News Releases
CALGARY, Nov. 20, 2014 /CNW/ -Stuart Olson Inc. (TSX: SOX, SOX.DB, SOX.DB.A) ("Stuart Olson" or the "Company") today announced new contract awards totaling $130 million for its Industrial Group and Buildings Group segments.
Stuart Olson Industrial Group has been awarded a one year extension on an existing maintenance and turnaround contract to provide electrical, instrumentation and insulation services to a major oil sands owner.
The Stuart Olson Buildings Group in Southern Ontario secured a significant construction management project to construct a new building and retrofit an existing facility for a major university in the region.
"These new project awards are important to us for different reasons," said David LeMay, Stuart Olson's President and CEO. "The one year maintenance and turnaround contract extension provides an important piece of our 2015 revenue for the Industrial Group, and allows the owner and ourselves the time to complete negotiations in 2015 on a new longer term contract. The project awarded to our Buildings Group in Southern Ontario is the first significant project secured by this newly created branch and is a reflection of our strategy of growing in this market with the right size projects secured under our traditional construction management approach".
