering construction services is critical.

The ACA conveyed these recommendations in letters to the premier and cabinet; in a meeting with the Minister of In-frastructure and Transportation Brian Mason; in a follow-up meeting with David Dodge, who has been retained by the gov-ernment to advise them on long-term capital planning; and to Wildrose opposition critics.

2. Working with Alberta infrastructure and other own-ers to ensure they remain preferred clients. Specific initia-tives include modernizing procurement practices, adop-

tion of industry standard documents, and minimizing delays in payment.

Fair procurement practices that recognize the public de-mand for “best value” should be supported by Alberta Infra-structure. In addition to fair procurement, the government should adopt the use of CCDC standard documents, which clearly outline important commercial terms, such as prompt payment terms and acceptable amounts of liability. Alberta Infrastructure will be considered a preferred client if they adopt a position of familiarity and fairness with current con-struction industry practices.

A team of volunteer ACA contractors have held a series of meetings with Alberta Infrastructure to review AI’s proposed CCDC 2 with supplementary conditions. This work is continuing in fall 2015 as both the ACA and Infrastructure discuss a number of issues.

In responding to the prompt pay issue, ACA’s board passed the following motions:

1. The ACA initiate collaborative industry dialogue to develop a voluntary industry solution (voluntary code of practice) to demonstrate willingness to lead even before legislation is developed.

2. The ACA advocate a legislative solution to remedy the issue of late payments that are not in compliance with the payment provisions of the construction contract, using CCDC contract language. Further, that the ACA seek a solution that a) accommodates payment provisions in alternate financing con

tracts, and b) reduces the potential for harming contractor’s reputations in securing repeat business from owners.

The ACA has formed a new committee with representation from a number of owner, consultant, and contractor groups to assist in progressing on these motions. The initial focus is to establish a best practice which can be used to help owners, general contractors, and subcontractors meet prompt payment needs for all.

3. Advocating for balanced and reasonable safety and WCB policies and enforcement, with a specific focus on silica exposure and on interpretations of refusal of modified work.

The ACA is advocating with OHS to revisit the Occupational Exposure Limit to silica dust. The ACA is partnering with a number of associations to urge that the no-fault principle em-ployed by the WCB not apply to post-incident terminations for cause.

The ACA has completed a draft silica management practice and is approaching the Alberta Construction Safety Association to develop training courses followed by job site testing to determine whether best practices are effective and economically feasible. The ACA also met with Job, Skills, Training and Labour Minister Sigurdson to express concerns that the current Occupational Exposure Limit for silica of .025 is not supported by medical evidence and that testing at the .025 level may not be scientifically reliable.

4. Strengthening relationships with Alberta’s education system to develop our future workforce.

Clearly, the federal and provincial government, the public, and the construction industry would prefer to hire Canadian workers with the necessary skills to perform the tasks required to deliver a project. To support the long-term growth of a skilled construction workforce, we must partner with Alber-ta’s educational system to promote an interest in the construc-tion industry. Our industry must be seen as a positive career choice to influence youth to consider a career in construction.

The ACA, the Red Deer Construction Association, and Merit Contractors are partnering to offer a pilot program through which educators can receive shortterm job shadowing with members. Raising awareness of construction career opportunities will assist educators in providing guidance to students about their options.

5. Continued rollout, adoption, and maintenance of the trade definitions.

The use of trade definitions provide clarity to all construc-tion project stakeholders, which in turn reduces confusion, er-rors, disputes, and litigation. They help to ensure the bids are complete, consistent, and compliant.

The ACA is drawing on the leadership of the Edmonton Construction Association to develop a new promotional strategy for adoption of Trade Definitions. A mobiledevice friendly website tradedefinitions.com, supported by video testimonials and print advertising in trade journals will launch in fall 2015 to explain the benefits of adopting trade definitions. ✣

The issue of “quality of documents” is often cited as a major concern and particularly the impact that poor quality documents can have on the industry’s productivity. A 2010 article by Revay and Associates, entitled The Pitfalls of Incomplete Contract Documents (see bit.ly/revayreport) explored the issue in detail, including various best practices for consultants, contractors, and owners. In 2014, the Canadian Construction Association’s (CCA) Industry Summit identified the issue once again. The summit brought together industry and association representatives from across Canada to discuss major issues keeping members awake at night. One of the themes was business practices, and in it, the issue of quality of documents was ranked highest (see bit.ly/indsummit2014). With this in mind, the CCA is undertaking a series of workshops with partner associations to explore the issue further, with representatives and participants from the owner, consultant, and contractor communities. To date, this quality of document workshops have been held in several cities throughout the country, with more workshops being planned for this fall.

Workshop format includes panel and roundtable discussions

The format of the workshop includes a panel discussion representing the various groups in attendance. Each panellist discusses the issue from their sector perspective, how it

impacts their role in the construction process, as well as what they see as possible causes and solutions. Following the panel discussion, participants at the workshop participate in roundtable discussions. Each roundtable includes different representatives from the various stakeholders in attendance, and participants are encouraged to discuss the issue with a number of pre-established questions. Each table also discusses hot-button issues related to the topic, as well as what they see as the primary causes for incomplete/poor quality documents, as well as possible solutions.

update expected for the 2016 annual conferenceThe workshops held so far have established a good baseline

of information to work with, while demonstrating the format as an effective means to discuss the topic. The CCA is looking forward to engaging with other partner associations and member firms throughout the remainder of the year. The help of partner associations is critical as the CCA explores this important issue. Local and regional perspectives are pivotal to the national discussion, while helping the CCA provide a comprehensive and national strategy moving forward.

Once the workshops are complete, the anticipation is that by March of 2016, the CCA will have gathered enough information from across Canada to provide an update at the CCA annual conference, and help determine next steps to address this important issue. ✣

Education remains a cornerstone of the Gold Seal Certification program, and is one of the many reasons it is the most highly respected certification program in the Canadian construction industry.

The construction industry in Canada is constantly evolving as new technologies and practices help to create efficiencies across the country. Because of this evolution, the importance of ongo-ing education and professional development is essential for the competitiveness of firms, organizations, and individuals who are actively involved in the management of construction.

To address this, the Gold Seal Certification program places extreme emphasis on education for those individuals seeking certification. Gold Seal Certification requires that candidates meet a minimum of 25 education/training credits in order to be eligible to challenge the examination.

There are several ways to achieve these credits, including ac-credited courses available at many post-secondary institutions, private institutions, and associations such as the Red Deer Con-struction Association. Basing their course offerings on the Gold Seal National Curriculum Standard, which contains 11 subject areas deemed essential to construction management, these in-stitutions have had their construction management courses/seminars/workshops accredited by the Gold Seal Certification program. To date, there are more than 1,000 Gold Seal accred-ited courses/seminars/workshops available across Canada.

At the same time, the Gold Seal Certification program ex-amines all construction management education as it relates to achieving the educational component of an application. The Gold Seal Certification program recognizes that the diversity of the construction industry provides for many different avenues to pursue higher education.

Education is made easier with the launch of the Canada Job Grant Program. Since education is a cornerstone of the Gold Seal Certification Program, employers are urged to take advantage of the new Canada Job Grant Program. The goal of the program is to increase labour force participation and to help develop the skills

necessary to find and keep meaningful and long-term employ-ment, and to encourage employer involvement in training to en-sure that skills are aligned to job opportunities.

To find out more about Gold Seal Certification, accredita-tion, or to view the list of accredited course providers and their course offerings, visit the Gold Seal Certification website (www.goldsealcertification.com). The National Curriculum Standard is also available for download.

