In the last few issues of Connec-tions, I have discussed the rapid changes taking place in the con-

struction industry due to emerging digital technology. I talked about the “industrialization” of construction, wherein more and more components that are currently custom-built on job-sites will be shifted into off-site manu-facturing factories. Jobsite activity will change from congested struggles to obtain simultaneous access for mate-rial, equipment and tradespeople to a structured “plug-and-play” assem-bly of standardized multi-functional building elements. At the same time, designers will help the industry to cre-ate options in color, form and texture

for standardized off-site components to allow for creative aesthetic and functional solutions.

Our first step to participate in this in-dustry restructuring has been accom-plished: to align ourselves with an innovative research partner who will also continue to educate and develop our workforce as this transformation takes place. We are fortunate to have the University of New Brunswick to fill this role with the OSCO-sponsored Off-site Construction Research Centre. Significant progress has been made to-date with the recruitment of a Research Chair and an Innovation Director to lead this new initiative. Both individuals have started work at the Centre and are putting together a research plan to advance the con-struction industry towards off-site manufacturing. Discussions have also commenced with other significant industry players to join the Centre and contribute their knowledge and expe-rience. We will keep you informed of

our progress as this industry-focused collaborative moves ahead.

This edition also talks about the significant capital investment we have made in our precast concrete plant in Halifax. Like most organizations, we have a limited amount of financial capital to spend; so, the allocation and use of our capital is one of the more important strategic decisions that the OSCO leadership team must make.

Capital investments can be divided into one of two categories: Mainte-nance Capex and Growth Capex. Maintenance Capex is an expenditure made to sustain current revenues and profits whereas Growth Capex is an expenditure undertaken to increase overall revenues and profits.

Maintenance capex must do more than simply “keep the lights on”; it must also incorporate the latest technology to retain or improve our

Message from the President

“....ROCE is a useful metric to compare income earned

against the amount of financial capital allocated to each

line of business. In this way, over the long run, we ensure

that our limited capital resources have been

used as productively as possible.”

TransAqua ProjectOSCO Concrete’s Moncton Plant Takes On Largest 1-Day Pours Ever

contributed by: Jean Bourque.

Created in 1983, the Greater Moncton Wastewater Commission’s vision is: “to be an outstanding

environmental steward supporting regional plan-ning, economic development and quality of life for the communities of Dieppe, Moncton and River-view.” Their trade name, TransAqua, was imple-mented as the day-to-day business name in 2014.

Over the years, TransAqua’s focus has shifted from concentrating on what goes into the pipes (i.e. sewage) to concentrating on what comes out of the other end – high quality treated wastewater.

TransAqua is currently undertaking a $90.4 Million upgrade to their Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) situated on the banks of the Petitcodiac River in Riverview. TransAqua has been given until 2020, to meet new federal government Waste-water Systems Effluent Regulations, which require upgrading to an Advanced Secondary Biological Treatment Process. Financing for the project is a joint venture between the Federal and Provincial governments at 25% each and the GMWC financ-ing the remainder.

In the summer of 2018, the commission decided to move the project ahead on a design-build model to meet the federal regulations by the end of 2020. TransAqua decided to become the General Con-tractor for the remainder of the project construc-tion. Chris Petrie, P.Eng., Wastewater Systems Engineer was appointed Project Manager and Peter Brown, CET, Lead Operator, was appointed Construction Manager. TransAqua acting as the General Contractor will result in major savings (ap-proximately $3.4 M) to the funding partners, and ul-timately the ratepayers. It will also allow TransAqua to manage an aggressive construction schedule that is achievable without sacrificing quality.

As the general contractor, TransAqua will be taking over construction of the following Phases: Phase 3A-Bioreactor, Phase 3B-Blower Building, Phase 3C-Secondary Clarifier #4 & Retrofit of Existing 3 Primary Clarifiers, Phase 4-Sludge Thickening Building and Phase 5-UV Disinfection Building.

OSCO Concrete’s Role

OSCO Concrete’s Moncton plant was awarded the Concrete Supply for Phases 3C & 4 in late August 2018. Work on these Phases began in late Sep-tember and carried on during the winter months. By the end of March, 95% of the concrete required for these 2 phases had been poured, with OSCO supplying over 1600 m3 of mainly 35 MPa Class C-1 and A-1 for the Clarifier Tank #4 and the Sludge Handling Building. Concrete in the Sludge Handling Building required a Crystalline Waterproofing Ad-mixture for all concrete supplied to this Phase. An Integral Hardener was also used for the base slab.

In December 2018, OSCO Concrete was also awarded the contract to supply concrete for Phases 3A, 3B and 5.

Excavation for Phase 3A, the Bioreactor, began in November 2018. Concrete work began in March, with the pouring of mud slabs. Phase 3A and B will require over 13,000 m3 of concrete, with the base slab for the bioreactor requiring approximately 5,400 m3. This base slab will be done in 16 pours, with each pour requiring 260 – 440 m3, with 4 pours greater than 400 m3 each. These pours require extra equipment to be brought in to supply the concrete, and attention to details will be of the utmost priority, as these will be the biggest 1 day pours ever attempted for the Moncton plant. The first of the pours happened on April 19th, with another one a week later, and more to come.

Completion of the Bioreactor base slab is sched-uled for August 2019, with the remainder of the 8.3m tall walls being constructed into the winter of 2019-2020. Construction of the Blower Building (Phase 3B) is expected to begin this July 2019, with Phase 5 ensuing into 2020.

Once the upgrade is completed, wastewater being discharged in the Petitcodiac River will be as clear as the water flowing through your kitchen faucets.

WYNDHAM EXPANSIONOSCO Group Members Wrap Up Team Project for Commercial Properties

contrib uted by: Dan Fox GSC, Kim Doggett, Jeff Kyle, Tim

MacDonald, Dan Mazerolle & Dave Dunnett P.Eng.

Wyndham Worldwide is getting ready to grow their workforce, now that a multi-million-dollar

expansion to Wyndham Hotels & Resorts’ Saint John Centre in New Brunswick is nearing completion. The addition will accommodate an additional 100 employees (bringing the total to 750). Wyndham is the major tenant of the building at 180 Crown Street, which is owned, operated and managed by Commercial Properties Limited.

This project consisted of a 2-storey expansion of 10,992 sq. ft., as well as the demolition and renovation of 6,565 sq. ft. of existing space. Renovations included upgrades to four existing interior washrooms, the relocation of Coast Tire’s tire storage enclosure, and the expansion of the Dunlop Lane parking area from 308 spaces to 383. The “Be Well” walking trail also had to be modified to suit the parking expansion. A total of 46,875 sq. ft. of asphalt will be installed.

The project was a design-build, with Construction Management provided by FCC. The former tenant, Brothers Beauty, vacated on September 15th and crews immediately began work. Piling, earthwork and foundation work progressed from late September to early January, along with interior demolition.

This project came together through a fantastic Team effort; Ocean Steel, Strescon and FCC worked together to design and fabricate structural steel and precast components, while Ocean Steel Rebar, OSCO Concrete


projects


and FCC Electrical provided rebar, concrete, and electrical and data work.

Structural steel erection commenced in early January, followed closely by precast erection. Winter conditions made things difficult, but the team persevered to keep things moving.

As with many renovations, there were also “surprise” challenges, such as the discovery that existing floors slabs had settled, so a floor topping was required to be installed over 5000 square feet. Substantial completion was scheduled for the end of April, with paving and landscaping continuing through the spring.

Ocean Steel supplied & erected 75 tons of structural steel, including the building structure, floor & roof decking, 3 sets of stairs & front exterior canopy. Erection began on January 3rd and was completed on February 4th.

