Pacer’s TR project construction team
is proud of their achievements in
2013, and looking forward to the
next set of challenges with confidence
and optimism.
Over the past year, the TR construction team has faced innumerable obstacles under less-than-perfect conditions, all within the context of demanding project targets.
“It soon became apparent that 12-
hour shifts and a production night
shift were going to be inevitable,” says
Construction Coordinator, Alastair
Cook.
With an extremely condensed and
accelerated schedule, coordination
between shifts and proper management of Pacer resources has proven
essential to the team’s success.
The TR project is also unique as a
substantial amount of work is coordi-
nated within a small area. Cook says
that the day-to-day safety culture
demonstrated by all parties has made
it possible to surpass 500,000 LTIfree man hours.
Pacer has shown its adaptability and
flexibility, working successfully within
a context of changing project needs,
expanded scope and procurement
requirements. Together, Pacer and
TR have beaten the odds.

costs Pacer time and money.”
The shop expansion, which included
the addition of three acres to the yards
south of the office, new welding and
carpentry shops, a new wash bay, additional office spaces, a safety training
facility, and more than 10,000 square
feet of additional storage for parts and

Message from the President
“Welcome back and Happy New Year to all. I truly hope that
you had a wonderful break for the Holiday Season and spent
quality time with your families. On behalf of Pacer, I wish you
the best of health, happiness and a safe and prosperous 2014.”
Richard Pelletier, CEO
Pacer Corporation Group of Companies
2013 has been another boom year,
and most of the goals we set early in
the year were met or surpassed.
We exceeded revenue targets in all
divisions, resulting in combined total
revenue of $365M – a 38 per cent
increase over 2012 – and that’s not
including our Joint Venture (JV) projects, which when taken into account
push our revenue to well over $400M
for 2013.
in Western Canada. Wrapping up
work on Kearl KEP, Pacer drove an
impressive 350 kms of large diameter
pipe.
Our contract with HCB&I was completed without a single recordable.
Our drilling team also successfully
completed several projects at CNRL,
Syncrude, BHP Billiton and Suncor.
Manpower peaked at more than
1,665 direct hires in September and
close to 3 million man-hours for the
Pacer Group of Companies in 2013.
Pacer Mamisiwin Corporation continued at record pace, providing heavy
civil, concrete and buildings projects
for customers like CNRL, Syncrude,
Suncor, Kearl, Nexen, Cenovus and
Dow.
Our safety record continues to impress, but there is still much work to
be done. We had two Loss Time
Injuries and nine Medical Aids last
year – too many. Although none of
the medical aids were of a serious
nature, the fact remains that people
were hurt on our job sites, under our
supervision.
Our largest contract at CNRL with
Tecnicas Reunidas is well under way
with the achievement of several key
milestones. This project was our biggest challenge in 2013. With support
from our other divisions and a strong
leadership team in place, I am confident we will be celebrating another
success story in Q2 of 2014.
Our goal for 2014 is zero Medical
Aids and zero LTIs. Is this achievable? Absolutely.
Our shop in Fort McKay expanded
in 2013 to better service our fleet of
equipment. The facility now includes
a welding shop, paint shop, and carpenter shop, both light vehicle and
heavy equipment maintenance shops,
and a new drill rig and crane maintenance shop.
Pacer Foundations Corporation
(PFC) excelled on all fronts in 2013,
including the successful completion
of some of the largest piling projects
Pacer is now officially a local contractor in the Fort McMurray area.
Our JV’s and new affiliated companies are also exceeding expectations.
The Walterdale Bridge Project is
nearly 20 per cent complete with the
major SOW by PFC now at +/-90 per
cent completion.
The next challenge will be racing to
put the main arches of the bridge in
place while the river level is high
enough, to allow the flotation of these
large arches on barges designed and
built by TFL Industrial. TFL will be a
key strategic partner in 2014.
Congratulations and thank you to our
partners at Construction Promec for
the successful start-up of Pacer
Promec Energy Corporation.
What PPEC has achieved in such a
short timeframe is truly remarkable.
With several contracts in place at
Syncrude, Kearl (with Krupp Canada)
and CNRL, we have already surpassed $100M in sales.
Thank you for making Pacer your
employer of choice in 2013. We look
forward to having you on board as
part of the Pacer family in 2014 and
beyond.
Culture, Integrity, Safety
acteristics remain and continue to set
Pacer apart.
In 2013, we wrapped up work on
Kearl’s KEP Extraction Plant, Tank
Farm, MSF and Froth Plant. The
project was a great success, resulting
in a very satisfied customer and the
award of additional work into 2014.
Adrian Begley, COO
Pacer Corporation Group of Companies
My first three months at Pacer have
been an amazing journey. I would
like to thank all of you, not only for
welcoming me to the Pacer family,
but for patiently working within my
steep learning curve.