You can also contact your local construction association (find listings here: goldsealcertification.com/contact-us/partner-associations/) to find out more about their course offerings, or other local opportunities for construction man-agement education. ✣

Where The Work Is

COOLNet Alberta is the leading provider of project tender opportunities for the

commercial construction industry.

coolnetalberta.com

COOLNet Alberta Partners


COOlnet – Construction Opportunities On-line network

One of many services offered by the Red Deer Construction Association (RDCA) is the physical plansroom, where estimators can gather to work with paper documents and plans in preparation for bidding on projects. In partnership with seven other provincial construction associations, the RDCA is ensuring further access to opportunities, information and bidding tools through COOLNet, the online plansroom technology developed by Infinite Source specifically for the construction industry.

Through COOLNet, construction association members use their computers to view projects in any region of Alberta with a simple login and password. From there, they can browse and search projects, keep updated on those of interest, and receive notification of new opportunities– an annual average of over 2,000 projects.

It’s easy to keep track of projects with 24/7 access to construction tender documents such as plans, specifications, addenda, bidders lists, and results. Members can view, copy, print or order prints of all documents, including plans, while marking-up and making notes is simple and convenient. The COOLNet filing system tracks all documents related to each project inside the secure and private accounts. As well, the software allows viewing bid values of all bidders, including the awarded company.

Integrated directly into COOLNet is the software program, OnDemand, designed for general contractors to manage the bidding process and keep documents under control. It is available to RDCA members through an inexpensive subscription-based system.

Using software that looks like established paper-based products, general contractors can invite trades to review or bid on a private project. Only those invited can access the information with secure and safe online document delivery.

OnDemand manages specialized workflow modules, such as the Bid Process Manager. Contractors create and broadcast invitation lists, track responses, and receive online bid submissions. Detailed record keeping, reminders and contact information are a click of a button away, streamlining a complex and sometimes overwhelming process.

The Submittal Process Manager organizes the management, review, and tracking of construction project submittals, reducing time and costs associated with handling the large volume of documents related to a construction project.

Shop drawings are managed efficiently and smoothly online with reviews, digital stamping, and notifications sent out to all participants in the project. Information and documents are shared through fax and email, keeping managers, trades, suppliers and consultants involved and on the same page.

Online Bidding with Scan 247Scan 247 (as in 24/7) is the newest

online bidding technology now offered through COOLNet. Steve Sulpher, vice-president of Infinite Source explains, “Buyers of construction, typically public owners, use Scan 247 to put out bids and get prices from contractors directly online. They publish their projects into COOLNet, making it the main portal for all activities.” As a result, vendors and contractors see even more opportunities with automated notification of new projects and addenda. Consultants and owners can customize their bid forms, maintain an integrated question and answer board, and view bid responses in various formats.

“When a public buyer publishes a project into COOLNet, that activates a button for contractors to submit a bid

using the secure online bid submission process,” says Sulpher. They can download, review, or print the bid from the cloud. There is even the ability for approved e-bonding. Absolute privacy, with the option to withdraw, is maintained until tender closing time. Contractors are assured of submitting bids on time and to the right place, while buyers receiving online bids eliminate the normal closing time paper chaos.

Architects, consultants, and owners have access to members of the RDCA,

and those members can expand their contact base, know the competition, and see more bid opportunities. It’s a win-win situation.

Over the years, the process of calling for and submitting tenders has evolved into a need for ever more complex forms and processes. Through COOLNet, the RDCA is offering its members powerful tools to build more efficiency and opportunity into their businesses on every level in the construction industry. ✣

Partnering with you for all your forklift and construction needs...


Creating partnerships to further education opportunities for students is the spirit behind the College of Alberta School Superintendents’ (CASS) new handbook, Inspiring Partnerships: Ensuring Student Success through Business and Industry Education Partnerships.

Released in July 2014, the 129-page handbook, developed in tandem with the Alberta Construction Association (ACA), emphasizes the value of creating, developing and building sustainable and collaborative partnerships between school jurisdictions and business/industry that will enhance

the educational continuum while, simultaneously, meeting labour market needs.

“Partnering with the ACA just made absolute magic happen. It’s just astonishing to see what is happening, so we created a handbook,” says Debbie Vance, provincial dual-credit strategy coordinator for the college, of the handbook’s origin.

An added perk, the online document also contains customizable templates for schools interested in pursuing partnerships of this nature.

“If you have it all at your fingertips, it’s quite easy to do,” adds Vance. “This is exactly what teachers want; they want that framework as a step-off point. It’s a support tool for our dual-credit strategy.”

Working with post-secondary has always been top of mind for business and industry, but as Vance shares, the

focus has shifted in recent years to en-compass secondary schools—and for a good reason.

“There’s over 40,000 occupations, but you sit down with kids and they can only name 10,” Vance explains. “Industry needs to work with these students so that they can understand the wealth of opportunity.”

Alberta’s Inspiring Education vi-sion—that the province’s education system prepares every student to be an ethical citizen and an engaged thinker, embracing life-long learning with an entrepreneurial spirit—is one that all Albertans, individuals, communities, and industry can embrace and support, according to ACA executive director Ken Gibson.

“In a skills-short world in which Ca-nadians increasingly experience ‘jobs without people and people without jobs’, greater emphasis on career-fo-cused education is essential,” Gibson says. “We encourage industry and Al-berta’s school districts and schools to use Inspiring Partnerships as the tool for successful engagement and partnership.”

Roundtables supporting the hand-book have been held around the prov-ince, starting with the Red Deer Con-struction Association in November 2014 (see page 19 for more details) and the Grande Prairie Construction Asso-ciation in March 2015. Sessions allow

for video or phone conference call-ins. Of the first two sessions, Vance con-firms that participant feedback has been excellent.

Gibson adds, “ACA and CASS wel-come continued dialogue to expand

and inspire partners in education, in-dustry, community and government to help enrich the learning experiences of students and the prosperity of the Province of Alberta.”

Next on the agenda for CASS is dia-logue regarding school partnership coordinator roles within Alberta’s schools.

“There’s room for it,” Vance assures. “We realize today that the world be-comes a new classroom— that’s the future.” ✣

As of October 2016, it will be mandatory to register LEED certification projects with the new LEED rating system (LEEDv4), the next step toward higher standards of building performance. All projects currently registered for LEED Canada 2009 or Version 1 for Commercial Interiors can upgrade to the new system at no cost.

“LEEDv4 is an international rating system,” explains Tanya Doran, executive director for the Alberta Chapter of the Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC). “We no longer have our own LEED Canada, but instead this new version includes a Canadian Alternative Compliance Path (ACP). Other countries will have their own ACPs, addressing things like regional building codes that are specific to each country.”

For example, the Canadian ACP may have different energy performance requirements, and reference standards more familiar to Canadians. Doran states that there is not a significant amount of criteria in the Canadian ACP, as LEEDv4 aims for one international rating system as much as possible.

Launched in November 2013, LEEDv4 addresses 26 different market sectors that are more project specific than the previous five, all available to Canadian projects. Doran continues, “For example, we now have LEED for Schools, LEED for Healthcare. These new rating systems focus on building types with additional considerations to be taken into account.”

Technical updates cover things like materials, evaluating from new angles, such as Life Cycle Assessment. There is greater emphasis on performance, with new issues like acoustics being addressed.

“This version looks at a new level of material selection, thinking about what goes into buildings in terms of materials before they are in situ.” Doran explains how incremental changes are upping the environmental ante. “On a project, less than 50 per cent waste diversion is no longer acceptable. Now we are going to need 50 to 75 per cent and multiple material streams. We are always pushing the envelope a little bit more.”

“There are currently 798 LEED-registered projects in Alberta,” says Doran. “In 2014, Alberta certified more square feet per capita than any other jurisdiction in North America except for Illinois. The Alberta construction industry can take well-deserved pride in how its members are implementing the program.”

