Kinedyne nomme un distributeur pour le Japon TDS a été fondé en 1980 et s’est concentré sur l’industrie du transport depuis trois décennies. L’entente entre Kinedyne et TDS a été conclue entre James M. Klausmann II, vice-président exécutif de Kinedyne, et Fumihiko Kaga, président de TDS Corporation, aux installations de production de Kinedyne à Nantong en Chine.

Le personnel de TDS a reçu une formation exhaustive sur les produits et procédures de fabrication de Kinedyne préalablement à ce programme. La formation garantit que tout produit d’arrimage assemblé par TDS avec des composantes de Kinedyne, comme la quincaillerie et les courroies, rencontreront les normes de performances auxquelles s’attendent les utilisateurs de produits Kinedyne.
Supermétal signe deux contrats dans l’Ouest canadien «Notre présence de longue date dans l’Ouest canadien continue d’alimenter notre croissance. Pour fournir à la demande, nous avons besoin de soudeurs, d’assembleurs et de journaliers additionnels à Québec et à Sherbrooke en particulier», a déclaré Jean-François Blouin, président-directeur général de Supermétal. La firme à qui l’on doit la construction du Colisée de Québec au début des années 1980 a fait l’acquisition, en 2010, d’une première usine aux États-Unis, en Caroline du Nord. Celle-ci s’avère un franc succès avec une centaine d’employés fort occupés, eux aussi, à satisfaire le carnet de commande bien garni de l’entreprise. En Alberta, Supermétal s’est vu confier le mandat de fabriquer et d’ériger la charpente d’acier de 5600 t du nouveau terminal international de l’aéroport de Calgary dont le style et les attributs sont des plus esthétiques et modernes, notamment sur le plan environnemental. Ce bâtiment majeur de cinq étages sera relié à 22 quais d’embarquement et nécessitera au total un investissement de 1,4 milliard $. Le tout doit être complété en 2014. En Saskatchewan, Supermétal a obtenu le mandat de fabriquer une charpente d’acier de 10 000 t devant servir à l’agrandissement d’une usine de potasse à proximité de Saskatoon. Le projet comprend plusieurs bâtiments soutenant les activités de compaction et de triage de potasse qui doubleront la capacité de production. Supermétal est un manufacturier canadien bien établi qui se spécialise dans la fabrication et l’installation de charpentes métalliques destinées à des immeubles commerciaux et bâtiments industriels.

Industry News City of Moscow Places Major Order for Municipal Vehicles Sweepers and winter maintenance equipment from Bucher Municipal have been keeping Moscow’s streets, squares and pavements safe and clean for decades now. Key factors in the City’s decision to purchase from Bucher Municipal, besides the attractive price/performance ratio, were the many years of good experience with its products, in particular their reliability, simple operation and manoeuvrability, its efficient service and the capability to deliver the large order in a short time before the end of May 2012. Another strong competitive advantage was the opportunity for the sales partners to generate considerable local added value. In addition to purchasing locally made chassis for the truck-mounted sweepers and spreaders as well as plows and other components manufactured in Russia, the sales partners are also responsible for final assembly of the truck-mounted sweepers and spreaders. The machinery will be delivered to the City of Moscow in several phases. Bucher Municipal will provide specialized personnel on site to support and supervise all work on the large-scale project. About 20% of this major order will already impact sales in the fourth quarter of 2011 and 80% in the first half of 2012. At the Swiss plant in Niederweningen, it has been agreed with employee representatives that the longer working week, increased from 40 to 42.5 hours since August 2011, will continue until May 31, 2012. On successful completion of the major order from Moscow, all members of staff who clock in and out for work will be paid a special bonus. Bucher Municipal is the European and Australian market leader in municipal vehicles, offering a whole range of compact and truck-mounted sweepers, winter maintenance equipment and refuse collection vehicles.
Kinedyne appoints Distributor for Japan TDS was established in 1980 and has been focused on the transportation industry in Japan for more than three decades. The agreement between Kinedyne and TDS was executed between James M. Klausmann II, executive vice president of Kinedyne, and Fumihiko Kaga, president of TDS Corporation, at Kinedyne’s manufacturing facility in Nantong, China. TDS is known throughout Japan for its efforts – working with vendor partners – to develop new and innovative cargo securement solutions to meet the unique needs of companies focused on the transportation industry. “We’re proud of our new relationship with a respected company like TDS Corporation,” says Larry Harrison, Kinedyne’s Vice President of Sales & Marketing. “It brings a wealth of experience and knowledge of the trucking industry and load securement requirements in its market to our new relationship.” Harrison went on to detail the high expectations of customers in Japan related to product quality. He indicates that Kinedyne is in the process of implementing refinements to many of the company’s existing products, so they will be suitable for use by – and meet the unique needs of – users in the Japanese trucking industry. Harrison explained that these design revisions will benefit new customers in Japan – as well as existing customers in North America – through the improved functionality that will be incorporated into the company’s standard product line. The licensing agreement – one of the first of its kind with a Kinedyne distribution partner – gives TDS full access to Kinedyne quality and production standards. TDS staff members were provided comprehensive training on products and fabrication procedures prior to the launch of the program. The training insures that any tie-down assembled by TDS using Kinedyne components – such as hardware and webbing – will meet the performance standards that end-users have come to expect from a Kinedyne product.