I’ve had many conversations about
the successes and challenges that Pacer has experienced over the last four
years. Everyone at Pacer should be
extremely proud of the growth that
has been achieved through hard
work, commitment and dedication.
When I first worked with Pacer in
2008, it was a smaller company with a
lot less diversification. I noticed then,
what set Pacer apart from other companies was its commitment to achieving success through communication
and collaboration. The Pacer name is
synonymous with integrity. Today, in
spite of incredible growth, these char-
Work at Syncrude (MLMR) is also
approaching completion. Pacer participated in a 1Million Man-Hours
LTI-free celebration with Krupp in
September, to which Pacer contributed over 350,000 man hours.
At CNRL, we have wrapped up the
Saipem Hydrotreaters project. Again,
Pacer’s safety record was excellent
with the majority of our 500,000 man
hours LTI-free, celebrated by Saipem
in November.
Our work for Tecnicas Reunidas continues with over 5,000 m3 of concrete
poured in 2013, including 1,300 m3
for the Vacuum Distillation Unit
(VDU) foundation which is the largest exposed foundation at the Horizon Site.
projects, most notably the excellent
progress on the new fabrication and
module shop for our affiliate company, TFL Industrial.
As we move into 2014, we will renew
our focus on three fronts – safety,
money and business processes.
Pacer’s safety program is a success, as
demonstrated by over 2.9 million
man hours in 2013 with an exceptional safety record. In 2014, our safety
program will continue with more emphasis on WCB reporting and compliance.
As with most businesses that have
experienced rapid growth, Pacer’s
focus on excellence in project execution has trumped the focus on getting
paid. This will change in 2014 with a
coordinated push towards more timely submission of invoices, change orders and hold-back declarations.
Additional work with CNRL is ongoing and our strong safety record continues.
Finally, 2014 will be the year for our
business processes to catch-up with
our business. With the help of expert
consultants, we will endeavor to identify and fix aspects of our business
processes that are unable to support
the current size of our business and
prepare us for future growth opportunities.
Pacer’s Building Division had another successful year with a number of
From my family to yours, best wishes
for a safe and happy 2014.
What is your Risk Tolerance?
Managing risk in day-today operations.
Consistency, communication and
awareness will be a focus for Pacer’s
Health and Safety Division in 2014,
says Corporate HSE Director Robert
Hartley.
Pacer’s 24hr
Incident Hotline
403-301-0201
Don’t hesitate.
“We achieved a lot in 2013. If you
look at our turnkey services, introduction of new equipment, and our rapid
growth in personnel, it shows that our
systems and processes are working,
and we are getting stronger,” says
Hartley.
Call and report
immediately.
“But we also need to focus on the
things we need to improve.”
In 2014, Pacer’s senior management
will be focusing on the company’s risk
tolerance in all areas. Now is a good
time, Hartley says, for Pacer employees to think about daily operations
and the potential outcomes when risk
is not properly assessed and managed.
“The focus of good risk management
is the identification and treatment of
risks, and an understanding of the
potential upside and downside of all
those factors that can affect the future
of the employees and the company,”
he says.
There are several contributing factors
when it comes to managing and analyzing risks and, ultimately, deciding
what level of risk is acceptable given
the task at hand. Policies and procedures exist to help make these decisions more black and white, and less
in the grey zone.
However, variables such as worker
experience, site specific hazards and
client dynamics make managing risk a
full time, ongoing decision making
process.
Pacer’s HSE team works proactively across many different projects and sites to
maintain a strong safety culture with one of the lowest TRIF rates in the industry.
“We have policies and procedures
for a reason. Proper risk analysis
starts with management, it’s enforced
by supervision, and practiced every
day by our front line workers,” says
Hartley.
“We need to take the lessons learned
from the past, communicate them
today, and implement changes to
prevent reoccurrence in the future.”
The key areas of improvement, Hartley says, are consistency in the application of policies and procedures;
communication between workers and
communication with supervisors
when it comes to management of
change; as well as awareness that
there are consequences for noncompliance.
“We all have to accept a certain
amount of risk to do our jobs every
day. But there is no tolerance for
cutting corners or not following proper procedures,” he says.
Hartley says successful risk management will increase the company’s
probability of success while reducing
both the probability of failure and
uncertainty in achieving Pacer’s overall objectives.
Risk management is a continuous
and developing process that runs
throughout the company’s pre-job
planning strategy and the implementation of that strategy.
The Pacer team, starting with senior
management, will continue to relentlessly pursue its ultimate objective of
an injury and illness-free work place.
“We believe our safety actions are
most effective when we genuinely
care about each other. We as management want to continue with modernized safety approaches,” says
Hartley.
The goal is to enhance and assist in
creating a cultural alignment and balance that will enable Pacer to utilize
and continue with a systematic approach to safety.
Senior management is committed to
an aggressive pursuit of safety, and to
ensuring that Pacer’s front line management, supervision and work force
possess the appropriate knowledge,
skills and abilities to plan and execute
their assigned job tasks safely.
Turning challenges into opportunities, QAQC style
Dan says that the department has
worked to augment the number of
welding datasheets for Shielded Metal Arc Welding (stick), and they added Flux-Cored Arc Welding capabilities.
The increased welding productivity
was particularly beneficial at Kearl
where approximately 1,000 pile caps
had to be welded under a tight timeline.
Pacer also gained expertise in rebar
welding, which has a standard separate from structural welding.
Above: Pacer QAQC employees perform hydrostatic testing on a fire water system.
It was a challenging year for the
Quality Control department, says
QAQC Manager Dan Ranallo, but it
ended with many important successes
and opportunities for improvement.
From capacity issues to changes in
regulations and everything in between, Pacer’s QAQC department
has very literally risen to the occasion.
Beginning with staffing, the need for
qualified personnel was a focus for
the QAQC team in 2013.
“It wasn’t easy and the countless interviews that were conducted trying to
find possible gems were very trying,”
says Dan.
“In the end, we were successful in
finding the type of personnel that fit
into Pacer’s operations.”
The use of student interns also
helped fulfill the growing need for
resources in the QAQC department
over the past year, while at the same
providing options for Pacer’s future
staffing requirements.
From an operations perspective, additional certifications and other improvements have propelled Pacer
forward on the welding front.
Dan says that Frederic Lapointe, who
fulfilled a dual role as level II welding
inspector and welding supervisor, was
primarily responsible for achieving
Pacer’s rebar welding certification
goals.
As for pipe welding, the most challenging task in 2013 was the renewal
of Pacer’s certification with ABSA,
Alberta’s pressure equipment safety
authority.
Today, with new regulations and considering that Pacer has an ISO 9001compliant Quality Management System, ABSA requested that Pacer incorporate the new regulations into its
current system.
“This triggered a massive review of
Pacer’s QMS manual and the Tier II
piping QC manual. It also triggered a
thorough review of Pacer’s system
overall,” says Dan.
The ABSA certification has been
renewed for another three years and
Pacer will continue talks with ABSA
in 2014 to work through any remaining tasks.
Dan says that, in the upcoming year,
his department will focus on training,
development, communication, and
implementation of review processes.
Target areas for 2014 include
 Improving QMS training includ-
ing ABSA regulations for all QC
personnel;
 Greater quality awareness by per-
forming management reviews to
quality awareness and training
through the ranks;
 Completion of reviews for our
civil and structural QC manuals;
 Restart quarterly audits; and,
 Instruction on the revised proce-
dure for qualifying suppliers and
subcontractors.