Doran uses the new Berry Architecture office building in Red Deer, the first privately owned building in the city to achieve LEED Gold, as an example of how LEED certification is changing the landscape. “It was a two-storey 1950s

building, an old bowling alley that became an environmentally sustainable office.”

Susanne Widdecke, partner at Berry Architecture recalls, “We were working on the paperwork for Silver accreditation after completion, but when we audited our energy consump-tion, it was so low-saving, 42 per cent more than the average office building–we gained enough credits to achieve Gold.”

Another Alberta project that is pushing the LEED envelope is the Mosaic Centre in Edmonton, targeting LEED Platinum and Living Building Certification. The project came in four months ahead of schedule and under budget. Doran attributes that success to the contractors being fully integrated in the LEED certification process, citing that contractors have a 50 per cent impact on achieving the necessary credits.

Web-based reference guides and a print version of LEEDv4 are available through the CaGBC website (www.cagbc.org), as well as education on the LEED system and the green building industry.

Understanding LEEDv4 and how to work with it is essential in the construction industry today.

“A couple of times a year we hold our Preliminary Educa-tion LEED Green Association Accreditation course, the first step toward LEED accreditation as a professional,” says Doran.

Construction industry professionals interested in learning more about LEED can go to the CaGBC website and take the free Canadian ACP webinar on demand or register for a num-ber of other online webinars, online classes, and in-person workshops.

LEED has transformed the market, and the Alberta con-struction industry has moved to the front as its members work towards achieving LEED accreditation in a diversity of proj-ects across the province. ✣

new leeD ratinG system uP anD runninGBy Deb Smith


In 2015, Red Deer’s population officially surpassed the 100,000 mark with the most significant growth reported in the new subdivisions of Timberlands and Vanier Woods. As Red Deer grows, the construction industry is instrumental in helping to define the style and flow of the city. With this in mind, the City of Red Deer is planning for future growth in a number of ways. Through strategic planning and careful consideration, the City is identifying future areas for growth, designating commercial areas, and introducing new lot options and housing styles.

Before a shovel hits the ground, the City has already been planning for years. The area we know as East Hill was first conceived in the East Hill Concept Plan in 1977. At that time it covered 17 quarter sections (an area of 1,100 hectares), with only four quarter sections located within Red Deer city limits. The plan took shape between 1985 and 2012 with newly annexed lands, incorporating service and transportation additions, schools and commercial areas, while meeting environmental requirements.

Today, the East Hill community exemplifies efficient land use, sustainable environments, improved walkability, and links residents to commercial sites, green spaces, natural areas, parks and schools through a comprehensive trail system.

Red Deer’s newest communities now offer a variety of lot styles to homeowners, including wide shallow, park-facing and carriage home lots. Wide shallow lots are as the name suggests: Wider in width and shallower in depth than traditional lots. By bringing the home closer to the street, these lots allow for more attractive home design possibilities, including shorter hallways, spacious living areas, larger porches and front entrances, and more usable backyard space. Park-facing lots allow for homes with front entryways facing a green space, with garage access from an enhanced rear lane. Imagine watching your children play in the park from your front porch. Lastly, the new R1C lot type allows homeowners

to build their traditional primary residence with attached garage in the front portion of the lot, but also build a carriage home in the back, facing the rear lane. Carriage homes are a self-contained secondary dwelling unit located above a rear detached garage. A small yard separates the two units, making it a perfect space for college students, snow-birding seniors, or as a rental space providing income for the homeowner.

A crucial factor in improving walkability is to ensure residents are within a reasonable distance from commercial spaces. Red Deerians have expressed the desire to have the ability to grab a few groceries, meet up to dine with friends, or go shopping without having to start the car. Exemplary commercial nodes are being designed in our newest communities, including Clearview Market and the planned centre in Timberlands North. Another exciting housing style in Red Deer is the mixed-use and live-work commercial and residential combinations. Live-work spaces offer a housing unit that is connected to the workspace at street level below, but still maintain enough separation to ensure privacy. These spaces are perfect for professionals that desire urban living, and a short commute to work. The commercial space can be used for office, retail, health, or commercial services.

All of these new and exciting changes are steering Red Deer’s growth in a direction that builds a distinct relationship between residents and public spaces, attractive community-building spaces, and convenient retail services.

Canadian courts are kept busy because of mistakes construction companies make when submitting bids. While this makes lawyers rich, it is bad for the industry. So what can construction professionals do to minimize the probability of ending up in court as a result of a dispute about tendering?

The most important thing to do is to understand the basics of Canadian tendering law. Contracts are created during tendering which place certain obligations on owners, general contractors, and subcontractors. Construction professionals need to understand the terms of these contracts.

Outside of Québec, two distinctly different contracts arise when a construction tender is issued. These contracts are usually called “Contract A” and “Contract B”. Contract B is the contract to carry out the project. However, there is another contract, Contract A, which establishes the rights

and obligations of the owner and bidders in the tendering process. Specifically, Contract A obliges the owner to specify the rules that apply when the owner awards the construction contract. Any company that submits a bid that complies with terms of the tender can sue if the owner does not select the “right” bid. Furthermore, owners cannot try to negotiate a lower price with the winning bidder.

Contract A also obliges the winning bidder to enter a construction contract with the owners under the terms and conditions of the tender documents and for the price specified in the bid. If the winning bidder fails to do so, the owner can sue the winning bidder for any increased construction costs.

So how do we find out what rules the owner will use to select the winning bid? The rules are defined in the tendering documents. In a stipulated price tender (e.g., “CCDC 2”), the terms of both

Contract A and Contract B are set out in Division 00 and Division 01. Too often, contractors and subcontractors do not bother to carefully review these sections, assuming that they understand what the rules are. However, owners can modify the terms of standard-form contracts like the CCDC 2 by means of “supplementary conditions”. You can be sure that supplementary conditions strongly favour the owner’s interests.

Many assume that the owner is obliged to select the low bid. This is not the case. Owners can include what is called a “privilege clause” in the tender documents that gives them the right to not select the low bid. A privilege clause are words such as “The lowest or any tender shall not necessarily be accepted”. One typical use of a privilege clause is a “buy local” preference used on some government projects. The government agency might award a local company the contract if it is no more than (say) five per cent more than the low bid.

If a privilege clause is included, the owner must explicitly state in the tender documents what additional criteria will be used to select the winning bid. If an owner uses undisclosed criteria or fails to apply the stated criteria, then bidders have a contractual right to sue for damages.

The legal rights bidders have under Contract A only apply to those companies that fully comply with the terms of the tender. Companies that don’t fully comply with the tender do not have any legal rights if the owner does not select the right bid.

Does the owner have the right to select a non-compliant bid? Some tender documents include a provision that the owner can select a non-

tHe abcs of tenDerinGwhaT every ConTraCTor should knowBy Ian Montgomery


compliant bid. Courts have not clearly decided if this is permissible under Canadian tendering law. Until they do, construction companies should be very wary of any tender which purports to allow the owner to select a non-compliant bid.

If the owner does not award the construction contract to the right bidder, that bidder can sue for lost profits. What about subcontractors? Can they sue for lost profits too?

The short answer is “no”. Subcontractors generally do not have any contractual link to the owner. As a result, they are not “privy” to Contract A, and cannot sue for breach of that contract. Subcontractors who lost business when the owner breached the terms of Contract A have sued owners for lost profits under tort law. Unfortunately for subcontractors, the courts have ruled against them.

So what steps should contractors and subcontractors take to protect their interests when responding to tenders? First, read Divisions 00 and 01. Understand the rules which the owner has defined for the project.