Landscape Ontario supports push for One Call Act “This important legislation is welcome news for our industry members, who want Ontarians to reap the benefit of a system that reduces the regulatory burden for business, offers taxpayers the benefit of cost savings through accident prevention and will improve public and worker safety in Ontario,” said Landscape Ontario executive director Tony DiGiovanni. “Ontario has an urgent need for a mandatory one-call system,” said Mr. DiGiovanni. “Ontarians sent a clear message during the October provincial election that they want this minority legislature to work together. This One Call initiative is a perfect illustration of the positive impact that cooperation and collaboration between political parties can offer to taxpayers.” The Ontario One Call Act would make it mandatory for all utility asset owners and excavators to use a single one-call system to locate all underground utility lines before digging. If passed, the bill would establish Ontario One Call Ltd., as a not-for-profit call center that would be the single point of contact for all underground utility location services in the province. Safety is at a serious risk for members of the public and workers alike when utility lines, such as buried pipelines or hydro lines, are struck or damaged because homeowners, building contractors and other excavators do not obtain the precise location of lines before they dig, according to Landscape Ontario. “Ontario’s current, voluntary approach does not leverage the potential of a well-organized one-call system,” said Mr. DiGiovanni. “The efficiency of a one-call program will enhance safety, reduce costs and wait times, and will act as a catalyst for continuous improvement. Mandatory One Call systems are in place in all 50 American states. In New York State, they have half the number of incidents than we do in Ontario, even though they have a larger population base. This is an important testimonial to the benefits of a one-call system.” In the coming days, Landscape Ontario will communicate directly with all Ontario MPPs, urging them to work together in a spirit of collaboration and cooperation to ensure that The Ontario One Call Act is passed during this legislative session.
Eaton Wins Contract to Modernize Power Generating Facility The United States and Canada have shared the Niagara River’s water power for nearly half a century. The Niagara Power Project will continue to produce steady supplies of clean, carbon-free hydroelectricity for another 50 years under a federal operating license. The agreement will include the design, manufacturing, delivery, installation and commission of 12 unit control boards and governor controls. Eaton will replace the original electro-mechanical devices with modern digital technology, including microprocessing capability, new instrumentation and alarms, and will also upgrade the unit governing system and replace the plant’s unit protective relaying system. LPGP modernizations will occur under a schedule providing for the overhaul of a turbine generator every eight to nine months, with the final unit completed in 2020. The initiative also supports New York State’s Renewable Portfolio Standard, which calls for at least 25% of the state’s electricity to come from clean, renewable sources such as hydroelectric power by 2013. “The Niagara Power Project is the largest electricity producer in New York, and one of the largest in the nation,” explained Kevin McLean, Eaton senior vice president, Global Marketing, Electrical Sector. “Eaton’s expertise in electrical efficiency, reliability and safety help ensure that it will meet the evolving demands of its vast customer base and continue to supply low-cost, sustainable power for years to come.” Pumped-storage facilities like the Lewiston Pump Generating Plant provide a critical energy storage buffer between the ever-changing customer loads and the availability of sustainable hydro power. Eaton’s solution will provide a sophisticated level of control for the facility’s existing electrical components, some dating back to 1961 when the Niagara Project was first placed into service. Eaton’s electrical business is a global leader in power distribution, power quality, control and automation, power monitoring, and energy management products and services. Eaton is positioned, through its Cutler-Hammer®, Moeller®, Powerware®, Holec®, MEM®, and Santak® global electrical product series, to answer today’s most critical electrical power management challenges.
North America’s first ISO 50001 certification for energy management Cement plants consume significant amounts of energy; plants as large as Bowmanville operate 24/7 with a rated capacity of over 1.8 million t of product. This responsibility was not taken lightly by Fabio Garcia, manager of Plant Operations, who back in 2005 laid out a strategy for an integrated approach to reducing the plant’s energy consumption. “Employee awareness of the costs of various operations and procedures and training programs paid big dividends,” Mr. Garcia observed. “Other important steps were engaging 360 Energy of Burlington Ontario and establishing an energy management and conservation committee, that we call E=MC2. With representatives from Finance, HR, Environment, Quality Control, Maintenance, Mining and Production departments, the Committee identified and acted upon over 100 separate energy efficiency initiatives. Much of the energy savings required little capital expenditure or were done at no cost.” Jim Storey, Electrical Maintenance manager and E=MC2 co-leader observed, “Since 2005, we have reduced electricity consumption by over 11 million kWh (approximately the same amount of energy used by 1100 Canadian homes in one year) with over $3 million in savings. We modified our existing systems and developed programs in-house to maximize internal and external opportunities in Energy Management.” Fabio Garcia concluded, “The energy conservation elements of ISO 50001 certification means we are on track for over $1 million in savings in 2011. The commitment of everyone working at St Marys Bowmanville day-in and day-out is why we are the first North American site to receive this certification. I want to thank each and every one of them.”
Ptarmigan Energy Secures Offshore Rights in Western Newfoundland and Labrador President and CEO Craig Boland says this reinforces Ptarmigan’s commitment to offshore Newfoundland and Labrador. “We are excited about the industry opportunities that exist in the offshore, and with this investment we are committed to moving forward with the acquisition of a 1,000 km2 3D seismic program and the drilling an offshore well within the next two years on prospects already identified.” Ptarmigan currently holds EL 1120 on 140,100 ha north of the Port au Port Peninsula and south of the Bay of Islands. This latest acquisition increases their licence offshore Western Newfoundland to 494,088 ha. The parcels have nearby oil wells and strong hydrocarbon indications. Leo Power, vice president Business Development, and chair of the Board of Directors says “Our vision is to be a leading and responsible industry player in facilitating the discovery and production of oil resources in Western Newfoundland. With this acquisition Ptarmigan is strengthening its ties to the province and is pleased to invest in such a highly accessible, industry friendly region.”
