Benefits of Working with ATCO
Our company history is
about your future
We are a part of the ATCO Group of Companies. Formed
in 1947 in Alberta, Canada by father S.D. and son R.D.
Southern, and known as Alberta Trailer Hire, we provided
workforce housing during Canada’s first oil boom.
What we did back then is still a part of what we do now.
Known as ATCO Structures & Logistics since 2009, we
have worked with companies and governments around the
world to provide workforce housing, innovative modular
facilities, site support services, facilities operations and
maintenance, and logistics services.

Aboriginal Relationships:
Building a shared future
Fjardaal Team Village
ATCO Structures & Logistics received an honourable mention from the
Modular Building Institute for the design, manufacture and installation
of the Frjardaal Team Village, a 100-person pioneer camp and a
1,500 person construction camp in Reydarjordur, Eastern Iceland.
ATCO designed the buildings for the extreme conditions – including
cold temperatures and strong wind chill. Wind shelters were built
at each building entrance, and common areas were built with large
windows to allow for as much natural light as possible.
Dormitories were designed with a common area which included a
kitchenette and small meeting room. The buildings were grouped in
pods of eight, with each pod containing a recreation area.
Bedrooms were designed with peak acoustical performance and
extensive insulation ensuring energy efficiency. All outside lights are
photo-sensitive and only activate during periods of darkness.
Aboriginal Relationships
Many of the resource industries and companies we serve
operate in or near Aboriginal communities. We take our
responsibility to the communities affected by our operations
extremely seriously. Since 1987, ATCO has been creating
highly successful Aboriginal partnerships throughout Canada
and Alaska.

local relationships economically benefit all involved and
working in harmony with local communities is the simply the
right thing to do.
This means you can be sure you’re operating with a
company that has deep, successful and sustainable
relationships with local communities.
The ATCO approach: creating opportunities and leaving legacies
• We support community growth through training, education and development
• We create jobs and support local businesses
• We respect and consult with key stakeholders
• We always recognize cultural and environmental rights
• We enhance local capacity, bringing opportunities to Aboriginal nations

• Maintenance of radars and helicopter travel to site for regular maintenance from five logistics support sites
• 24/7 remote monitor and control of radar sites from the North Warning System Support Centre
• Design engineering
Canada
CFS Alert on Ellesmere Island is composed of
90 buildings, over 22,500 square metres, which
provide all the necessary facilities to live and
work in the Arctic environment on a permanent
basis. ATCO provided site-support services,
program management and administration
support to the Canadian Government for the
operation and maintenance of CFS Alert.
Demonstrating Advanced
Operational Capabilities
Nasittuq is a company with annual revenue
of $70M with an average 250 full time
employees dedicated to North Warning
System and close to 60 rotational full time
employees dedicated to the support of CFS
Alert.
Canada Winter Games
One unique aspect of Nasittuq is its Inuit
workforce, which comprises almost 20% of
the total permanent workforce and close to
35% of our part-time workforce.
ATCO Structures & Logistics’ excellence in combining stick-built
construction with factory-built modular units was one of the key
attributes that won the company the contract to build a three-storey,
141 module complex for the Canada Winter Games.
This complex was designed to serve two purposes –to provide
temporary, safe, comfortable housing for 3,500 athletes participating
in the 2007 Canada Winter Games, and to provide permanent housing
to address a shortage of accommodations for students at Yukon
College and seniors in the area.
Key features of the facility included construction techniques to
eliminate noise between suites, triple pane windows to reduce heat
loss and manage energy costs and a unique exterior finish that
reflected the client’s architectural vision.
The complex was designed and produced to address tight
production timelines and local labour shortages. The modules were
manufactured off-site at ATCO’s Calgary manufacturing plant and
shipped to Whitehorse for final assembly.