Secondly, ensure your bid complies with terms of the tender in every aspect. This ensures that you will gain rights under Contract A.

Look for a privilege clause and any other criteria that the owner specifies for selecting the winning bid. Ensure your bid addresses any additional criteria.

Evaluate the business risks before spending significant time and money preparing a bid. Any provision that allows the owner to select a non-compliant bid should be a red flag. Re-evaluate the business risks before finalizing and submitting your bid.

Finally, review the bid evaluation results to ensure that the owner complied with the terms of Contract A.

What is the Parkland Regional Safety Committee?

The PRSC is a sub-committee of the Alberta Construction Safety As-sociation (ACSA). It is one of eight regional committees under the ACSA, and it focuses on Central Alberta — Red Deer and all the areas in between Calgary and Edmonton.

The PRSC promotes health and safety in the construction industry and we represent a wide spectrum of the industry, including contractors,

homebuilders, industrial construc-tion, and private business.

We have a number of member com-panies on the committee, as well as community members. One of our community members is a teacher from Notre Dame High School. He is not a member of the ACSA, but he works with the Building Opportuni-ties program, which partners high school students with Laebon Homes to build houses — from breaking ground to securing drywall. The stu-

dents benefit from the training and they get school credit.

What are the current initiatives of the PRSC?

We are working to expand available training resources. We want to provide material and resources so companies can hold training sessions or safety meetings for their crews.

Last year we produced a brief fall awareness video, which we have up-loaded to the ACSA YouTube page,

it’s free, and all you need is an Internet connection.

If a company holds a toolbox meet-ing on site before work, they can show a short awareness clip about potential safety issues and hazards, discuss it, and then start their workday.

What are some major issues in work safety right now?

There is a need for more awareness and training on fall protection and haz-ard assessment.

Fall protection needs to be a focus because statistically that is where a lot of injuries happen. And, any company that can add a good hazard assessment program into its daily operations — on all levels of work — has much greater odds of accident prevention. Together, these form the backbone of the safety program.

Generally, we are trying to improve and support the vital aspects of a com-pany’s safety program.

What are some benefits of joining the committee?

This is a valuable network to have access to. It’s a free resource for safety education and support.

It’s not a big volunteer commitment — we meet four times a year — and the benefit is fantastic because of the net-working and the vast resources avail-able to you.

Plans for the future?We would like to expand our commit-

tee. The population of Red Deer is over 100,000, and the construction industry in Central Alberta is growing. We think by adding new members with new ideas and perspectives to our already valuable team will only increase our momentum.

In September 2014 when the City of Red Deer won the bid to be the host of the next Canada Winter Games in 2019, Red Deer College (RDC) was also committing to take its part in one of the largest multi-sport events in Canada.

More than 3,600 athletes from across Canada will compete in 19 sports, 1,800 per week, some of whom will play out on the RDC campus in a state-of-the-art facility designed and built by the Alberta construction industry.

The two-storey Health, Wellness and Sports Complex will encompass over 18,000 square metres (193,500 square feet) of sports, learning and fitness space that will be used long after the Winter Games not only by the students of the college, but by the entire community of Red Deer, Central Alberta, and beyond.

“It has been a Design/Build competitive process where three teams were selected,” says Doug Sharp, director of facilities at the college. “RDC put together a functional program with technical requirements, that along with the RDC

Master Plan, were provided to the three teams who, in turn, generated a design proposal complete with pricing. A rigorous evaluation process was undertaken to assess each of the three submissions. Our final selection was Scott Builders and Clark Builders in joint venture as the contractors, and the architects and engineers of Stantec Inc. as the design component of the team.”

He continues, “Right now we’re in the design development stage. The concept has been set and we’re working through that next layer of design that is more detailed, more fine-tuning.”

The building will encompass five key areas:

The Arena This area is designed to ultimately accommodate two ice

rinks, but for now the college plans to move forward with the one that will be able to shape-shift into either Olympic or NHL-size requirements. The seating capacity for this ice rink will be 1,100 spectators.

“As part of the Winter Games, we’re hosting the short-track speed-skating event,” says Sharp. “That requires an Olympic-size ice rink, which is 15-feet wider than the usual NHL standard size, although the same length. In the design, one side of the rink can be expanded or reduced to the appropriate measurements. Seating will be in a U-shape, with the open end of the “U” on the side that changes. The ice plant will be sized to accommodate two ice facilities.”

The gymnasiaTwo gyms side-by-side will fulfill the sports needs of

everyday activity. “When there is a sports event, such as competitive basketball

or a volleyball game, the full-size gym is designed so the 1,200 seats come out from the wall to create an intimate spectator experience on all four sides of the court,” says Sharp.

Included in the gymnasia area, as in the arena area, will be team change rooms and spaces for coaches and officials.

The Fitness Centre Although the centre will be on the second floor, the access

control point, as well as change rooms related to the fitness centre will be on the main floor. Users will change and use the secured stair and elevator specific to the fitness centre. Upstairs, along with extensive fitness equipment, will be two tracks – a 200-metre three-lane track and a 100-metre straight running track. As well, the area features four squash courts that will host the Canada Winter Games squash events.

kinesiology and Education This area includes learning space related to many different

RDC programs.“There will be classrooms, meeting rooms, an anatomy lab, a

physical movement studio, as well as a sports performance lab

in the learning space. Athletic therapy will also be available, including the potential for future massage therapy.”

Sports AdministrationHockey Alberta has its provincial offices in Red Deer and

will be housed in the new centre.

general SpaceThis area includes a large spine, called the “great hall”, that

organizes all the spaces and gives access to spectator seating areas.

“The entire spectator seating will be what we call ‘top-loaded’ to take people up to the top floor and down into seating for the arenas and the gymnasia. This will separate the spectators from the participant level.”

There will be a main food concession on the first floor, as well as food services related to spectator events on the upper level. Public washrooms, janitorial, mechanical space and retail space fall into the general space area.

“We aim to have the building fully operational eight months ahead of the Canada Winter Games in February 2019,” says Sharp. “So that means substantial completion by May 2018 and full occupancy by August 2018.”

The design-build team of Clark, Scott Builders, and Stantec has been working on finalizing the design since it won the competition for the project in July 2015.

With a proposed project cost of about $88 million, the new facility will soon be a welcome feature on the Red Deer College campus, a lasting legacy for the community. ✣

If you have visited Calgary, chances are you know Peters’ Drive-In. Those who live near the establishment rave about it, and those who pass by have to stop in. Deemed as iconic, Peters’ is known as “the drive-in you can’t drive by”. The small business is famous for its burgers and shakes, even holding a record for serving 4,000 milkshakes in one day.

The doors have been open since 1962, and 53 years later another set of doors have opened.

“It has been around since the ‘60s and everyone drives from everywhere to go there. If you haven’t been to Peters’ in Calgary then you haven’t been in Calgary,” said Chuck Roberts, president of Premier Building Solutions (PBS).

Peters’ approached Premier to be the project managers on their first-ever expansion building in Red Deer. The timeline was “very quick” according to Stephen Hayden, one of Peters’ owners. The land was purchased last summer, construction began in October of 2014, and the grand opening took place in mid-May of this year.

“We were terrified with such a short construction period we were going to miss something and not be able to open,” Hayden said. “Despite our fears, the project ran as anticipated and we ended up being able to be open on time. PBS did a first-class job and we’d recommend them to anyone.”

Hayden explained the reasoning behind opening a second location.

“We simply thought there would be reasonable demand on Gasoline Alley given how busy the Calgary location has been. Peters’ Drive-In hadn’t expanded in more than 50 years and we figured it was time we did so.”

