ATCO Structures & Logistics announced today that it has
received several Awards of Distinction from the Modular Building
Institute (MBI). Leading the way was ATCO's design and construction
of MEG Energy's workforce housing facility which received both
first place in the permanent modular commercial housing category as
well as overall highest scoring entry.
Located near Conklin, Alta., the MEG Energy Pirate's Cove Lodge
is built near the shoreline of Christina Lake and features open web
wood trusses and glulam cross beams to create the feel of a
high-end ski lodge. The 150-bed operations lodge is equipped with a
pre-engineered gymnasium with a full basketball court, theatre and
world-class kitchen. To protect workers from extreme weather
conditions, the lodge has a skywalk system which is designed to
withstand site specific wind, snow and seismic loads.
"Each of the projects recognized by the MBI this year
demonstrate our commitment to excellence and innovation in all
areas of modular construction," said George Lidgett, Executive Vice
President, Operations and Manufacturing, ATCO Structures &
Logistics. "Whether it is the marketing, design or construction of
modular solutions, ATCO, along with our customers, is leading our
industry."
In the renovated reuse category, Tecno Fast ATCO, a joint
venture between ATCO Structures & Logistics and Tecno Fast, was
awarded best in show for its office in Santiago, Chile. To support
business expansion, a new office facility was built using renovated
units from the rental fleet. Using existing units and materials in
unique ways allowed for a significant reduction in environmental
impact as well as a shorter project schedule.
ATCO's newest office in Calgary received an honorable mention
and was commended for its environmentally efficient, durable and
visually appealing finish. This building uses Platinum Level
Sustainable Choice carpeting in the offices, recycled tire carpet
tiles in entrances and stair landings, and vinyl plank flooring
made with 50 per cent recycled material throughout the common
areas.
The second honorable mention went to a larger office complex
located near Kirby Lake, Alta., which includes office space, a
control room, a locker room, a lunchroom and an attached
pre-engineered warehouse building for an oil sands site. Heavy duty
construction materials, additional sheer walls and a reinforced
pile foundation provide blast-resistance for the complex.
ATCO's 3D animation video of workforce housing and lodging
services also received an honorable mention in the multimedia
marketing piece category. This fly-through animation visually
captures the implementation of ATCO's largest modular housing
solution from site preparation to implementation.
The MBI Awards of Distinction are judged on several criteria:
architectural excellence, technical innovation, energy efficiency,
cost and calendar days to complete. An impartial panel of industry
and non-industry construction experts, architects and engineers,
and marketing professionals reviews each entry.