Operations Support & Airfield Services
Canada
Canada
In 1955, the Distant Early Warning
(DEW) Line was created, controlled
and funded by the United States
for 30 years.
Canada became involved in 1985,
with the implementation of the
North Warning System (NWS). The
NWS is a network of radars, which
“look out” from Canada’s North to
detect airborne threats to North
America, enhancing our security
and sovereignty. The NWS consists
of 11 long-range radar sites and
36 short-range radar sites.
With the creation of NWS, there was
an increase in Inuit participation,
which was supported by Indian and
Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) and
the Department of Defence (DND).
In 1987, Frontec Logistics (which then
became ATCO Frontec) was awarded
the Operations & Maintenance
contract for the NWS. There was a
gradual increase in Inuit business
development, with improvement
in their capabilities and training
opportunities.
A Joint Venture That Keeps
Canada Safe
ATCO had a vision of creating a
Canadian world-class technical services
company providing operations and
technical services in communications,
radar and electronics to a national and
international clientele.
In 1994, ATCO Frontec (now ATCO
Structures & Logistics) partnered with
the Pan Arctic Inuit Logistics Corporation
(PAIL) to form Nasittuq Corporation, a
50-50 Joint Venture.
From this partnership, a junior level
training program and a senior technical
development program were developed.
These programs were put in place to
encourage beneficiaries to participate in
the project as employees.
From 2001-2014, the North Warning
System (NWS) employed Nasittuq to
operate and maintain the North Warning
System. An integral component of ATCO
Structures & Logistics’ initial contract
award and contract extensions, was its
commitment to providing what were
then defined as northern benefits:
contracts and employment opportunities
for northerners.
Nasittuq also provides site support and
management services for the Ellesmere
Island commercial support contract in
Alert, Nunavut.
Nasittuq’s mission is to provide
exemplary technical and management
services to our Canadian and U.S.
Government customers, while
increasing opportunities for Inuit
participation as trainees, employees,
suppliers and owners. Participation is
also reflected in the re-investment of
project earnings received based on
the equity position held by the Inuit
corporations.
Through the appointment of PAIL
officers as Directors on the Nasittuq
Board, the Inuit have an active role in
the governance and management of
Nasittuq Corporation.
Delivering a Range of Services
The North Warning System detects
aircraft and cruise missiles flying
within its radar coverage volume use
two types of radar. All radar sites
operate unattended, are powered by
diesel electronic generators, and are
connected to the outside world by
satellite ground terminals.
Iqaluit Airport
In 1999, ATCO Structures & Logistics was selected to provide
operation and maintenance services for the Iqaluit airport.
Specific areas of responsibility include:
• 24 hour security services
• roads and grounds maintenance
• facility maintenance
• mechanical services
• coordination of wildlife control
• janitorial services
• boiler and generator maintenance
• navigation system maintenance
• passenger transport
The remote location and its severe weather made the project
challenging. Snowfall in Nunavut averages 235 cm per year and
the area experiences severe winter blizzards with wind gusts
exceeding 100 kilometres per hour.

Permanent Operations Facility
United States
Quality control – Managing product quality
standards.
Safety and security – Providing emergency
response and ongoing security to ensure the
protection of the surrounding communities and
the fuel and fuel storage facility.
Fuel trucks provision – Provide and maintain
sufficient number of fuel trucks for the delivery
of petroleum. This includes the provision of
specialist equipment that may be required
for dispensing aviation products at the Iqaluit
airport.
With large volumes of petroleum being bought,
sold, contained and distributed, there are
clearly high risk factors involved. Safety is our
number one priority.
The Iqaluit tank facility has a capacity of 79
million litres and not only meets the refueling
needs for the airport, a critical refueling stop for
international flights crossing the North Atlantic,
but also satisfies the needs of the community,
which has a population of nearly 6,500.
Nikaitchuq Onshore
Base Camp Facility
ATCO Structures & Logistics is adept at
managing situations where efficiency and
operational control are essential.
ATCO Structures & Logistics was contracted by Eni to manufacture
a custom 50-person permanent operating camp for Nikaitchuq oil
field operations.
The camp consisted of 36 modules that were manufactured in
Calgary and compliant with Alaskan building codes. ASL worked
closely with Eni to design modules to their exact requirements.
The design incorporates a two-storey dormitory complex with a
second building dedicated to camp services and recreation. Built
from newly manufactured modular units, it includes bedrooms,
bathrooms, a kitchen, a dining room, an exercise room, lounge and
offices.
Oliktok Point is located on Alaska’s North Slope, 400 miles north
of Fairbanks. It was essential that the modules be designed to
withstand extreme cold weather conditions and heavy snow
loads. This facility utilized Insulated Siding Panels which doubled
the inherent R-values of exterior wall surfaces over standard
construction methods.
As with all remote facilities, the usage of space is a key
concern. With blended occupancies (kitchen, office, sleeping
areas) contained within a single structure, Sound Transmissions
Coefficients (STC) are always a concern. Eni required STC ratings
of 64 which is typically found in conventional construction of hotel
complexes. ATCO was able to meet STC 64, a level not normally
achieved in modular construction.