Some must-have elements for the project were for the location to look as a replica of the original building. Hayden explained they wanted the building to have a single drive-through and an eat-in section, an aspect the Calgary location doesn’t have. Roberts said his company’s mandate was, although the building would be new, for the structure to reflect the ‘60s era. That is why the exterior of the building has signage and windows that encompass the entire establishment. And, as for the brick exterior, Roberts came across a challenge, as the original brick was no longer available. As a solution, new brick was purchased and then painted to look like the original building.

“Product selection was something that we worked together with the architect on to find inexpensive, but retro-looking products,” said Roberts.

“Using modern materials to make it look like something from the 1960s.”

There are also new elements. Daren Blair, architect and lead designer with Berry Architecture, explained they improved upon elements from the Calgary establishment. He explained the design attempted to have a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor dining areas. This was done with a large overhang on the southeast side of the building that also provides shelter to those dining outside. For the kitchen, Berry studied Calgary’s restaurant flows to consider for the Red Deer design. As a result, improvements were made with how food goes into the building, as well as how it is delivered to customers.

“There were some efficiencies that were found there in terms of what was designed and what was built,” said Blair.

Since opening, the Red Deer location has lived up to its expectation. Blair said throughout the summer Peters’ has been very busy.

“Categorically I have never been involved with a project with this kind of hype around it. There was a lot of hype and excitement around Peters’ opening in Red Deer. It was a fun project to be involved in,” said Roberts. ✣

The new roundabout soon to be located at 67 Street and 30 Avenue will be the largest one yet for the city of Red Deer – offering two lanes for traffic with the potential for future expansion.

“It’s been a few years in planning,” states Wayne Gustafson, engineering services manager, City of Red Deer. “There have been a number of intersectional options reviewed and evaluated before determining that the roundabout was the best option to move traffic in this area.”

According to Gustafson, some 25,000 vehicles currently travel the intersection per day.

“We’re expecting increased growth in the area,” he says. “There is a new high

school going in and there is some land development slated for the near future. The area is one of significant growth for the city and we’re expecting much more of a traffic load in the coming years.”

Circular circumstancesResearch on roundabouts has shown

that they can accommodate higher traffic volumes over traditional traffic-signal intersections. They are also reported to improve traffic flow, with fewer delays, and to call for slower speeds, which results in a lower risk of serious vehicle collision. Statistics show that roundabouts can result in up to 80 per cent fewer injury and fatal accidents than their traditional counterparts.

“We officially began work on this project about two years ago,” says Gustafson. “We needed to purchase the land and relocate the utilities in the area. Work commenced last year with shallow utility relocation and heavy equipment for road, and deep utilities were brought onsite this summer to begin the physical work of service extensions and roundabout construction. We expect to be finished next summer before the new school term begins.”

Work taking place in 2015 includes the installation of the underground utilities, roadway construction and construction of the roundabout itself. The south, north and east legs of

the roundabout are expected to be completed by the end of this year’s construction season. This would enable traffic to flow north, east and south through the roundabout. Work on the last leg – and the tie-ins with 30 Avenue and 67 Street – will begin next spring.

The entire project has a budget of $45 million, with the roundabout itself representing about $25 million.

“We have a few, smaller one-lane neighbourhood roundabouts in the city,” states Gustafson. “This is the largest one we have yet. It’s a double-lane version with provision for expansion, which will probably occur for the 188,000 population mark.”

Overriding responsibilityPidherney’s Inc. is general contractor

on the project. The company has a long and successful history of working with the city.

“This is being touted as the largest municipal roundabout in Alberta at this time,” states Charles MacDonald, civil operations manager, Pidherney’s. “It ties into a busy arterial road and a provincial highway.”

MacDonald anticipates that there will be upwards of four crews working on the project simultaneously, doing either earthworks, underground utilities, paving or electrical subtrades (for the traffic and street lights).

“There will probably be a peak workforce of between 40 and 50 workers,” he adds.

The project is not without some challenges.

“We have to co-ordinate the work around a high-pressure gas line,” says MacDonald. “There is also the tight deadline of getting the roundabout operational before the start of the 2016 year’s school season. There is the public expectation around the detour that has to be put into place and then there is the integration of the traffic flow in 2016. A lot of people are concerned about whether there be a need to educate the

drivers on how to use a roundabout, es-pecially one of this size.”

Full speed aheadWith construction on the new round-

about already well underway, there is no doubt that residents will see some big changes in the near future.

“The roundabout will make a real

difference for the city,” concludes MacDonald. “It’s going to open up the whole northeast corner of Red Deer for future residential development. When the roundabout is complete, it will pro-vide access to two new school sites, an electrical substation and over 300 new residential lots on three separate land parcels.” ✣

Across the Great Canadian Prairies, perhaps nothing says Canadiana better than the small-town hockey and curling rinks. One could imagine, then, that loosing access to these town treasures would have a significant impact.

The picturesque community of Sylvan Lake, Alberta, was presented with such a scenario in 2013 when its busiest hockey rink collapsed after a heavy snowfall. Add to that, in 2014, the town’s curling rink was demolished. In the end though, all this would offer Sylvan Lake residents a reason to celebrate.

Construction on the town’s multiplex redevelopment project, NexSource Centre, commenced in spring 2015 to much anticipation. The $33.55-million project is expected to reach completion by late 2016 or early 2017, and when completed, will service residents of Sylvan Lake and area.

The new 89,000-square-foot facility will house a new hockey rink, at 30,000 square feet, and a five-sheet curling rink, at 20,000 square feet. It will also boast a total 4,000 square feet of multipurpose and banquet facility space, as well as a 4,000-square-foot seniors’ centre,

and a 10,000-square-foot three-lane running/walking track, in addition to supplementary areas for child and youth activities.

To date, the NexSource Centre is the largest development project in the history of Sylvan Lake, and as one might imagine, a project of this magnitude is not without its challenges.

“We’ve got the existing aquatic centre on the west [side of the property] and the existing hockey rink on the east, so we have to tie the new building into both of those without interrupting services,” explains Andrew Clews,

WHY UTILIZE A CHARRETTE?

At HDR | CEI we have worked hard to ensure that each time we work with a civic client, the design expression is one that captures the essence of that community. A signature look that expresses the brand of a particular architect or popular architectural style is common, but HDR | CEI sees a more powerful architectural resonance in creating designs that capture the imagination of a community and express their unique vision.

WHAT SETS US APART

Our charrette is a productive environment where real progress is achieved and a computer model of the project concept is generated. This approach allows our clients to experience and review the initial concept, and provide their feedback.

Con� icting ideas or lengthy “wish-lists” are common challenges that arise when multiple stakeholders are invested in a project’s design, and they need to be carefully managed to ensure inclusivity is not discouraged. Our project team leaders help distinguish between “must-have needs” and “nice-to-have desires”, in order to keep a project on-track and on-budget.

We also understand that for many individuals, articulating needs and values can be di� cult. HDR | CEI’s team members are formally trained in communication and facilitation techniques and come equipped with technical skills, combined with years of experience, empowering us to ask the right questions to generate answers. This helps us design facilities that are more e� cient, functional, and meet all program requirements.

www.hdrcei.comHDR Architecture Associates, Inc. has initiated a registration process whereby CEI Architecture Planning Interiors will become an integrated part of a single entity AIBC Certi� cate of Practice holder to be known as HDR | CEI Architecture Associates, Inc. using an abbreviated brand identi� cation of HDR | CEI.

The e� ectiveness of HDR | CEI’s design charrette comes from our ability to fully engage key stakeholders. The results are community buildings that embody our clients’ aspirations because they played a critical role in shaping them.