Strescon Precast• Proj ect Manager: Tim MacDonald• Engi neers: Sajjadul Haque &

Laboni Haque• Erection: Chris Greer

Strescon was awarded the contract to supply and install 33 precast elements (spandrels and wall panels), approximately 5600 sq.ft.

Along with a tight project timeline, a key objective was to supply precast to match the existing building; a daunting task, considering the original building is 45+ years old and located near the industrial center of the city. Strescon Quality Control began casting samples in September 2018, implementing different stones, sands, cements and adjusting aggregate size, until an exact match was approved for use in early November.

While the QC department was busy casting samples, Strescon’s engineering and detailing department were designing connections and sharing pre-weld and precast models with Ocean Steel, to ensure a precise precast fit-up on site. The time spent sharing models and information paid big dividends, as on site delays and remedials were virtually eliminated.

Strescon began casting on November 26th at the Saint John facility and finished on January 15th. Strescon Atlantic commenced erection on January 23rd and completed all on site activities and scope requirements on February 12th.

OSCO Concrete • Project Manager: Dave Dunnett

OSCO Concrete began supplying Ready-Mix in late October and was substantially complete by April. In total, they supplied over 400 m3 of concrete to the project.

“Portland, Maine is a historic sea-coast town with a funky vibe, working waterfront, loads of galleries, hun-dreds of one-of-a-kind shops, and award-winning restaurants serving everything from classic lobster rolls to exotic nouvelle cuisine.” (www.port-landmaine.com). The Greater Port-land metropolitan area is home to over half a million people, more than one-third of Maine’s total population.

Ocean Steel’s Saint John and Fred-ericton fabrication plants recently joined forces to fabricate a new park-ing garage structure for Allied-Cook Construction, on Portland’s Brown Street. Initiated in June of 2018, the parking garage required 557 tons of structural steel columns, beams and metal decking.

As part of this project, Ocean Steel applied a complex 3-part, high-per-formance polyurethane paint system

to all steel prior to delivery. The quality of the painted finish was very important to the owner, so special consideration was required during the fabrication, han-dling and installation of the material.

The final steel delivery to the project took place in December of 2018 and it is expected that the parking garage will be turned over to the owner and put into operation later this spring.

Insulated precast sandwich wall panels consist of two reinforced or prestressed concrete wythes, with

a continuous layer of rigid insulation sandwiched between. They are mass-produced in standard widths, 3660 mm (12’-0”) maximum, on long line casting beds. With attractive exterior surfaces and steel trowel finished inte-rior faces, they inexpensively provide a strong, durable, energy efficient, fire resistant cladding system.

The thickness of insulation contained in sandwich panels varies with the RSI-value required for each building. The insulation is installed under controlled factory conditions and is well protect-ed by the concrete.

Erected at the rate of up to 140 linear meters (460 ft) per day on concrete or steel frame buildings, precast industrial wall panels are available in a range of widths, lengths, thickness and exterior finishes. Designed to stand without intermediate supports, they are used for both load-bearing and non-load bearing applications.

Drill Shed – CFB Stadicona

Halifax, Nova Scotia’s new Consolidat-ed Seamanship Training Facility (CSTF), also known as the Stadacona drill shed, will provide a training facility unlike any other in the Canadian Armed Forces. The facility is being built by Defence Construction Canada (DCC); a Crown corporation that provides innova-tive and cost-effective contracting, construction contract management,

infrastructure and environmental ser-vices, as well as lifecycle support, for Canada’s defence requirements.

Todd Osmond, DCC Coordina-tor, Construction Services in Halifax, explains that along with a drill hall, of-fices and classrooms, the $42-million facility (including site demolition and civil works) will feature two very special training areas.

“The most important is the naval boarding party trainer. This replica of a ship’s interior extends up through three floors of the building, allowing per-sonnel to simulate boarding a ship at sea, entering either through the ship’s deck (the roof) or the sea container storage area (first floor), and progress-ing through ship’s hatches, doors and ladders to clear the vessel,” he says.

Industrial Precast Wall PanelsIndustrial Precast concrete wall panels provide many benefits to owners and designers of single and multi-storey

retail/commercial and industrial buildings. Precast industrial wall panels are economical, attractive, durable, energy

efficient and very fast to install. Buildings are enclosed in days under any weather condition which will considerably

speed up the construction process. Truck docks, drive-in doors, rail sidings and personnel doors are all easily

accommodated. Panels are competitively priced and can be obtained in a variety of patterns, textures and colours.

The second training element simulates a ship-to-ship replenishment at sea with equipment for both a sup-ply side and a receiving side.

“This will be a flagship training facility for the Navy, since it enables them to train on land and with inside conditions,” Osmond notes.

As a modified design-build project, the facility is a collaborative effort between DCC, Canada’s De-partment of National Defence, and the contrac-tor (Bird Construction). During the design process, Bird Construction reached out to Strescon Limited to help with the layout and design of the 15m tall exterior cladding. The panels were very complicated, with multiple colours and finishes within one panel, which required special care and attention to detail in order to provide a quality product. After the design process was completed, Strescon bid and won the contract to supply and install 107 pieces of insulated precast concrete sandwich wall panels. Fabrication and installation were completed in early fall of 2018.

Saint Mary’s University Arena

Saint Mary’s University is building The Dauphinee Centre, a new on-campus arena, which will con-tinue the University’s tradition of hockey excellence and community engagement. The facility is named in honour of the late Bob Dauphinee, a Saint Mary’s alumnus and community champion.

Saint Mary’s University has a proud and suc-cessful hockey tradition that will continue for generations to come. The new arena will con-tribute to the continued success of the varsity men’s and women’s hockey teams, providing athletes and coaches with a new home to continue their tradition of excellence.

The Dauphinee Centre will feature an NHL-sized ice surface with seating and sight lines designed to enhance the fan experience. The centre will have seating for 850 fans, along with ample standing room to bring the capac-ity to more than 1200 people. The building is fully-accessible, with an elevator between floors and six accessible changing rooms for visiting teams, community-based recreational sports groups, and summer camps.

The Centre will also feature an upper-level warming room with an attached fan room overlooking the ice surface, a pedway link to the Homburg Centre for Health & Well-ness, and men’s and women’s varsity dressing rooms that are equal to the best junior hockey facilities in the country.

Spring 2018 saw the start of the design process for the new arena at Saint Mary’s University. By mid summer, Strescon had provided 87 pieces of 36’ tall x 13” thick, load bearing insulated industrial precast wall panels. Strescon completed their portion of the project with the installation of the load bearing panels and 81 precast bleacher seats, in the fall 2018. Construction on the Centre is ongoing, and is expected to be ready for the 2019-2020 varsity hockey season.

PORT OF SAINT JOHN

Ocean Steel Rebar continues work on Port Modernization Project


Ocean Steel Rebar was recently awarded the reinforcing steel contract with general contractor Alternative Con-

crete Technologies Ltd, for the Pier 11 Bollard at Port Saint John. Ocean Steel Rebar will be supplying and installing 9.31 tons of rebar, as part of the ongoing Port Modernization Project (previ-ously featured in Spring/Summer 2017 issue of Connections),

Previous work completed by Ocean Steel Rebar for this project included the Pier 11 Cope Wall (2.44 tons completed in June 2017); the Rodney Terminal Rehabilitation (90.31 tons completed in January 2017); and the Pier 11 & 12 Berth Refacing (6.48 tons completed in April 2016).