• Logistics support including provision of
all of NorthwesTel and ATCO’s air charter requirements for network site
maintenance activities, through
contracts with air carriers in 15
northern communities.
• Reducing NorthwesTel’s operations and maintenance costs where possible, through reduction of site emergency trips, economies of scale with other
ATCO Group companies and more efficient operating methods
The remote site locations and the extreme
nature of the weather require us to take
additional steps and precautions during
operations:
Weather monitoring – Tracking weather
patterns throughout the operating area by
location and/or time of year.
Assessing road conditions – Monitoring
road conditions and accessibility to
locations at any time during the year.
NorthwesTel Inc. (a subsidiary
of Bell Canada) provides
telecommunications services
to a population of 110,000
in the Northwest Territories,
northern British Columbia and
the Yukon. NorthwesTel is the

cellular telephone services in
this region–an operating area of
3.9 million square kilometers.
(ATCO) is involved in the operation
and maintenance of the facilities,
towers and power generating
systems at 154 NorthwesTel
microwave sites (including
seven Bell Mobility microwave
towers in northern BC). ATCO
has extensive knowledge and
capabilities throughout this region.
People Connected
ATCO has a long and successful history of
building effective partnerships, including
those with Aboriginal communities. The
NorthwesTel project is no different: a
50/50 joint venture with ATCO Structures
& Logistics and the Northern Aboriginal
Services Company (NASCo).
The joint venture signed a 10-year contract
with NorthwesTel in 1998 and this was
renewed in 2007 for an additional 10
years – a testament to the success of

operation are demanding. With some
sites over 40 years old, and 46 of the 154
sites accessible only by helicopter, the
challenges are apparent.
Demanding performance targets – The
contract includes a performance-based
element, that power outages must remain
below 500 minutes per month. Not only
was NASCo able to reach these targets,
we improved performance. We upgraded
generators, addressed design issues,
reduced the backlog of overhauls and
scheduled maintenance to proactively
raise standards.
Project Achievements and the
Value Added
At ATCO, we work tirelessly with our
partners to meet our contractual
obligations – but we also strive to go
beyond what is expected.
Reducing fuel costs – With 1.8 million
litres of diesel fuel consumed each year,
NASCo saw an opportunity to save money.
We obtained the best possible price by
retendering the project’s fuel needs. We
also manage bulk fuel up to and including
the change in value of the fuel inventory
each month.
Drive down charter costs – In order
to ferry staff and supply fuel to such
a large area (3.9 million kilometres), a
significant number of helicopter and fixed
wing aircraft journeys are required. By
coordinating efficient transport activity we
reduced the air charter costs by $100,000
per year.