CEI Architecture Planning Interiors in collaboration with HDR Architecture Associates, Inc.

HDR | CEI’s Innovative Design Charrette

HDR | CEI’s design charrette was not only extremely useful, but enjoyable. Getting all stakeholders, Council, and sta� in the same room to lay out everyone’s wishes for the project helped us to understand the magnitude of the project, and the range of viewpoints that had to be considered. Getting all groups in agreement of the � nal concept might not have been possible without their design charrette.

While the new complex is not earmarked for a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification, it will incorporate many sustainable products and systems. One such example is Thermenex, an HVAC system engineered for energy conversation and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

“The Thermenex system will utilize the exhaust heat from other equipment in the building and use that to heat the building,” says Clews.

The facility’s new running/walking track will utilize standard rubber track flooring, while the children’s area will feature PlayTiles with poured-in-place urethane. The seniors’ and multipurpose rooms will feature wood-grained, vinyl plank flooring, while the remainder of the first floor will feature a combination of rubber flooring, vinyl flooring, and porcelain tile.

The community of Sylvan Lake

has created a website dedicated to the multiplex redevelopment project (www.sylvanlake.ca/projects), which includes preliminary facility renderings and project information. In addition, the website offers opportunities for residents to donate to the facility,

through means such as the Buy-a-Seat program for bleachers in the arena. A sponsorship page where the naming rights to the hockey arena, the curling rinks and the aquatic centre were, at time of press, still up for grabs, is also readily available. ✣

Construction in its essence is building for the future. The play on words are taken to another level with the building of St. Joseph High School in Red Deer.

Notre Dame High School is Red Deer Catholic School Division’s (RDCRS) only traditional high school in Red Deer. It has a current enrollment of 1,640 students, and with a projected increase in student population, a new building is “desperately needed”, according to Ken Jaeger, supervisor of support services with RDCRS.

The new $37 million high school will add 900 enrollment spots. The

building is designed for expansion to accommodate up to 1,200 students in the future. Planning for the project started in December of last year, and construction started in June. Currently, the piling is completed and the concrete foundations are being worked on. The anticipated opening for St. Joseph High School is September 2017.

“We anticipate that the school will open with approximately 650 students,” Jaeger said.

Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) is being used for St. Joseph. Jason Towers, operations manager for Red Deer with

Chandos Construction, said it is a different way of looking at construction procurement and uses a different contract model.

“It wasn’t just your standard put in a price and go,” said Towers. “This was a proposal-based RFP that was put out by the Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools and Alberta Infrastructure. What it allowed us to do was put in a team prior to, put together some of the major subtrades, and look at being collaborative in that way.”

“Traditional jobs often felt like you were in a poker game, with everyone holding their cards tight to their chest. At times, contractors were not always on the same team or had different visions of the project,” explained Jaeger. “With the IPD process, all team members know what the vision, goals and objective of the project are. It is a very transparent process.

IPD uses LEAN construction practices that reduce waste and create efficiencies, Jaeger added. An example of such is the minimal amount of hard-copy drawings being used for this project. Towers said instead of using paper drawings, they are using BIM. Meaning the vast majority of the project is being built straight out of a 3D model, which is generated from a computer program.

“That is something that is extremely unique about this process,” said Towers,

adding he thinks BIM will also speed up the construction process.

Another highlight of the project is the 2,100-square-metre field house. The RDCRS has partnered with the Red Deer Royals Marching Band, who will use the space on evenings and weekends. Jaeger said community groups and organizations will also be able to use the space.

“In addition to the field house, a partnership with the City of Red Deer has been established that will see two additional change rooms and a referee room constructed to allow access for the adjacent competitive soccer pitches,” explained Jaeger.

The field house is made of precast concrete walls. This not only helps speed up the construction process, but during the winter months the mechanical and electrical contractors can use the space. Towers said this will minimize the amount of materials and equipment moved to and from the site. Other efficiencies include a garage the team has built to use as an office and meeting space instead of renting a jobsite trailer. After the building is complete, the area will remain a part of the school, being used for storage by the Red Deer Royals, the school, as well as the city, Jaeger said.

One challenge so far was the abandoned gas wells that needed to be cleaned more extensively then originally planned.

“Traditionally we would have just looked at adding a structural slab, increasing costs,” Jaeger said. “Instead, the team redesigned the footprint of the building and evaluated single, two-storey and three-storey options before settling on the most economical design that still met the program requirements of the school. This was all completed within a three-week period, so minimal impact on schedule.”

To-date about five per cent of St. Joseph High School is complete. Towers said the project is “just getting rolling”, with the “lion’s share of everything yet to go”. ✣

More living options are on the way for seniors in Red Deer. Construction began on Points West Living, a supportive living facility, a year ago. Now, they’re looking forward to opening day.

The $30-million project will open up 139 beds for seniors in the Red Deer area. Of those, 114 will be for supportive living. The spaces will also offer a mix of living options, tailored to the needs of the client, up to and including dementia care. The other 25 beds will be for independent seniors.

Chuck Roberts, the general contractor with Premier Building Solutions, says so far, the focus of the construction has been about teamwork. Everyone from the contractors to the consultants and ownership meet together bi-weekly to ensure they are communicating effectively.

“Working at height and being intentional about worker safety is always front and centre. We also vet the subtrades carefully before awarding the contracts to make sure they have both the ability and manpower to produce quality work in a safe and timely manner,” said Roberts.

The facility has been designed as a light-gauge structural-steel building. So

a major portion of the construction is fabricated simultaneously with the foun-dation off site. Roberts said he’s seen more of this non-combustible type of project recently.

“While this is not a new type of con-struction, it has become more popular as a cost-effective option recently. The panels are pre-fabricated and pre-loaded in an on-site manufacturing facility. This saves time and transportation costs,” he said.

The Government of Alberta contributed funds to the project through the Affordable Supportive Living Initiative. 114 of the beds will be contracted through Alberta Health Services. The goal is to have a facility where seniors can age in place. That means the designers and contractors have worked to come up with living spaces that meet health needs, without feeling like a hospital.

Instead of an entirely shared facility, designers have arranged for one-bedroom and studio self-contained units to circle around a shared space. It allows seniors to have their own spaces and independence, including living rooms, kitchens, and laundry facilities. They can even keep pets on site.

“The cottage-style areas, each with their own common areas, make the resident feel more at home in a care facility,” said Roberts. “Everyone from independent seniors to those requiring assistance can call Points West Living Red Deer home. As the residents age they are able to receive the care they require without moving to another location.”

The teams have included touches to make the facility more inviting for seniors and their families, including a daycare, computer and business area, wellness centre, and restaurant-style dining. They’ve also worked to incorporate walking trails through the facility, to have everything be as accessible as possible.

The construction team has been working hard to stick to the schedule. They have finished the majority of the pre-fabricated exterior panels, and are moving them into place on site.

“The project goal was to have the exterior sealed and ready for the winter season. We are on schedule to have this milestone complete by October,” said Roberts.

Points West Living Red Deer is expected to accept its first residents in early 2016. ✣

Merit Contractors Association takes its commitment to developing Alber-ta’s construction workforce seriously. We believe investments in tomorrow’s workforce will ensure our industries’ success. Over the years, we have shown our support by contributing to the Register Apprentice Program (RAP) awards, providing an award to every Alberta high school for their top career and technology studies (CTS) student, and developing our tuition refund pro-gram for apprentices. The combined total for these three programs makes Merit the second-largest trades schol-arship program in Alberta, behind only the provincial government. We are proud to announce we are expanding our commitment this year by funding Merit Educational Initiative Grants.