The seven-year, $205 million Port Modernization Project was announced in July 2016. The goal is to expand Port Saint John’s vessel and handling capabilities by increasing channel depth, alongside terminal depth, berth length, loading bearing capacity, and container storage areas.

FCC EXPANDS OFFICE SPACE FOR OCEAN CAPITAL INVESTMENTS

The Mercantile Centrecontributed by: Bill Woodhouse P.Eng.

M.Eng. & Dan Mazerolle

One of Saint John, New Bruns-wick’s most prestigious loca-

tions, the Mercantile Centre at 55 Union Street, boasts spectacular har-bour views and modern Class A office space. Certified for its environmental excellence and building management standards, the Mercantile Centre is BOMA BEST level 2 certified.

In September of 2018, FCC Construc-tion’s Civil division began work on an expansion to the Ocean Capital Investments (OCI) office space in the Mercantile Center, and recently wrapped up work on this exciting project. Having previously completed the initial tenant fit up for OCI in 2016, it was determined in 2018 that ad-ditional work space would be required to accommodate OCI’s growing team. This expansion included a 7500 square-foot space on level 7 that was previously unoccupied, as well as up-grades to the existing washrooms.

The expansion on level 7 connects to the existing space, so one of the main goals was to incorporate the new space seamlessly with the exist-ing, by building on the current design elements, while introducing new and inviting design features as well. Another goal was to maintain the panoramic views of the open space. To accomplish this, the design team fo-cused on unique products, including glass KI walls for offices and meeting rooms, as well as a folding Nanawall for the café.

The expansion includes five private offices, sixteen new work stations, and a large boardroom with a Skyfold partition that when not in use, func-tions as two separate meeting rooms. The space also includes a state-of-the-art video conference room that will allow OCI staff to effectively interact with partners and companies worldwide. In addition to these new spaces, the expanded footprint also included re-working and expanding

the existing café.

FCC’s Electrical division also partici-pated in the expansion, installing new LED lighting throughout the space, complete with independent room lighting controls, sound masking

throughout, undercarpet surface raceway to provide power, communications and audio visual to the conference room tables, as well as renovations to

the 7th floor washrooms. FCC’s Electrical team was lead by super-

visor Ron Rathje and Foreman Jeff Sharpe, who worked hard to com-plete this project on schedule.

The expanded office space was another rewarding project for FCC Construction, which will now provide a comfortable office space for the employees at OCI for many years to come. Heading up this project for the Civil division were site superintendent Rob Murphy, site administrator Mary Ann Gates and Project Manager Bill Woodhouse.

WINSLOW INFRASTRUCTURE EMERGENCY

contributed by: Darren Briggs, M.Sc., MPM

On January 13, 2018, Mother Nature brought extreme weather

conditions to central Maine, hitting many communities with devastat-ing damage. Hit especially hard was the City of Winslow. The community saw an extreme precipitation event which brought 3 inches of rain and warm temperatures, melting 2 feet of snow in one day. For those of us that specialize in infrastructure manage-ment, this is a perfect storm for failures of our communities’ essential services. High water tables, rapid run-off, and debris movement all add to the stress on the systems.

The City of Winslow’s location be-tween the Kennebec and Sebasticook Rivers made it prime for disaster. On that day, Paul Fongemie, Winslow’s Public Works Director was hit with an onslaught of problems, as storm sewers were maxed, outfalls plugged, and ditches over-flowed. As his crews were scrambling to respond, he soon received word of a developing problem that would tax all of his attention and resources.

A large sinkhole, over 50 feet long by 30 feet wide had developed off of Halifax Street. The sinkhole was over 20 feet deep and growing. Directly threatened was a 30 inch sanitary sewer main now suspended 15 feet in the air over the Segar Brook Crossing.

Mr. Fongemie and his team did their very best to establish by-pass pumping solutions and temporar-ily backfill to shore the area with stone until a more permanent solution could be devised. Dirigo Engineering, of Fairfield, were contacted and Randy Butler, P.E.

was on point to manage the situation.

The sanitary sewer in jeopardy trans-fers 75% of the raw sewage west of the Sebasticook River, so any failure would be detrimental to the environment, including the streams and two rivers that all merged in that region.

Mr. Butler contacted Darren Briggs, Business Development Manager for Strescon Limited in Maine, to discuss design and product alternatives. Solu-tions were needed that would not only restore, but enhance the services to the city and increase shareholder value back to the com-munity. Increased volume and capacity, extreme service applications, and extended service life, were all factors that would enhance Winslow’s infra-structure for generations to come.

One of the cornerstones of Strescon’s historical success is its pursuit of sim-plicity; simplicity in design, simplicity in operation, and simplicity in mainte-nance. In Winslow’s case, this translated into approximately 1000 feet of 72-inch diameter Reinforced Concrete Pipe, designed for severe service and bury depth. The city tendered the project and Ranger Contracting of Fairfield, Maine was the successful bidder. Rang-er’s Project Manager was Les Marcue, who collaborated with the City, Dirgo and Strescon to commence the project.

Any project comes with a host of chal-lenges, seen and unforeseen, and this one was no different. The project was in the heart of the city, in an extremely congested residential neighborhood. This, along with seasonal weather conditions, meant that the project had to be occasionally suspended and resumed out of sequence. Anytime this happens, it can create added complexities and expenses. Randy contacted Darren about the neces-sity to adjust the sequencing on the project. The ideal solution would be a universal coupling that was severe

duty and yet forgiving enough to be utilized anywhere in the line regardless of joint-configuration.

Gaetan Vaillancourt, Strescon’s Pipe Division Manager was consulted to devise the new product. Jeff Boucher then did the final detailing, before turning it over to Strescon’s special-ized forming crews to fabricate. The resulting coupling worked perfectly and is estimated to have been installed at approximately 10% of the cost and time as conventional methods!

Strescon wishes to thank Les Marcue of Ranger Contracting and Randy Butler of Dirigo Engineering, as well as Paul Fongemie and others at the City of Winslow, for the opportunity to team with them on this special project. Special thanks also to the many talented staff at Strescon for all their ingenuity and positive attitudes in their daily efforts.

The Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) is a private, nonprofit col-

lege founded in Providence, RI in 1877; making it one of the first art and design schools in the US. Enrollment is approximately 2,480 students.

Ocean Steel’s Saint John fabrication plant has completed the fabrication of the steel for RISD’s new residential quad. Located in Providence, Rhode Island. The residential quad which is being constructed by Shawmut Con-struction, consisted of 160 tons of structural steel columns and beams.

The RISD quad block project repre-

sents Ocean Steel’s fourth Integrated Project Delivery “IPD” project with Shawmut Construction and utilized a new Cross Laminated Timber “CLT” deck system in place of a more tradi-tional slab-on-deck or precast plank products. This “CLT” product simply screws to the structural steel framing and offers instant structural rigidity, greatly increasing productivity during the erection process.

The IPD process allowed for highly effective collaboration between Ocean Steel and other trade partner teams, which resulted in Ocean Steel being able to deliver seamless steel packages incorporating trade partner

requirements effectively during both the detailing and approval stages. This collaboration between the trade part-ner groups has resulted in one of the most efficient structural steel installa-tions the construction team has been a part of. From the first delivery of steel to erection completion, includ-ing deck/CLT installation, the dura-tion was only 16 days; far exceeding project schedule goals.

The final load of steel for the main building was shipped to site in January of 2019 and it is anticipated that the residence will be turned over for student occupation in August 2019. The facility will house 148 students.

140 Carleton Ocean Steel Rebar Works on Fredericton’s “Sexiest Building”


Ocean Steel Rebar is working with general contrac-tor Bird Construction Group on a seven story office

building located at 140 Carleton Street in Fredericton, NB.

