COMMERCIAL
PROJECTS
Just like a hockey team needs a deep roster to go far in the playoffs, Western Canadian
Steel (WCS) relies on a veteran team of managers and fieldworkers to skillfully and
safely carry out commercial projects to a high standard while remaining on schedule.
With the capacity to coordinate up to a 100 ironworkers, contractors and labourers on
half a dozen jobsites across Western Canada, WCS has developed a solid reputation
for following through on structural and pre-engineered steel building projects that
exceed clients’ expectations.
“Your name and reputation say a lot,” says owner Corey Ivanitz. “Our advantage is
we run a safe company so there’s no liability for the client. We prioritize safety and
quality, while meeting production schedules.”
As a sign of WCS’s dedication to worksite safety—which includes the implementation of
a company-wide audited safety program—we have been awarded the COR (Certificate
of Recognition) designation for Western Canada from the Construction Safety Alliance.
Years of experience allows WCS‘s management team to effectively communicate
project goals and timelines between office staff, field crews and clients to ensure your
project remains on schedule.
CUSTOM TRUCKS
SWIFT CURRENT, SK - WINTER 2014
Construction jobs that go off without a hitch are few and far
between. Staffing issues, weather, product delays and other
logistical pitfalls can easily set a project back. When WCS
built a custom truck dealership in the middle of winter
in Saskatchewan, they might have expected to
encounter one or two climatic hiccups. Instead,
the crews buckled down and finished the 80’
x 160’ building in six weeks—well ahead of
schedule. It just shows the lengths WCS
will go to satisfy our customers.
“WCS has now done several projects for Frontier.
I love the fact that I can give them a project and know
that the job will be completed on time and on budget.
The crews arrived well equipped and well prepared, and
persevered through rough Saskatchewan weather to ensure
that they were able to meet project deadlines. In fact, they
finished this project on budget and well ahead of schedule.”
Tim Ardley | Frontier Construction
NAT BAILEY STADIUM SEATING EXPANSION
VANCOUVER, BC - MAY 2015
When WCS was hired by Centaur Products to help with a bleacher and grandstand
expansion along the third-base line at the popular Nat Bailey Stadium, they
delivered a home run. With the Vancouver Canadians’ baseball home opener
a little over a month away, WCS worked within the project’s tight timelines and
completed the job ahead of schedule. Where some companies might have
been tempted to drag their heels on a cost-plus contract, we got our boots
moving — meeting and exceeding each of the project’s milestones.
“This letter is to recognize the great work of Western Canadian Steel
on the Nat Bailey Stadium seating expansion project. Their staff were
detailed, experienced and strongly committed to worksite safety.
This project had very tight timelines and they were a huge
contributor to completing the project on time and on budget.
We at Centaur Products would recommend their work
and would not hesitate to use their services again.”

INDUSTRIAL
PROJECTS
Worksite safety is an integral part of any industrial project, and it’s one of the reasons more
general contractors are turning to Western Canadian Steel (WCS) for their pre-engineered and
structural steel building solutions. Our company has developed a reputation for being able to
remain productive and on schedule while strictly adhering to the ongoing safety requirements
that protect the jobsite and all those working on it.
Safety is part of the culture at WCS. It trickles down from the top, starting with the
management team and continues down to the workforce. We have taken it upon ourselves
to safeguard our team by implementing a COR audited safety program.
Our experienced management team oversees everything from estimating to logistics to project
management—this enables our field crews to have the support they need to deliver a project on
time, and on budget—no matter the location.
WCS understands that corporations are heavily invested in their projects. When awarded
a project, we are completely committed to your success, and following through on a given
assignment is something WCS has become renowned and respected for.
Part of the reason we’re able to do this is that we have access to the skilled manpower needed
for even the biggest of jobs. Our in-house management team ensures they continually meet
the high standard of workmanship our clients have come to expect on every project.
HUSKY SUNRISE ENERGY
FORT MCMURRAY, AB - MAY 2014
Last-minute changes are common in the construction world, and companies that
can roll with those alterations can save clients a lot of time and money. When
WCS took over the erection of a partially completed steel building on the
Husky project, they started with 15 field workers. When Husky asked WCS
to ramp up the scheduling, we responded by more than doubling the
workforce—processing and transporting the additional crew to the
jobsite in less than two weeks. We’ve had as many as 40 workers
on this project during peak construction, which is a great
example of our workforce versatility.
“WCS came in and took this project over from another contractor, which can be extremely difficult. They didn’t miss a beat;
correcting deficiencies from previous work and keeping the project
moving smoothly and on schedule. When we asked WCS to ramp up their
workforce, they did so—quickly and efficiently. While this was the first project
we did with WCS, it definitely will not be the last.”

CERRO VERDE COPPER & MOLYBDENUM MINE
AREQUIPA, PERU - AUGUST 2014
WCS lent their project management expertise to this massive mining operation
that included 700 ironworkers. We quickly identified and addressed key barriers
to productivity and began implementing systems that streamlined logistics and
increased the project’s overall efficiency. Through the simple inclusion of a work
glove program for employees, WCS was able to drop the number of daily incident
reports drastically. Within six months, the client was already noticing the benefits
of the safety and productivity systems WCS put in place.
“ WCS has supported the Cerro Verde expansion project with
technical expertise in the areas of; construction execution, planning
for structural steel erection, and worksite efficiency analysis during the
civil and structural phases of construction in the grinding and flotation
areas of the project. That technical support played a key role in maintaining good productivity levels of the contractors’ workforces
and made a significant contribution to the improvement and
efficiency of the work-flow. WCS’s efforts in supporting
the mobilization of these services in Peru, under difficult
administrative conditions, speaks to the high quality
and flexibility of the WCS administration group.”