Over the course of this year, we have met with Alberta high schools about the issues they face in offering trades education to their students. Af-ter identifying where help was needed, we asked several schools to submit proposals for programs they wanted to save, expand, or create that would assist their students in understanding the trades and career options in the industry.

For the 2015-16 school year, we se-lected seven exceptional programs from a total of 13 partners across the province. They were chosen based on their excel-lent proposals to Merit and their track record for success. We are pleased to an-nounce one of those programs is a part-nership with the Red Deer Construction Association (RDCA).

This program is a pilot project that involves giving teachers and counsel-lors the opportunity to take two pro-fessional development days to learn more about the trades. Selected teach-

ers and counsellors will spend two days with local RDCA members who have volunteered to provide a learning experience, including on-site exposure to their offices and field operations. In collaboration with Red Deer area schools, the goal of the program is to provide a better understanding of the industry so that they can speak favour-ably and knowledgeably to interested students.

Merit understands that teachers and

counsellors’ influence during a stu-dent’s career decision-making years is crucial to that student’s future. We hope this program will provide educa-tors with more of the information they need to encourage students to consid-er a career in the trades.

For more information on this proj-ect and how your company can get involved, contact Matt Trodden at [email protected], or Gary Gies at [email protected]. ✣

The current Red Deer Arena has been a member of the community since it was built in 1952. The facility was upgraded in 1978 and again in 1995. But time has taken its toll.

“The engineering assessments done over the years have shown that the facility is at the end of its life cycle,” explains Deb Comfort, neighbourhood facilities and sport supervisor, City of Red Deer. “The floor is also nearing its end.”

As such, replacing the entire facility with a new one has been determined to be the most cost-effective path forward.

“We made the recommendation to council last summer and received the approved capital funding to move forward in November,” says Comfort, who adds that the budget for the new facility (including resurfacing of the parking lot that serves the Red Deer Arena, Kinex Arena, Parks Amenities Shop, Pidherney Centre and Skate Park) is $21 million.

Building anewThe new facility is anticipated to have

a similar footprint as its predecessor – which has a seating capacity of around 1,400 – but will make better use of space and design.

“Depending on the design synergies and how we can maximize space and operational efficiencies in the building,” says Comfort.

This goal will soon be captured in the potential designs themselves, as the due

date for proposals from architectural consulting firms was July 31, 2015.

“We hope to make a decision soon after,” says Comfort. “We’d like to get the design started in early fall and have it completed by the end of 2015/early 2016 so we can go out to tender on the trades.”

The decommissioning and demolition of the existing arena is expected to occur after the next ice season, which should be around April 2016.

“We hope to open the new facility in

the fall of 2018, if not sooner,” states Comfort, who adds that the new arena is a key facility for the 2019 Canada Winter Games being hosted in Red Deer, which necessitates construction of the new facility to be completed in the fall of 2018.

According to Comfort, the response to the initial tender has been very strong.

“We held an optional site meeting in July as part of the tender process and it was very well attended,” she says. “There seems to be a lot of interest.”

Old friendAlthough the anticipation of a

brand-new facility has generated a lot of excitement and enthusiasm in the community, it has also stirred up a lot of memories. The existing Red Deer Arena has become a landmark, iconic building.

“There is a lot of history in that building,” says Comfort. “We know it has historical and emotional ties to the community and we are going to try to commemorate the role the facility has played in the community. We’re planning to hold a special closing event and we are also looking at opportunities to honour it in other ways, like maybe having the new facility incorporate some materials from the old building.”

Comfort also speaks of the public art aspect of the project.

“One per cent of the actual construction cost of the building will go into public art,” she explains. “Hopefully this will present us with another opportunity to incorporate some imaging and memories of the old facility.”

Regardless of how the new facility will honour the old, one can be rest assured that it will become a testament to the people and community it serves. And, with a 30-plus-year life expectancy, it will afford many opportunities for the residents of Red Deer to create new memories and special moments – enough to last for many decades yet to come. ✣

Located in the Queens Business Park sits an 80,000-square-foot giant, whose shell alone weighs over 2.4 million pounds. That’s what you get when you install 180 pre-cast concrete wall panels, supported by a sturdy steel structural system to create what will be the future home of Glover International Trucks.

It is perfectly situated on 8.4 acres of land and stares you down with its masculine grey and orange paint tones, clean architectural lines, and smooth surface that comes from pre-cast concrete.

It has been an impressive project that Scott Builders was pleased to undertake.

“It is always great working with a

client [Brad Glover, president and CEO of Glover International Trucks] who has such a clear vision of what they want,” remarked Brent Remyn, project manager with Scott Builders. The winning combination of Glover’s vision and Scott Builders’ in-house design team has created both a functional and aesthetic facility.

With a 12-month building schedule, Scott Builders broke ground in November 2014. Now anyone in construction knows the challenges that come with building during the winter if you are not already in the ground. Well, as luck would have it, Mother Nature cooperated and the cut/sill was ready in no time and foundation followed.

A new challenge presented itself early in the New Year, something that rarely happens in Alberta: an early spring. Remember the 180 pre-cast concrete wall panels that needed to be delivered? Pretty tricky for low-boy trailers on soft ground with no yard structure down. This could have been a real setback. A collaborative solution came in the form of 200 access mats that allowed the wall system to be delivered. They were back on track.

A structure of this size demands the focus and attention of many parties. The machine needs to be greased to keep it running smoothly. Scheduling of trades can affect the building timeline greatly.

“Clear expectations need to be set at the beginning of any project,” stated David Loades, site superintendent. “This creates an environment of respect. I respect what the trades do and they respect my accountability to the client.”

Fast-forward six months and the final stages of construction are being completed a month ahead of time. The success of this project truly comes down to collaboration – teamwork. Even when challenges occur, it’s the team that creates the solution. It’s the team that keeps it on schedule. It’s the team that builds with exceptional quality and efficiency.

“The relationship we have with Glover International Trucks is one we hope will continue for years to come. A partnership like this is built entirely on trust and respect,” commented Hans te Stroete, VP of business development at Scott Builders.

One thing is for sure, this pre-cast giant will not only serve Glover International for years to come, its sheer enormity will have a lasting impression in Queens Business Park. ✣

Most of us over the age of 18 have heard it at some point – VZZZZZZZZZ! The whine of the dental drill revving up just before going to work on our favourite molar. It’s at that moment when we inevitably think “why didn’t I just brush for a full two minutes twice a day like I was told to when I was here last year?” Of course we know the reasons why. We had other priorities. We thought we could make up for it by doing a really good job brushing the next day. Maybe we thought ‘it’s not really necessary – those dentists are just in cahoots with the toothbrush manufacturers.’ And

besides, we’ve been brushing for 30 seconds each time for the last 20 years and nothing bad has happened.

In my business of construction litiga-tion, the equivalent of the dental drill whine is the phrase “Court is in session – all rise” (disclaimer: this is purely an illustrative analogy and I make no as-sertion that our court clerks’ voices are ever “whiny”). The floss, brush-es, and mouthwash are the contract documents.

It’s in litigation that all of the things done or not done on a construction project come home to roost. In my

experience, more than anything else construction litigation arises from one of two things: 1) Failure to enter into a written contract confirming the essen-tial elements of the deal; and, more of-ten, 2) When contracts are written, fail-ure to follow the change procedures set out in them. Writing down what you’re going to do and updating what’s writ-ten down when things change are the tooth-brushing of construction work. There’s nothing exciting or glamour-ous about them. Nobody enjoys doing them. They often seem to get in the way of, or at least delay seemingly more im-

portant things like moving dirt, pour-ing concrete, getting the bills out, and ordering that travertine tile that the owner just has to have. They can also save you a lot of headaches, time, and money later.