Owner Ross Ventures Ltd is promoting 140 Carleton Street as “Fredericton’s Sexiest Building” due to its modern aesthetics and use of floor to ceiling glass. The mixed-use “Class A” office building sits in a prime downtown location and will feature all the latest ame-nities. The building will also seek BOMA certification (international guidelines for design and environmental standards in commercial real estate).

The Port of Sydney is the ocean gateway to Nova Scotia’s scenic

Cape Breton Island. The Port’s 16.5 metre deep channel and shel-tered inner harbour can welcome the world’s largest vessels and has become a preferred destination for many prominent cruise lines.

The location’s popularity comes as no surprise. Sydney’s gracious and proud people, rich Gaelic heritage and sweeping landscapes, captivates visitors young and old. The area has much to offer, including: shore excur-sions to the world famous Cabot Trail; a trip back in time at the Fortress of Louisbourg; sailing on the placid water of the Bras d’Or Lakes; the Alexander

Graham Bell museum; or taking in a traditional Ceilidh (pronounced kay-lee) at the Joan Harriss Cruise Pavilion.

Sydney has become such a popular cruise destination; according to the Port’s website, an estimated 250,000 passengers and crew will land in 2019; that the Port is now building a second berth. A due diligence study by con-sultants CPS, estimated that the new berth will generate $1.3 to $3.1 million in revenue to the region, annually.

In September of 2018, the tender to construct the second marine terminal was awarded to Zutphen Contrac-tors of Mabou Cape Breton. CBCL Limited of Sydney, Nova Scotia is the Consultant on the project. According to the Cape Breton Post, the federal,

provincial and municipal governments are equally funding the $20-million project, with the Cape Breton Region-al Municipality (CBRM) responsible for any possible cost overruns.

Strescon was awarded the supply of (33) 24-foot NEXT Beams for the project in November of 2018, from First Nations Construction (a subsid-iary of Zutphen Construction).

The new terminal will be constructed of 7 intermediate breasting dolphins, 4 intermediate bents, and 1 on-land abutment, with 11 spans of 3 NEXT beams tying everything together. Work is well underway. The NEXT beam girders began production in late February with the on land abutment and the first three bents constructed. At press time, 9 of the 33 NEXT beams have arrived on-site and have been installed on the bents with the deck formed up, reinforcing installed and concrete ready to be poured.

Stay tuned for the fall issue of Connections for more info on this exciting project!

CenterBeam Welcomes PwC

contributed by: Dan Fox GSC

FCC Construction’s Civil Division managed the

original restoration of Saint John, New Brunswick’s CenterBeam place between 2004 and 2008. This extensive project combined 11 separate historical buildings into 1 integrated facility. Since that time, it has won numerous awards, includ-ing 2 national CUI Brownie awards (excellence in Project Development and for Best Medium scale project in Canada). It also won 3 City Heritage awards; one for Heritage Façade and two for Heritage Storefront.

CenterBeam’s owner, Commercial Properties, helped revitalize Saint John’s uptown with this massive proj-ect; bringing life to buildings which for years had been neglected, vacant spaces. The project also showed other uptown building owners the

possibilities for their own properties, which began a resurgence of interest in renovating and repurposing old buildings in uptown Saint John.

A few FCC members were fortunate to be involved in this project from the beginning, and are now excited to have returned after 10 years, to man-age construction of the Saint John office space for PricewaterhouseC-oopers LLP (PwC). The building is holding its age very well and has an exceptional feeling to it, as a great space to be working in.

The space was designed by Toss So-lutions; also a tenant in the building. Toss has designed several spaces in CenterBeam, and have a great sense of how to bring modern finishes to-gether to enhance the old space.

With Irving Oil’s new Home Office on the horizon, their approximately 6000

square foot space on the 3rd level of 12-14 King and 16-18 King was vacated and demolished in anticipa-tion of the space’s incoming tenants; PwC. What followed was 10 weeks of an extremely tight schedule; demoli-tion began on September 20th and PwC moved in on December 7th.

The success of this project was a team effort, which also included help from FCC’s Electrical Division, who pro-vided the electrical and data work on this project. The FCC Electrical team was lead by Pat Bagley, Ron Rathje, Denny Lowe, and John Allen.

FCC Civil’s project team was lead by: Project Manager, Dan Fox; Superin-tendent, Dave Carr, Administration, Madison Spear; and Estimating and tendering, Shauna Miller & Oliver Logue. Many thanks to all the support staff, from Contracts to Accounting.

Located in Halifax, NS, The Vuze is Canada’s tallest structure east

of Quebec City. Formerly known as Fenwick Towers, the building was known mostly for student rent-als. The Vuze is currently be-ing redeveloped by Templeton Properties, into luxury living in the heart of Halifax. The Vuze is the beginning of what will be known as South Village, which will include another two apartment build-ings, all of which will be connected through the parking garage.

Allstar Rebar started fabrication for The Vuze in February of 2019, and will also be working simultaneously

on the adjoining buildings; The Mews East, and The Mews North.

While the Vuze is being redeveloped, there is a weight restriction in the

parkade of 10,000 lbs. Because of this, Allstar must deliver the re-

bar by boom truck and trailer, then transfer the rebar (with the boom truck) onto a pick-up truck with a car trailer, to

drive it into the underground parking lot. The photos show

the initial work on the floors, as well as the addition of extra columns & walls, which is being done to support the multistory building that is going to sit on the existing structure. Although some parking spots will be lost in the process, there will still be plenty of parking available for new tenants.

By the time Allstar has completed their portion of the project in early 2020, they will have provided the following to the development:

• The Vuze: 126 tons of rebar and 384 square feet of mesh.

• North Mews: 11 tons of rebar 15456 square feet of mesh

• East Mews: 29 tons of rebar 27264 square feet of mesh

OSCO Concrete is also working on the Vuze, supplying 2700 cubic meters of ready-mix concrete. OSCO began this project in February of 2019 and completion is expected near the end of 2019. The development requires concrete to be placed using concrete pumps, on occasion with upwards of 200 feet of extension pipe and hoses.

THE GEORGEcontributed by: David Marcatilli

Dexel Developments, one of Halifax’s most prolific multi-unit

residential developers, is at it again in the heart of Halifax. As of publish-ing, construction at Dexel’s newest development, The George, named after the Lawen family patriarch, is well underway.

When complete in 2020, the 17 story, 173-unit glass façade tower will stand as a new Halifax landmark at the corner of Robie and Pepperell Street. Three levels of underground parking will be topped by 14 stories of above-

ground commercial and residential. The George will feature vista views of the Halifax Commons and, from up-per levels, Halifax Harbour.

Kris Skiba, VP of Design and Con-struction for Dexel, brought Mark Walker and Adam Wicks to the Dexel team to manage this ambitious project on a busy corner across from the QE2 Hospital. Excavation started in the Fall of 2018, with LEAD Struc-tural formwork moving to the site in December 2018.

OSCO Concrete has supplied con-crete and pumping to the Lawen

Group on various projects for the last 20 years and are proud to have been chosen to supply this project also. In total, the project will require approxi-mately 9500 cubic meters of con-crete, ranging from 20MPa to 45MPa. Due to the tight worksite, concrete is being placed with crane buckets and occasionally, with OSCO’s 38-meter concrete pumps, using their one-sided support setup system.

Along with The George, Dexel is finishing up Flynn Flats on the corner of Hollis and Bishop Street, and have a number of other exciting projects on the horizon.

