Northern Industrial Construction (NIC) has finished installing and load testing a 5t top-running overhead crane system at the Fort Good Hope Construction Centre in the Northwest Territories of Canada.
The crane, which spans 10.795m, has passed all load testing requirements, allowing the facility to reach a significant stage in its commissioning process.
Headquartered in Yellowknife, NIC is a general contractor operating in the Northwest Territories, Yukon, and Nunavut.
The company undertakes a broad spectrum of projects that include mechanical, structural, civil and building construction for industrial, municipal and institutional clients.
Northern Industrial Construction handles operations in areas that often require winter road, air, or marine-only access.
The company employs a northern workforce comprising apprentices, tradespeople, and local labourers.
Northern Industrial Construction offers a range of project delivery models, such as Design-Build, E.P.C, Stipulated Sum, and Cost Reimbursable.
The company has completed projects throughout the Arctic and Subarctic, focusing on undertaking builds in remote locations with complex logistical demands.
A week ago, NIC secured the contract for the second phase of construction fit-out at the new six-bay Garage and Animal Control Facility in Fort Chipewyan, Alberta.
This stage of the project will involve finishing the interior and installing the final services after completion of the building shell, foundations, windows, and parts of the underground infrastructure in the initial phase.