The Canadian construction industry is fortunate to have access to the standard documents drafted and revised from time to time by the Canadian Construction Documents Committee (CCDC). Those documents, which can be used in a wide range of situations and construction models, are carefully crafted to address the many issues that can arise on a project. They’re also designed to provide a fair allocation of risks. However, if you don’t use those documents properly you may find yourself on the sharp end of a clause or two, such as “6.1.2 The DesignBuilder shall not perform a change in the Work without a Change Order or a Change Directive…” Don’t think for a second that an owner who seemed to care only about getting that upgraded tile installed at the time won’t turn around and use this type of clause against you when it comes time to pay, particularly if the price is significantly higher than the owner had contemplated and if there are other strains on the business relationship.

Diligent use of contract documents and timely and accurate use of Change Orders and Change Directives before the change work is done is preventative

medicine that may well keep you from having to visit me or another friendly neighbourhood construction litigator later. I can’t tell you how many clients tell me “yes, I know – we’ll be better about documenting the work in the fu-ture”. Yet I’m not shifting my practice to the glamourous world of tax law just yet (probably for the same reason that den-tists don’t hesitate to hand you tooth-

a new challenge presented Itself early In the new year, somethIng that rarely happens In alberta: an early sprIng.


On May 16, 1990, with a 1968 Chevy step-side and a couple of boxes of tools, Weaner’s Plumbing & Heating Ltd. was formed.

Being an Alberta-born boy, at that time I was in Hay River, NWT managing a company for Accurate Mechanical of St. Albert, Alberta. I had worked for them for a number of years gaining valuable training doing mechanical rooms with the welder, doing job take offs, and ordering materials. I had done commercial projects for them since the age of 23 and they had always encouraged learning the extra, not just being an installer, which was a confidence boost to start my own company.

When I was thinking of this move, a couple of businessmen had mentioned to me that they thought I could do the work, but the choice of company name might have to go to be successful. By the way, Weaner was a nickname of mine since I was a very young boy and has stuck with both my business for 25 years, and for me, let’s just say a bit longer.

I had instant success as there were many commercial projects and not that many experienced in doing them. I got involved on the Hay River Dene Reserve just as they were building a lot of projects and had a great working relationship with them. There was also a lot of travel in the southern part of the NWT, which has a road system to several towns.

I stayed in Hay River for six years, and then when the NWT was splitting into the NWT and Nunavut, most of the Government of the NWT jobs for tender were being put on hold. That fact, along with some personal reasons, were the deciding factors that led to my decision to move the company south, back to Alberta.

There are a lot of great memories

and I met a lot of good people up there. One of these memories with working “up north”, as they say, was having to rent a helicopter to transport a fusion machine to a job site with no summer road access. Although all the material went in on a winter road to do the job, the following summer we drove 200 miles, took a river boat up the Mackenzie River to get materials and food to last for a week or so. On this adventure, we actually had boat problems and had to float back to the town we had left to get repairs.

I moved the company to a busy central Alberta town named Didsbury. Being busy times did not mean an easy time getting business. It was just like starting a new business, making and establishing contacts. The bank also thought the same and clawed back my line of credit, further hampering progress. But again, with a lot of hard work and hardships, it started to pay off again.

Today we work with a great group of general contractors, with many jobs

and years now in our relationship. We have done projects throughout central Alberta, NWT, and Saskatchewan working with some great sub-contractors and engineers doing design builds. I have always been hands on, and for the most part, have kept a small crew who has good work ethics and workmanship. This was a fact that I learned early on in my apprenticeship. I had worked with a seasoned German man named Eric, and an equally good Italian fellow named John who both taught me the importance of being a good tradesman and doing the best job possible. This has gone on through me to all the guys that have apprenticed through us, and is a company policy to do the best job possible.

I firmly believe to give back and share the knowledge. Weaner’s has been active in the RAP Program giving young people a taste of the trade. To date, we have had several stay with the trade and receive their ticket. Even though they did not stay with Weaner’s, the fact that they have their

ticket and are still in the trade is a success to the industry.

There have been many changes over the years in the industry with the Internet and vast advancements in equipment. It is both a lot of work and exciting to stay in the pace. We keep our staff up to date with all the industry advances, utilizing on-site and factory training.

Looking back at the last 25 years, I have met some great industry people and have had quite a few adventures, mostly good and some not so much, that I think is the lure to stay doing what I am doing in the construction industry.

Would I change anything? I think not. Every day brings a new adventure, and that’s the beauty of the whole thing. ✣

As Wel-Can Welding & Fabrication Ltd. enters into its 40th year of business in Red Deer, it is a time to reflect, as well as look forward.

Since their start in an 8,000-square-foot shop, to their present 25,000-square-foot shop in the Chiles industrial area, the management and staff have seen many changes in both the community and fabrication industry. What has remained constant is the commitment to providing a quality product, on time and on budget, which owner Barry Simpson believes is the foundation to Wel-Can’s success and longevity. Simpson and his partner

Peter Leyen believe this foundation is a result of their staff, which presently has a combined 233 years of welding and fabrication experience.

“Our reputation speaks for itself, but more than quality, Wel-Can has succeeded because of its employees,” stated Simpson.

Wel-Can’s operations manager Rick Smith celebrated his 34th anniversary with the company last fall. His knowledge and tenure has enabled Simpson to step back from the day-to-day operation.

Wel-Can’s motto has always been “No job too large or small”. They’ve

fabricated everything from a new leg for a kitchen chair to a 24-foot-by-16-foot-by-40-foot compressor package. Oversized doors were installed specifically to allow fabrication of large projects. In the shop video at www.wel-can.com, Smith states “You come with a drawing, you come with a sketch, we will work with you, we will help design what you need”. It is this solution-based approach that customers look for when they come to Wel-Can.

The recent volatility of oil prices has affected all of Alberta, and Wel-Can is no exception. Since encountering their first recession of the early 1980’s to today, Wel-Can has seen many changes and recognizes that technology and creativity play a key role in sustainability. Industry diversification and repair and maintenance work help sustain operations when oilfield

fabrication needs decrease. Wel-Can specializes in:• Oilfieldfabrication• Vesselandpipingfabrication• BPressurewelding• TIG&MIG• Structuralsteel• Aluminum&stainlesssteel• PortableworkBoilerrepair

The shop is Manufacturer Health and Safety COR, Canadian Welding Bureau, ISNetworld, and Alberta Boiler Safety Authority-certified, with an engineer on retainer. In 2014, score of 96 per cent on the External Safety Audit was achieved.

Wel-Can Welding & Fabrication Ltd. is known as a strong community supporter. The Red Deer Regional Hospital Foundation, Loaves and Fishes, United Way, Red Deer Hospice and Minor Hockey, in addition to many others, benefit annually from Wel-Can’s ongoing support. Rarely a year goes by that Cheryl Simpson is not photographed decorating one of her amazing Christmas trees as part of the Festival of Trees decorating committee, or that Simpson isn’t running back and forth between the Westerner and the shop for steel to reinforce the trees, or to build more hall decorations. Three years ago, the employees began participating in payroll donations to the Central Alberta United Way, and in 2014 won the Community Builder Significant Growth award. Wel-Can has a long history of mentoring apprentices and is very proud to announce that recently they have started a partnership with the Trades Department of Notre Dame High School to donate material and equipment, as well as share industry knowledge and training concepts. Supporting the trade from the grassroots through to the completion of the Journeyman Apprenticeship Program is fundamental to the longevity of not only Wel-Can Welding & Fabrication Ltd., but to the trade itself.

Wel-Can Welding & Fabrication Ltd. is so thankful to its past and present staff, customers, suppliers, sub-trades and service providers, without whom this anniversary would not have been possible. ✣