Kirkland Lake Gold is a grow-ing gold mining com-

pany, targeting production of 950,000 – 1,000,000 ounces

of gold for 2019 from mines in Canada and Australia. Kirkland’s Macassa Mine commenced operations in 2002 and is located in the Town of Kirkland Lake, 580 km north of Toronto, Ontario. The Macassa Mine is one of the highest gold grade mines in the world.

On January 17, 2018, the Company announced plans to sink a new shaft at Macassa. The new, 21.5-foot diameter, concrete-lined shaft will offer a number of important benefits to the mine, including: de-risking the operation; enabling more effective underground exploration to the east of the South Mine Complex; improv-ing ventilation and general working conditions in the mine; and supporting higher levels of production and lower unit costs.

Ocean Steel and Construction began work on structural steel supply and installation for the No. 4 shaft proj-ect, in the fall of 2018. Detailing and connection design commenced in October and the first trip to site was in late November.

Now that the weather has started to warm up, steel erection is progressing well and it is almost time to install the roof steel and decking. This phase will also include some hanging wall steel, covered in steel siding complete with the Kirkland Lake company logo. Once the Production Sheave floor steel is in, secured, and the slab has been poured, Ocean Steel with lift the Pro-duction Sheaves up to the floor, prior to closing in the roof. These sheaves

will be stored on the floor until a later date, when they are ready to be set on their respective pedestals.

In all, Ocean Steel will supply and install over 500 tons of steel for this

project, consisting of the permanent steel and temporary steel, as well as some leave out steel, that will be installed during the shaft change over, from the sinking phase to the produc-tion phase.

In addition to the headframes floor steel, Ocean also provided two plate-work dump chutes for the project. One chute is permanent, complete with Hardox liner plates, and will discharge into the future Bin House. Ocean also

supplied a temporary chute that is to be used during the sinking phase, and will discharge into the muck bin.

Part of Ocean Steel’s scope was also to supply and install 20 squares of

Project at a Glance:

500+ Tons of steel

39+ squares of decking

800+ linear feet of CFC

200+ sq. feet of grating

300+ stair treads

floor decking, 19 squares of roof deck-ing, 805 linear feet of cold form chan-nels, over 200 square feet of grating, and over 300 stair treads.

As has been the case on previous head-frame projects completed by Ocean Steel, there is always a challenge in sourcing and supplying all of the spe-cial parts and pieces required which aren’t standard structural steel items. Ocean Steel was responsible to supply and install several different rubber and machined items, including the dump door shafts, hinge pins, tapered shims, bumper blocks, load cells etc…

This project utilized a large quantity of plate girder beams and columns to make up the steel structure that fills the 65 meter tall concrete headframe, providing a nice mix of work for both of Ocean Steel’s fabrication plants. In addition to Kirkland Lake Gold, Ocean also had to work closely with both design teams to ensure the success of the project, through intense coordination and some design assist. WSP oversaw the above-ground shaft and steel design for the permanent design, while the sinking contractor is overseeing the temporary above-ground steel which is part of the sinking phase.

The Team:• Conn ection Design: Ocean Steel

• Steel Fabrication: Ocean Steel’s Saint John and Fredericton plants

NOVA SCOTIA HIGHWAY 102/103 INTERCHANGE UPGRADEScontributed by: David Marcatilli

Nova Scotia Transportation and Infrastruc-ture Renewal, (NSTIR), has had the Highway

102/103 Interchange on its books for upgrades and renewal for several years. The original Inter-change was built in 1963 and currently handles and average of 42,000 vehicles a day. With the main structure of the interchange reaching the end of its service life, NSTIR issued a tender, and in July of 2018 announced that Bryan Naugle and his team at Brycon Construction provided the successful $28 million bid and would start work on the massive undertaking within a month.

The project includes sub-grading, drainage piping, construction of a new overpass, installa-tion of a new tunnel exit to Dunbrack Street, and paving. Brycon chose OSCO Concrete to supply its concrete, which ranged in strength from 15MPa, mud slabs, 35MPa, pipe bedding, and 45MPa HPC for structures and Tunnel footings. The project required approximately 2000 cubic meters of concrete and is on schedule for paving in early December 2019.

Founded in 1924, Irving Oil oper-ates Canada’s largest refinery in

Saint John, New Brunswick, along with more than 900 fuelling locations and a network of distribution terminals span-ning Eastern Canada and New England. It also operates Ireland’s only refinery, located in the village of Whitegate.

Marque Construction has been assist-ing the Refinery with several ongo-ing electrical and instrumentation installations, including the HDS and #2 Rheni rebuild, temporary power for tank life extension and temporary power for CUI mitigation.

HDS and #2 Rheni rebuildMarque has been involved in the HDS and #2 Rheni rebuild project since the end of October. A period of aggressive demolition progressed through November, December and January. Demolition activities in-cluded the removal of conduit, cable, tubing, tube bundle and devices. Extensive testing was performed to determine viability of equipment and infrastructure. At the end of January, Marque moved into rebuild activi-ties. Rebuild started with the instal-lation of main cable tray and sup-ports. Particular care and expertise of Marque’s electricians were utilized

with the installation of large steel cable tray supports in the substation. Once the main cable tray installa-tions neared completion, Marque was able to progress with the installation of home run cables. At the same time, tray, cables and tube bundles were being installed for instruments and this work will continue into May. Marque installed temporary fibre optic communication cable during the demolition phase and has now installed permanent runs of fibre op-tic cable. This project is expected to be completed by the middle of June.

Tank Life Extension Marque has been supplying tem-porary power for several tanks that are being upgraded by Lorneville Mechanical (LMC) to extend the life of the tanks. Typically, a tank would be removed from service then cleaned and purged prior to any physical work being performed on the tank. Only when the absence of any harmful substances or vapors has been proven can work commence. Access to the tank interior is gained by cutting a section of the tank side out. This opening has to be of suf-ficient size to allow for large equip-ment to be taken inside. Ventilation and climate control are extremely important for the safety and working

environment of personnel required to perform their tasks inside the tank.

At this point, Marque is required to provide power for the lighting packs, heater units and ventilation units. Marque has personnel available for maintenance of this equipment and often is requested to assist with down equipment as quickly as possible so that schedules are not affected.

After all the power requirements have been met, LMC is tasked with inspecting the tank for deteriorated metal, corrosion, and defects to both interior and exterior coatings, repair-ing as necessary. Many of the tanks have a floating roof which under normal operating conditions, moves up and down, dependent on the amount of product contained within. Once these tanks have been de-in-ventoried, the roof therefore requires support in order to perform work on the floor and the roof itself. A net-work of cribbing must be installed at critical locations to avoid warping to the structure, as well as maintaining a level to avoid misalignment with tank walls. It is at this point that the roof seals and roof drains are inspected and repaired if required. Marque again is called in to install electric heat tracing and sump pit heaters where necessary.

Central Park Condoscontributed by: Dave Dunnett P.Eng.

OSCO Concrete is proud to be working with A.E. McK-

ay Builders on the impressive Central Park project in the heart of Rothesay, New Brunswick. The project started in 2017 and has been progressing nicely with the completion of 3 garden home buildings and the first condo-minium building well under way. The project is being done in

phases and already has over 1000 cu-bic meters of concrete placed. Once the first condo is near completion a second building will be constructed adjacent to it, with additional garden homes to follow.

When complete, Central Park will feature two 24-unit condo buildings and 5 duplex garden homes. Each unit will have 9 foot ceilings, granite

countertops, custom wood cabi-nets, a walk-in pantry, and cov-ered deck. Square footage will range from 1224 – 1642 square feet. The condo buildings will include an elevator, gym, common area with full public kitchen, underground parking, and access to the pool area.

