Supermetal Announces 2 Major Oilsands Structural Steel Contracts
LEDUC, AB - Supermetal is pleased to announce the signing of 2 major structural steel contracts in the Alberta Oilsands vicinity with Devon Energy for the Jackfish 2 SAGD project and EllisDon Construction for the Suncor Voyageur administration building.
The Jackfish 2 contract was signed with Devon Energy spawned from the success of the original Jackfish structural steel contract. The new contract is for the supply of 3600 tons of fabricated structural steel comprising of piperacks, a process building and equipment modules. Jackfish 2 will be a stand alone SAGD plant adjacent to the original site 15 kilometers SE of the town of Conklin. The site is in the initial phases of construction with first oil anticipated in 2010 and a ramp-up capacity of 35,000 barrels per day.
The Suncor Voyageur administration building is a contract of firsts for Supermetal; the company will be working with EllisDon's Edmonton branch and indirectly for Suncor Energy for the first time. Located 20km north of Fort McMurray, the 286,000-square-foot administrative building is an eight-story steel tower that will be comprised of 3,000 tons of steel structure. Supermetal's construction subsidiary Supermetal-Mojan based in Leduc, Alberta, will be performing the site erection. The total Suncor Voyageur village project is valued at $153M and expected to be completed in 2011.
"The Devon project represents the benefit of our previous performance from Jackfish 1 and our ability to meet a tight schedule. The Voyageur admin building will be a stepping stone in developing a strong working relationship with the parties involved. We look forward to excelling at both projects in the next 6 months and continue to broaden our experience in Alberta", said Jean-Francois Blouin, General Manager for Supermetal.
