News Release, Capilano Fish Hatchery
Certified Coating Specialists (CCS) is very pleased to announce our receipt of award of the Capilano Fish Hatchery contract by the British Columbia Ministry of Fisheries and Oceans. The scope of the project includes resurfacing of concrete channels used for holding and rearing salmon over a period of several months, to be completed by September 2010.
This is an especially satisfying contract for CCS to have been awarded, considering the high importance British Columbians place on protecting our natural environment – our SSPC QP1 classification gives us confidence in knowing that the work we complete will have a minimal effect on the Capilano River as well as the rearing fry and holding salmon. Additionally, many of our crew members who reside in Vancouver, B.C. have a personal interest in maintaining the pristine condition of this incredible glacial river as it is in their backyard recreational area. Mr. Kevin Leigh (Project Manager of CCS) stated “to be a part of a project that will help conserve the legacy of one of British Columbia’s most valued iconic symbols (salmon) is very gratifying as it aligns with my own personal, as well as corporate values”.
In 2004 CCS achieved SSPC QP1 classification. This classification is one that CCS takes great pride in, not only due to the stringent requirements that must be adhered to in order to maintain said classification, but the individual pride amongst CCS’s team members with respect to safe, quality work they provide on an hourly basis.
The bid team leader who compiled the successful bid to the Ministry was Mr. Randy Tilley (rtilley@ccscoatings.ca, 250-713-4505). As always, he worked diligently with Mr. Charlie Tuck (ctuck@ccscoatings.ca, 604- 320-7891) to ensure competitive pricing and schedule.
On award of tender operations, Resource Manager, Mr. Darren Ponte (866-822-5900), appointed Mr. Kevin Leigh as CCS Project Manager.
Certified Coating Specialists is eager to get started on the project and anticipate full crews who will meet all contract deadlines.