Five different condo layouts will offer a mix of 2 and 3 bedrooms, all with 2 bathrooms. The garden homes are duplexes with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. All will have 2 car ga-rages, optional basement space, and optional second floor space.

tank can be anywhere from a few weeks to several months,

dependent on the repairs required, so temporary power requirements can be extensive. Supply of power to each tank is required for welding packs, lighting, and all manner of tools and equipment, which can present a chal-lenge when the tanks are a substantial distance from a substation.

CUI Mitigation Marque has been providing temporary power for the CUI mitigation project on several columns, to ensure that work may easily be performed at sev-

eral elevations. CUI stands for “corro-sion under insulation”. It refers to any corrosion that takes place on industrial equipment that is normally covered by an insulating layer. Insulating material is placed over pipes to keep the sys-tem efficient and to protect workers form accidental burns. Unfortunately, the tiny space between the pipe and the insulating material can create the perfect environment for rampant cor-rosion. Even in applications where the pipes themselves may not gather con-densation during operation, it is pos-sible for outside moisture to seep into the space through the insulation. Over time, this corrosion can become so widespread that leaks and other dam-

age happens. CUI mitigation is any process by which CUI can be slowed down or prevented. One method is to have pipes painted or coated. Most industrial paint solutions are durable enough to prevent moisture from seeping in or causing peeling. Having pipes painted is relatively inexpensive and can provide years of protection.

Marque Construction is delighted to assist the Refinery with the electrical and instrumentation required on so many projects. We look forward to a productive relationship in the future and will continue our focus on safety, customer service and proficient and specialized installations.

Moosehead Breweries has a long and resilient history that dates

back to 1867. Currently located in Saint John, New Brunswick, Mooseh-ead is the last major brewery in Canada that is owned by Canadians.

FCC Construction was first contacted In December of 2017, regarding plans to complete renovations to the Moosehead Cold Beer Store in

Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Moosehead Breweries’ 152 year history actually began in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, and until 1992, operated a brewery at the site of the Cold Beer Store. The Cold Beer Store first opened in 1986 and was a first of its kind for both providing customers with pre-chilled product and also the convenience of a drive-thru. After many years of

service however, it was time to make some improvements!

Following the initial briefing on the project, FCC began working with the Moosehead Breweries’ team in Saint John to develop a phased construc-tion approach to upgrade the current commercial outlet.

The first phase, which was minor in nature, was the conversion of an existing office space into a usable

storage area for products used by sales and marketing staff in the re-gion. Upon successful completion of this first phase, Moosehead and FCC began working on budgeting and plans for the second phase.

FCC Construction engaged the services of F.C O’Neill Scriven and Associates of Halifax to assist with

the mechanical and electrical design upgrades to the exist-ing services on the site. The primary scope of work included

the design of a new electrical room and distribution equip-ment, lighting upgrades for the interior and exterior, as well as a new walk in cooler with new evaporators and a condenser. However, as work started on site, it was identified that the project should be expanded to further improve not only the staff experience, but also the customer experience. This expanded scope included new flooring and paint in the retail area, new casework, includ-

ing a cash counter and expanded product tasting, as well as storage for retail clothing. Aluminum automatic doors were also added to the main entrance, as well as to the walk in cooler entrance.

Work is progressing well on site, with work scheduled to be completed in June 2019. Once complete, Mooseh-ead is planning a re-launch of the site to highlight the transformation. The Moosehead Cold Beer Store project is another example of a successful

project and of how FCC continues to develop a strong relationship with Moosehead Breweries.

Most of the OSCO Group’s facilities have Industrial Approvals to Operate. The Approval for OSCO Aggregates-Glenholme, located in Glenholme Nova Scotia, has the most Approval Conditions of any other Group operation.

This year, the Group decided to do all environ-mental compliance sampling in-house, rather than hiring a third-party consultant. Some operations began in-house sampling during the 2018 operating year, which was then extended to the OSCO Aggregates-Glenholme location for the 2019 operating season.

Sample collection varies from monthly to quar-terly, depending on the Conditions contained in the Operating Approval for that site. OSCO Aggregates-Glenholme has 8 surface water sampling locations, 8 wetland piezometers, 8 monitoring wells and one hydrometric station. Samples and data need to be collected from these locations on a quarterly basis and are sent to the lab for a myriad of tests. If any of the test results come back in excess of provincial regulation or Approval Conditions, the results must be sent to the Provincial Environment Department.

Cory Westaway, OSCO’s Ready Mix Technician, who works out of Bedford Ready Mix, has been assisting the OSCO Group’s Environmental Department by completing our sampling requirements in Nova Scotia and PEI, since January 2018. Big thanks to Cory for all his hard work!!

OSCO Aggregates’ new property in Glenholme has been approved by

Nova Scotia for aggregate extraction. The property is 47.7 hectares, con-sisting of approximately 2ha of farm field and 4ha of current pit, with the balance covered in a young forest. These trees aren’t mature enough to be cut for logs or pulp wood. This would usually mean they would be pulled out and burned; just an added expense to prepare the land for gravel extraction.

Due to the desire for more environ-mentally friendly fuels to produce energy in Nova Scotia, the whole tree is now cut and processed into bio-mass fuel chips. These chips are used as fuel to generate power at Nova Scotia’s Port Hawkesbury generat-ing plant, along with other things like heating buildings and greenhouses. Since the tree is being chipped, size

doesn’t matter!

Northlumberland Resources Ltd (NRL) was approached by OSCO Aggre-gates, after being recommended by neighbors as a company who does a neat job and clears this type of ground for biomass chips. Robbie Lynds came out to look at the property, and agreed to clear the section for the value he would receive from the chips he produced. OSCO’s property had additional benefits for NRL, because the roads remain open during spring weight restrictions, and the gravel ground remains solid in the spring.

NRL uses an 853 John Deere Tim-berjack Feller Buncher to cut and pile the trees. The operator was able to cut the trees flush to the ground due to the lack of snow in the area. Once the trees were cut and piled, they were hauled out to the chipper with a 450 Timberjack grapple skidder. The skidder backed up to the pile,

then the hydraulic grapple latched onto the butt ends of the trees to drag them out, releasing them within reach of the boom grapple on the 23” Treeland chipper. This chipper can process trees up to 23” in diameter! The trees were fed into the chipper, blown out into a pile, then loaded on a chip trailer to be transported to Nova Scotia Power’s generating plant.

This process makes use of the whole tree, so there are no branches, brush or tops left behind to clean up. Since the trees are so small at the stump, most of the stumps can just be left in the topsoil that will be used to re-claim finished areas of the property.

What could have been costly and burdensome to OSCO, turned out to be valuable to NRL, the trucking company, Nova Scotia Power, and the Nova Scotia economy. Most importantly... nothing was wasted!

Nothing Wasted at OSCO Aggregates

Strescon’s new $5.5 M concrete batching & distribution system in

Bedford is nearing completion, with commissioning expected to take place in May. The plant is a tower- style design by Marcantonini SRL of Perugia, Italy, and consists of raw materials storage, concrete batching, and a concrete distribution system throughout the precast shop floor.

The primary aggregate hopper can be loaded directly from a dump trailer, which will cut down on the handling of materials with a wheel loader. Ag-

gregates will be stored in a 12 - bin configuration with a massive 380 cubic meter capacity. There are four 85 T silos for cements and fly ash.

Concrete mixing will be performed with two planetary mixers, with 1.0 and 2.0 cubic meter mix capabilities. For ease of cleaning and mainte-nance, the mixers are equipped with an automatic washing system and side doors that permit access to the interior. The mixers were manu-factured by Skako Concrete A/S of Faaborg, Denmark.