airport.
With large volumes of petroleum being bought,
sold, contained and distributed, there are
clearly high risk factors involved. Safety is our
number one priority.
The Iqaluit tank facility has a capacity of 79
million litres and not only meets the refueling
needs for the airport, a critical refueling stop for
international flights crossing the North Atlantic,
but also satisfies the needs of the community,
which has a population of nearly 6,500.
Nikaitchuq Onshore
Base Camp Facility
ATCO Structures & Logistics is adept at
managing situations where efficiency and
operational control are essential.
ATCO Structures & Logistics was contracted by Eni to manufacture
a custom 50-person permanent operating camp for Nikaitchuq oil
field operations.
The camp consisted of 36 modules that were manufactured in
Calgary and compliant with Alaskan building codes. ASL worked
closely with Eni to design modules to their exact requirements.
The design incorporates a two-storey dormitory complex with a
second building dedicated to camp services and recreation. Built
from newly manufactured modular units, it includes bedrooms,
bathrooms, a kitchen, a dining room, an exercise room, lounge and
offices.
Oliktok Point is located on Alaska’s North Slope, 400 miles north
of Fairbanks. It was essential that the modules be designed to
withstand extreme cold weather conditions and heavy snow
loads. This facility utilized Insulated Siding Panels which doubled
the inherent R-values of exterior wall surfaces over standard
construction methods.
As with all remote facilities, the usage of space is a key
concern. With blended occupancies (kitchen, office, sleeping
areas) contained within a single structure, Sound Transmissions
Coefficients (STC) are always a concern. Eni required STC ratings
of 64 which is typically found in conventional construction of hotel
complexes. ATCO was able to meet STC 64, a level not normally
achieved in modular construction.

Nasittuq
Operations Support & Airfield Services
Canada
Canada
In 1955, the Distant Early Warning
(DEW) Line was created, controlled
and funded by the United States
for 30 years.
Canada became involved in 1985,
with the implementation of the
North Warning System (NWS). The
NWS is a network of radars, which
“look out” from Canada’s North to
detect airborne threats to North
America, enhancing our security
and sovereignty. The NWS consists
of 11 long-range radar sites and
36 short-range radar sites.
With the creation of NWS, there was
an increase in Inuit participation,
which was supported by Indian and
Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) and
the Department of Defence (DND).
In 1987, Frontec Logistics (which then
became ATCO Frontec) was awarded
the Operations & Maintenance
contract for the NWS. There was a
gradual increase in Inuit business
development, with improvement
in their capabilities and training
opportunities.
Canada Safe
ATCO had a vision of creating a
Canadian world-class technical services
company providing operations and
technical services in communications,
radar and electronics to a national and
international clientele.
In 1994, ATCO Frontec (now ATCO
Structures & Logistics) partnered with
the Pan Arctic Inuit Logistics Corporation
(PAIL) to form Nasittuq Corporation, a
50-50 Joint Venture.
From this partnership, a junior level
training program and a senior technical
development program were developed.
These programs were put in place to
encourage beneficiaries to participate in
the project as employees.
From 2001-2014, the North Warning
System (NWS) employed Nasittuq to
operate and maintain the North Warning
System. An integral component of ATCO
Structures & Logistics’ initial contract
award and contract extensions, was its
commitment to providing what were
then defined as northern benefits:
contracts and employment opportunities
for northerners.
Nasittuq also provides site support and
management services for the Ellesmere
Island commercial support contract in
Alert, Nunavut.
Nasittuq’s mission is to provide
exemplary technical and management
services to our Canadian and U.S.
Government customers, while
increasing opportunities for Inuit
participation as trainees, employees,
suppliers and owners. Participation is
also reflected in the re-investment of
project earnings received based on
the equity position held by the Inuit
corporations.
Through the appointment of PAIL
officers as Directors on the Nasittuq
Board, the Inuit have an active role in
the governance and management of
Nasittuq Corporation.
Delivering a Range of Services
The North Warning System detects
aircraft and cruise missiles flying
within its radar coverage volume use
two types of radar. All radar sites
operate unattended, are powered by
diesel electronic generators, and are
connected to the outside world by
satellite ground terminals.
Iqaluit Airport
In 1999, ATCO Structures & Logistics was selected to provide
operation and maintenance services for the Iqaluit airport.
Specific areas of responsibility include:
• 24 hour security services
• roads and grounds maintenance
• facility maintenance
• mechanical services
• coordination of wildlife control
• janitorial services
• boiler and generator maintenance
• navigation system maintenance
• passenger transport
The remote location and its severe weather made the project
challenging. Snowfall in Nunavut averages 235 cm per year and
the area experiences severe winter blizzards with wind gusts
exceeding 100 kilometres per hour.

