Check Out What We’re Doing in Prince Rupert!

New Grain Container Stuffing Facility

grain container

Ray-Mont Logistics called Mainland when they wanted to complete a challenging and time sensitive project.

Ray-Mont Logistics is expanding and taking advantage of new transportation routes opening up in Prince Rupert. A new partnership between Ray-Mont Logistics, CN and the Port of Prince Rupert will see the development and building of a new grain container stuffing facility up and running for the 2017/2018 grain crop.

Located on Ridley Island, in the Road, Rail & Utility Corridor, it is the only unit train stuffing facility on Canada’s West Coast. A large endeavor for all involved, it will be capable of handling unit trains and pulse crops for container stuffing and forwarding to final destination.

We are very happy to be working alongside Ray-Mont on this entrepreneurial move to set up the first of it’s kind facility on the West Coast, and are looking forward to continued collaborating on the project.

This is a time sensitive project, with Engineering starting in February and the new facility to be commissioned in September.

We look forward to sharing more as the project advances!

Breakdown? Emergency Repair Needed? We Can Help!

INDUSTRIAL SERVICES AND EMERGENCY REPAIR WORK

Whether an unplanned shutdown, equipment breakdown, or you need a Millwright on site, you want repairs and work to move ahead in a timely manner with limited downtime. We all know the significant costs that are associated with extended downtime and plant closures – and we all want to avoid them. Even a planned shutdown is a risky process, and needs to be carefully planned for, and every possible situation taken into account.

In James R. Koelsch’s article How to Keep Shutdowns From Becoming Disasters, he touches on some very interesting points regarding “inability to recognize risks and the lack of systems specifically designed for startups”. Many are unprepared to deal with shutdowns and unexpected issues on larger scale, no matter how much is done to avoid them.

You may not have the internal man-power, technical knowledge, or time to try to solve the issue at hand. Thankfully, there are others who are well set up for such events and are at the ready to assist.

A well-versed, prepared Field and Industrial Services Team will have the safety qualifications, technical knowledge, and year of experience to ensure that whatever your issue at hand is will be dealt with promptly and properly.

With our dedicated Field Crew of Millwrights, Welders and Fabricators available at the ready, Mainland is here to help. Our field personnel have the latest safety certifications, have a wide range of industry experience, and are comfortable working in many industrial settings.

Don’t be caught off guard by an equipment breakdown or unforeseen shutdown; let Mainland’s Industrial Services Team help get you back up and running with minimal downtime.

To learn more about Mainland’s Industrial Services Team and the emergency repair solutions offered, check out the website, or give us a call. We would be glad to discuss preventative measures, provide an inspection report, or head out to help.

Gord Lawley Retires!

After putting in over 26 years of dedicated service at Mainland Machinery, Gord Lawley finally decided to retire.

Gord had numerous roles: driver, detail production, sandblasting, painting and he spent the last 12 years operating the burn table.  “Anything large and complex!” was his response to Mainland’s president Paul Hiebert’s question of what he enjoyed working on.  “The Woodward’s Building stands out … 614 intricate sheets of plate burned out on the plasma table.”

As for advice to others starting out in the industry, Gord’s suggestion was, “Work hard.  Always be willing to learn and don’t ever think you know it all – have an open mind.  I am still learning after all these years!”

Mainland was able to celebrate Gord over a lunch-time barbeque where over 60 employees gathered to honor him.  As for plans for his future, “I’m looking forward to getting out and doing lots of outdoor stuff, fishing, gardening, general puttering around!”

We celebrate you Gord!  Thank you for your dedication to Mainland, your hard work, and for being someone that we enjoyed having around!  Enjoy your retirement!

Abbotsford MLA Darryl Plecas Films at Mainland Machinery

Yesterday Mainland Machinery was excited to host Abbotsford MLA Darryl Plecas and his crew as they filmed our shop as part of his upcoming Constituency Video. MLA Plecas was first here a few weeks ago, touring and learning about Mainland’s 45 year history in the community and the work that we do. We were honored when Darryl asked that we would be a part of his upcoming Constituency Video. The video will be highlighting various companies and organizations in the area.

As our President, Paul Hiebert said “Really appreciate the effort of Darryl Plecas to highlight companies in his constituency!”

We look forward to seeing the finished product, and will be sure to share it once it is ready. In the meantime, here are a few “behind the scenes” photos from the shoot!