The concrete distribution system is

what really sets the plant apart. Two bucket conveyors -- aka “The Bullet” travels approximately 150 meters down the length of the shop floor under the overhead crane runway. This allows a crew to work with a crane undisturbed by another crew in a concrete placing operation. It also saves on crane travelling time; no longer do crews have to collect con-crete mix from a central point with an overhead crane; the concrete arrives at their location.

To protect our environment, a Geco wash water recycling system from Ketsch, Germany was chosen to

separate aggregates and filter waste water from concrete clean up operations.

LED lighting has also been fitted throughout the new plant to save energy and maintenance costs. Pulse jet dust filters will be installed on all cement handling equipment.

OSCO Group members who helped out on this project include: Allstar Rebar, who placed the foundation reinforcing; OSCO Concrete, who supplied and pumped ready-mix; and Ocean Steel, who fabricated and installed the bucket conveyor support brackets.

BMR Structural Engineering was Strescon’s structural consultant on the project, with CBCL Limited handling the electrical design.

Full Control in Canaan Mountaincontributed by: Shawn Putnam

OSCO has been leasing the Canaan mountain sand pit for 5 years now, and during this time, has focused

on management, sales and product delivery. All aggre-gate production was subcontracted to SW Weeks Con-struction, including excavation from the bank, washing, and stockpiling the aggregate products at the site. SW Weeks owned the stationary washplant in Canaan and previously leased the pit. They are a very respected and knowledgeable company, with years of experience producing quality aggregates at multiple sites in the Maritimes. The partnership was very successful and was scheduled to end after five years.

In December of 2018, OSCO Aggregates exercised its right to purchase the washplant and will now take full control of the Canaan operation. A team of people have been hired in preparation of a spring start, bringing great jobs and opportunity for the local area. This washplant is very similar to OSCO’s washplant in Glenholme, with the addition of a Clarifier for removing the fines from the wastewater, and an Attrition mill for removing lignite from the sand. OSCO will also use its knowledge and experience to make a few changes to the current production practices, in hopes of increasing the quality and marketability of its products, and lowering overall production costs.

As reported by CBC News in April of 2018, “Jonathan Young passed away

four years ago, after a 14-month battle with brain cancer. He was 11 years old. Since his death, his family and friends worked to honour his short but vibrant life. His cousin, Bethany Young, said he loved performing and attending Camp Medley, so the family is fundraising for an amphitheatre there.”

Just over a year later, Jonathan’s fam-ily’s vision has come to fruition. OSCO is proud to have been a partner on this special project to honour a vibrant, happy boy. Ocean Steel Rebar Limited donated the rebar and OSCO Concrete NB donated the ready-mix for the project. As a family-oriented organi-zation, we are proud to donate to a space where children can gather to celebrate the life of Jonathan with the memorial amphitheatre. In the years to come, many children will discover and develop a love of the stage and Camp Medley, just like Jonathan.

OSCO would like to thank the Young

family for allowing us the opportunity to contribute to Jonathan’s legacy.

YMCASTRONGKIDScontributed by: Madison Spear

Over the past 5 years, beginning with the YMCA Project in the Spring of 2014, FCC

along with their subcontractors and custom-ers, have raised over $20,000 for the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign.

Most recently, we finished the Wyndham Renovations in Saint John, which helped raise an additional $5,390 for this won-derful charity. In addition to helping fund childcare and recreational/fitness activities, funds raised will help send children and families to camp, who may not otherwise have the means to go.

Commercial Properties participates in the BOMA program, so their certification as an environmentally friendly building meant we were also able to easily recycle valuable site material, which in turn allowed us to give back to the community.

A huge thank-you to Commercial Properties, FCC Electrical, Irving Equipment, Atlantic Windoor, and all other subcontractors and companies involved in making this happen. Working on a local project great, but it is even more special when you can give back to your community at the same time.

Over the past year, OSCO Construction Group’s HR &

Operational Departments partnered to hold information sessions at the University of New Brunswick and the New Brunswick Community College; targeting the Civil Engineering, Engineering Technology, and trade students to give them a personalized introduction to our Group of Companies, and discuss the potential career opportunities that exist after graduation across the various sectors of our organization.

Throughout the past academic year, the OSCO Construction Group has visited the University of New Brunswick on multiple occasions, highlighting various career paths within our company’s sectors. In the fall, Ann Eagles and Shane Jones visited the third year Civil Engineer-ing students to discuss their time with Ocean Steel & Construction Ltd, giving detailed information on the topics of shop drawings and connection design.

Shortly thereafter, we had the pleasure of hosting an evening recruitment presentation on UNB’s campus as well. We had a great turnout of engaged third and fourth year students, excited to learn about what OSCO Construction Group has to offer them throughout their undergraduate degree, as well as upon completion of their programs.

One of our previous Co-op stu-dents, William Christensen, gave a presentation about his twelve month placement with Ocean Steel, as a student in the Connection Design department. He showed his peers some of the projects he worked on, and spoke very highly about his time with the OSCO Construction Group. William will be rejoining Ocean Steel’s Connection Design depart-ment full-time, following his gradua-tion in May 2019.

In November, we also invited the UNB Civil Engineering students to tour both of our plants in Saint John, NB. We began with the OSCO Con-struction Group head office where we hosted a safety training session. Following that, the students depart-ed in small groups to tour both the Ocean Steel and Strescon Precast plants, getting a glimpse into our fabrication and business processes. We were very happy to see students interested in both co-op and full-time employment opportunities. We are looking forward to seeing both new and familiar faces at several of our locations this coming summer.

As a final wrap-up to our recruit-ing season at UNB, we recently hosted an on-campus Lunch & Learn presentation, featuring one of our own esteemed UNB Alumni, Kyle Blanchard. During this ses-sion we had the opportunity to teach students about our collection of companies, with added emphasis on the Construction Sector. Kyle spoke

about his career with the OSCO Construction Group, highlighting his previous roles and projects, leading up to his current position as BIM/VDC Manager with FCC Construction.

In an attempt to show the Engineer-ing Technology students how OSCO can offer a career, rather than just a job following graduation, we cre-ated a presentation on NBCC alumni Ann Eagles’ (OSCO) 20-year career with Ocean Steel & Construction Ltd. After a presentation from HR explaining our Group of Compa-nies as a whole, Ann took over and was able to show the students how she has built her career with Ocean Steel. She went through each of the different roles she has worked in and was able to relate it to her schooling from NBCC, as well as give an in-depth explanation on how she was able to move from role to role, as well as the duties that were impor-tant for her to master along the way.

Another aspect of OSCO’s school recruiting relationship with NBCC, is visiting the trade programs. Each year through out the months of January, February & March, OSCO’s Human Resources & Operational Department representatives visit steel fabrication and welding stu-dents all over the province of New Brunswick in hopes of finding future employees. With the help of Plant Managers Troy Hawkes (Ocean Steel-SJ) and Andrew MacKenzie (Ocean Steel-F), OSCO visits the students enrolled in trade programs at CCNB-Bathurst, NBCC-Moncton, NBCC-St. Andrews, NBCC-Saint John, NBCC-Woodstock and NBCC-Miramichi. Along with hoping to find future full-time employees, OSCO

also uses this opportunity to bring students into our steel fabrication shops in Saint John and Fredericton to complete their programs’ required work practicums. In the coming months, OSCO could be hosting students in our plants from as many as five different schools!

Not only have we as a Group revital-

ized our school recruiting agenda with our provincial post-secondary educational institutions, we have started to position ourselves again as an employer with the desire to build relationships and hire new graduates.