CFS Alert on Ellesmere Island is composed of
90 buildings, over 22,500 square metres, which
provide all the necessary facilities to live and
work in the Arctic environment on a permanent
basis. ATCO provided site-support services,
program management and administration
support to the Canadian Government for the
operation and maintenance of CFS Alert.
Nasittuq is a company with annual revenue
of $70M with an average 250 full time
employees dedicated to North Warning
System and close to 60 rotational full time
employees dedicated to the support of CFS
Alert.
Canada Winter Games
One unique aspect of Nasittuq is its Inuit
workforce, which comprises almost 20% of
the total permanent workforce and close to
35% of our part-time workforce.
ATCO Structures & Logistics’ excellence in combining stick-built
construction with factory-built modular units was one of the key
attributes that won the company the contract to build a three-storey,
141 module complex for the Canada Winter Games.
This complex was designed to serve two purposes –to provide
temporary, safe, comfortable housing for 3,500 athletes participating
in the 2007 Canada Winter Games, and to provide permanent housing
to address a shortage of accommodations for students at Yukon
College and seniors in the area.
Key features of the facility included construction techniques to
eliminate noise between suites, triple pane windows to reduce heat
loss and manage energy costs and a unique exterior finish that
reflected the client’s architectural vision.
The complex was designed and produced to address tight
production timelines and local labour shortages. The modules were
manufactured off-site at ATCO’s Calgary manufacturing plant and
shipped to Whitehorse for final assembly.

Aboriginal Relationships:
Building a shared future
Fjardaal Team Village
ATCO Structures & Logistics received an honourable mention from the
Modular Building Institute for the design, manufacture and installation
of the Frjardaal Team Village, a 100-person pioneer camp and a
1,500 person construction camp in Reydarjordur, Eastern Iceland.
ATCO designed the buildings for the extreme conditions – including
cold temperatures and strong wind chill. Wind shelters were built
at each building entrance, and common areas were built with large
windows to allow for as much natural light as possible.
Dormitories were designed with a common area which included a
kitchenette and small meeting room. The buildings were grouped in
pods of eight, with each pod containing a recreation area.
Bedrooms were designed with peak acoustical performance and
extensive insulation ensuring energy efficiency. All outside lights are
photo-sensitive and only activate during periods of darkness.
Aboriginal Relationships
Many of the resource industries and companies we serve
operate in or near Aboriginal communities. We take our
responsibility to the communities affected by our operations
extremely seriously. Since 1987, ATCO has been creating
highly successful Aboriginal partnerships throughout Canada
and Alaska.

Location: Reydarfjordur, Eastern Iceland
Client: Bechtel Inc.
Owner: Alcoa Inc.
Square Footage: 349,827 sq.ft.
Social responsibility is an important part of our operational
philosophy—and for two very good reasons: building strong
local relationships economically benefit all involved and
working in harmony with local communities is the simply the
right thing to do.
This means you can be sure you’re operating with a
company that has deep, successful and sustainable
relationships with local communities.
The ATCO approach: creating opportunities and leaving legacies
• We support community growth through training, education and development
• We create jobs and support local businesses
• We respect and consult with key stakeholders
• We always recognize cultural and environmental rights
• We enhance local capacity, bringing opportunities to Aboriginal nations
• Together we create and share new revenue streams
• Community investment leads to growth in relationships
and a prosperous future
In summary, we bring real economic and social benefits to
the communities we work in.
