TEAMWORK
At EKT, we realize that it takes many people to get a job done. We work closely with
everyone involved in a project to make sure the right things are getting done at the right
time. The time taken to properly plan out a job results in having the tools, equipment,
parts and pieces there when you need them.
EKT is proud of our safety record. Through Corey Beaucage, our safetyco-ordinator,
there is a clear conduit for information (questions, answers, updates, advisories and
training between the workers, management and the clients. We have developed our own
safety orientation video to ensure all of the basic messages that need to be conveyed are
done so consistently. Any additional information that needs to be presented is done as a
follow up to the video. We would be happy to discuss our safety program in more detail
with you at your convenience.
CONSTRUCTABILITY
EKT 90 Inc. Information Package

EKT has always been relied upon for advice and expertise in completing projects, so
much so that some clients have come to us in the design stage to assist in determining
how the equipment is going to be installed originally, and for our opinion on how to
maintain it in the future. We offer this as a standalone service or as part of the
construction phase of a project.
PROJECT - CHIP UNLOADING, STORAGE AND RECLAIM FACILITY
DRYDEN AND THUNDER BAY
This project involved installing two truck dumpers, a chip thickness screening system
(CTS), two seventy thousand ton stacker reclaimers and four thousand feet of conveyor.

PROJECT - EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION
RUBICON - COUCHENER
This > $200M project was completed on time and under budget in the spring of 2015.
The scope was to complete the installation of all surface equipment for an 1,800 ton/day
gold mine. EKTwas responsible for all of the mechanical and piping installation of all of
the above ground (excluding the existing shaft and head frame) for the mine.

PROJECT - TOPPING TURBINE INSTALLATION
DOMTAR - DRYDEN
This was a $7.5 M installation of a water treatment facility, condenser and 16MW
turbine. The water treatment and condenser portions were located in an area where
obsolete equipment had to be removed. The condenser had to make it to the 4th floor
with no interior access, so it was lifted and transferred to a temporary monorail from the
outside, and set into position with 4" to spare.

The job included spooling and installing the high pressure piping, hydraulics, stainless
steel water piping, and instrumentation tubing.

PROJECT - #6 POWER BOILER & HOG SYSTEM UPGRADE
BOWATER – THUNDER BAY
This was a $17M EPCM project undertaken with Bowater Thunder Bay to upgrade their
hog fuel handling and feed system; an upgrade to a the #6 power boiler; and upgrading
their ash handling system.
The bark system upgrades included designing supplying and installing a system for
handling and hogging the supplied hog fuel and delivering it to the boiler. The system
was designed with the equipment operators in mind – from loading the hog fuel in the
reclaimers, to cleaning up and spills, to maintenance on the equipment. The entire hog
system upgrade was done on the run with only a short shutdown required to isolate and
tie-in the system.
The boiler upgrade involved removing the bottom of the boiler, and installing a Detroit
Stoker Vibrating Grate system, along with upgrading the gas feed system.
The ash handling system upgrade included new ash conveyors and a state of the art ash
conditioner.
EKT worked with Cook Engineering, Peterson Electric, and Alstom Canada, along with
many other suppliers to complete this project.
Completed hog feed system tied into existing building and conveyor system.

PROJECT – TURBINE REBUILDS
KIMBERLY CLARK – TERRACE BAY
WEYERHAEUSER - DRYDEN
EKT has teamed with Interpro Tech (www.interpro-tech.com) on several occasions to
combine their turbine expertise and our quality workmanship to rebuild turbines. We
work around the clock to ensure the shortest outage possible. Our client’s have always
been pleased with the results. Our clients on these projects include: Kimberly Clark
(22MW) – Terrace Bay, Weyerhaeuser (24MW) - Dryden and Trans-Alta (115MW) Fort
MacMurray.

PROJECT – BATCH DIGESTER REPLACEMENT
KIMBERLY CLARK – TERRACE BAY
This was a $6M project to replace 11 existing, worn out digesters with new, larger
vessels. The standard practice was to demolish the existing vessel in place, and build the
new vessel in place in sections. EKT was able to remove the existing vessel in one piece,
and install the new 70’ high - 75 ton vessel in one piece, all with less than 2” clearance in
some areas. All this was done while only taking the vessel out of service for 2 weeks
(can be up to 2 months the traditional way). Capacity was increased by 13%.

PROJECT – FRP VAT REPLACEMENT
BOWATER – THUNDER BAY
A project we are very proud of is the replacing of concrete and tile vats with a fiberglass
vat system. The following is an excerpt from our brochure:
Advanced Composite Bleach Washer Vat Alternative
EKT Industrial Contractors and FRP Systems are proud to jointly offer innovative and
proven technology to address the severe corrosion problems of bleach pulp washer vats in
a cost effective way.
EKT and FRP together will design, manufacture and install a new composite washer vat,
replacing your exiting concrete and tile washer vat. Existing drive and related washer
components are incorporated in the design and installation is completed during a
conventional maintenance outage.
A typical composite washer vat installation requires a stock-to-stock shutdown of 10
days, with work proceeding around the clock. The assembly portion requires 2-3 weeks
on site and the design and manufacture of the vat takes 5 months.

PROJECT – OXYGEN REACTOR
KIMBERLY CLARK – TERRACE BAY
EKT installed two oxygen reactors at Kimberly Clark in Terrace Bay. The vessels
themselves were 130’ and 110’ high and fabricated from duplex stainless steel. The
associated stainless steel piping for the process was extensive and the majority was
fabricated (spooled) in our Thunder Bay shop and shipped for installation in Terrace Bay.
The entire project took 5 months and was completed under budget.

PROJECT – HARDWOOD STACKER BEARING CHANGE
BOWATER – THUNDER BAY
BOWATER – DALHOUSIE, NEW BRUNSWICK
DOMTAR - DRYDEN & ESPANOLA
This project was the result of a failed bearing in a chip stacker/reclaimer. The 14’
diameter bearing required 800 tons to be lifted 1” in order to remove the damaged
bearing and install the new one. EKT worked closely with the client and the consulting
engineer to ensure the project minimized the impact on the client’s schedule, and was
done safely. Everything was taken into consideration including placing the chip pile in
the correct position to minimize the effect of the wind on the job.