Once again, OSCO Construction Group’s school recruiting season has been a great success. It would not

have been possible however, without the dedication and knowledge of our presenters. A sincere thank-you to each of them, for not only taking the time to plan and present, but also for showing the interest in offering this information to soon-to-be graduating students!

competitive position. On the other hand, there are many opportunities to invest Growth Capex; however, not all such opportunities will meet our strategic objectives and financial targets.

As the OSCO Group expands in prod-ucts, size and geography, we will need to utilize both types of capex and to measure the results. The benchmark we have chosen for the deployment of capital, whether growth or maintenance, is Return on Capital Employed (ROCE). ROCE is a profitability ratio that mea-

sures how efficiently OSCO generates profits from its total capital employed. In other words, ROCE is a useful metric to compare income earned against the amount of financial capital allocated to each line of business. In this way, over the long run, we ensure that our limited capital resources have been used as productively as possible. Over time, our senior management team will become more familiar with this measure and use it in conjunction with our other key performance indicators.

We continue to make steady progress; both in adapting to the industry transfor-

mation underway and in our determina-tion to grow in scale and geographic reach. To our customers and suppliers, we want to thank you for your business and your continued support. To our team members in our offices, plants and field operations, we thank you for coming to work every day ready to give your best efforts and full participation in serving our valued clients.

Year ClubWelcomes 5 New Members!

contrib uted by: Ashley Dooks CPHR

The OSCO Construction Group’s an-nual 25 Year Club Dinner was held

at The Union Club in Saint John, NB on November 29th, 2018. First built in the 1890’s, the Union Club has become the permanent home for our annual dinner, and as always, we were treated to a wonderful evening and a lovely full-course turkey dinner. In keeping with annual traditions, George Paisley (Strescon retiree) graciously presided over a moment silence for retirees who had passed the previous year, followed by asking the blessing over the meal.

Following the meal was the induc-tion of our newest members. Once again, we commissioned Arrowfoot Inc. to film and create videos for those inductees who wished to be filmed.

Our first inductee was Candace Galbraith, Administrative Assistant (Marque Construction). After watching Candace’s touching video and seeing the extent to which she is appreciated by her supervisors, Thomas Coughlan, Industrial Manager for Marque, had the

honor of presenting Candace with her gift and official induction.

Our second inductee was Nancy May-nard, Administrative Assistant (FCC Construction). Nancy’s video, featur-ing her current supervisor as well as fellow employees, really gave a great perspective of what it has been like to work with Nancy for over 25 years. Fol-lowing the video, Rick Williston, Civil Manager for FCC, presented Nancy with her gift and congratulated her in joining the 25 Year Club.

The third inductee, but certainly not least, was Steven (Steve) Adams, Credit Manager (Group Services). Steve’s video had a little bit of every-thing in it, giving us insight into what kind of a person and employee Steve really is. In short, he is a character; whether it is his need to be the life of every party, or to his inability to sit through a movie! The video finished with a very heartfelt thank you from Steve to the Klohn, Irving, and Isnor families, for giving him this 25-year op-portunity. Following the video, Jim Is-nor, Vice President & General Manager

for the Corporate Sector, presented Steve with his gift and welcomed him into the 25 Year Club.

The video presentations have really allowed us to paint a picture of why OSCO prides itself in our employees. In addition to receiving their induction gift and pin, each attending inductee’s guest was presented with a gift basket full of treats from Laura Secord!

Two additional inductees: James Moody (Allstar Rebar Nova Scotia) and William Gately (Ocean Steel) were not able to attend the dinner.

At the conclusion of the induction ceremony, Mr. Hans O. Klohn and Mr. John Irving drew winners for our door prizes; congratulations to Dan Fox, Roxanna Walsh, Randy Gallant, Lenny Kinsella and Angie Hickie!

Finally, Mr. Klohn thanked everyone for coming and announced that the 2019 dinner would be held earlier in the Fall, on Thursday October 17th.

Congratulations to all of our 25 Year Club Inductees!

contributed by: Jennifer Blackwood

Congratulations Ocean Capital employees - you were presented with a health and well-being program and you embraced it! Our

employees had a 71% participation rate, compared to 41% globally and only 31% in Canada. Not only did we achieve staggering participation rates, but our results were fantastic as well; 144 participants reported more physical activity, and 38 participants quit smoking! More of our great results can be viewed in the tables on the left.

Other Health & Wellness Initiatives:Health & Wellness is definitely catching on in the Group. Last fall, an in-house initiative originated out of the OSCO Group head office, called the Health Solution Program, for employees who wanted to become healthier individuals, and were looking for accountability and support without having to pay for a specialized program.

An employee-run program, the endeavour is highly supported by the entire organization. They have provided prizes for the Top 3 employees with the highest % of weight loss, as well as biometric screening and payroll deduction for fitness trackers.

Each session lasts 12 weeks, with weekly weigh ins and bi-weekly meetings with well-being counsellors who discuss a variety of topics on obtaining a healthier lifestyle.

Now in our 3rd session, we are extremely pleased with the results. In our last 2 sessions a total of 452 lbs were lost as a group, and we’re looking forward to shedding more and continuing our healthy lifestyles and fitness goals.

The next session will begin in September 2019. If you are interested in joining, please contact Chelsea Presley.

Meet Moosehead’s Newest Brand Ambassador - Shauna Miller’s Border Collie!

contributed by: Moosehead Breweries

Henry is a 13 month old Border Collie owned by FCC employee

Shauna Miller, who is an agility competitor in training. He will start competing in dog agility competi-tions around Atlantic Canada in October of 2019, when he turns 18 months.

Moosehead met Henry a few months ago and felt he was the perfect fit to represent the Moose Light brand. The Agility sport and

community is surrounded by pas-sionate, competitive and social individuals and dogs. These are the traits our Moose Light drink-ers embody! This is a unique sport with a large following and we knew we needed to get involved. We’ve decked Henry out in a branded coat & collar, ensuring he looks top notch for competitions. His handler, Shauna Miller, will also represent the brand when travelling around Atlantic Canada competing.

We will follow Moose Light Henry in his journey and post updates along the way – give his Instagram page a follow to keep up: @mooselighthenry.

source: Innis & Gunn press release

In late 2017, Innis & Gunn chal-lenged Canadians to share their

ideas for the brand’s newest limited-edition beer. Thousands of flavour ideas poured in - but in the end, only one winning beer flavour would

make it to store shelves. In October, 2018, Strescon-Saint John’s Don Guimond saw his creation, “Don’s Choice”, arrive on store shelves across Canada.

The beer, a Black IPA with Coconut and Rhubarb, was brewed in Febru-

ary 2018 at the Innis & Gunn brewery in Scotland, by Guimond and Innis & Gunn Master Brewer Dougal Gunn Sharp. Guimond won the trip to the brewery after Sharp chose his flavour idea to be the brand’s newest limited-edition brew as part of Innis & Gunn’s “Imagine & Gunn” compe-tition. Guimond was the first-ever Canadian winner.

“I’m pinching myself”, said Guimond. “The opportunity to go to Scotland and join this legendary brewing team for a day was incredible enough. Seeing the beer actually arriving on store shelves? It’s really surreal.”

“We were intrigued by Don’s idea the moment we heard it. A Black IPA with Coconut and Rhubarb? It sounded just crazy enough to be delicious,” said Gunn Sharp. “It’s the perfect encapsulation of everything Innis & Gunn stands for: innovation, creativ-ity and incredible flavour. Don’s Choice is an awesome addition to our family of beers, and we can’t wait for Canadians to try it.”