Establishing a stronghold in Alberta’s heavy industrial sector
Why Pacer’s work at Syncrude MLMR is setting the stage for dominance
It’s been business as usual for Craig
Felzien and Pacer’s Mildred Lake
Mine Replacement team at Syncrude
— and for Felzien, business as usual
means one thing: hard work.
“We have had a very busy couple of
months at MLMR. Most of the milestones set for the end of the calendar
year have been achieved,” says Felzien, adding that the remaining scope
will be wrapped up early in 2014.
The cold weather has played a significant role in production deadlines and
safety, Felzien says, but Team Pacer
is no stranger to working in adverse
conditions.
“Perseverance and hard work pays
off,” he says.
“Outstanding leadership from site
supervision and front line supervision, right down to very capable work
crews with strong work ethics, and
company pride, have continued to
achieve deadlines and goals consistently.”
Hand in hand with Pacer’s solid
workforce and their unwavering dedication comes a strong commitment
and trusted relationship with the client.
Based on Pacer’s track record onsite,
Felzien says it’s evident that safety,
production and client relations are
key to Pacer’s success.
“These factors keep industry leading
companies like Fluor and Krupp engaged with Pacer and eager to do
business with us into the future.”
MLMR Project Highlights
 Largest Ore Prep Plant facility in
the world with all infrastructure &
concrete work built by Pacer;
 30,000 m2 of engineered crane
pads: equivalent to 5 NFL stadiums;
 Over 500 cast-in-place piles rang-
ing from 24” to 60” diameter, including a tangent retaining wall
structure;
 14,000 m3 of concrete poured:
enough to fill an NFL field to 2.5
m depth;
 Over half a million hours of LTI-
free man hours;
 Massive excavation and civil works
in the Emergency Dump Pond:
Over 70,000 m3 or almost three
times of Olympic-size swimming
pool (see project profile below) ;
 Approximately $90 million of
work to date, of which 98% is complete.
“Hats off to all the employees who
contributed to Pacer’s success on the
MLMR project. Thank you all for
your hard work and dedication to
Pacer,” remarks Felzien, reflecting
over the year’s accomplishments.
Pacer has enjoyed a very successful
2013 on the MLMR project for Syncrude.
Felzien says Pacer’s reputation in the
industry is likely to catch the attention
of other companies and potential
worksites across western Canada.
“Pacer is a company to be reckoned
with. We are growing, and we are
here to stay.”

“TFL and the welders that work off
of our equipment are very proud of
the quality fleet we run,” Stewart says,
adding that TFL will continue to
build the fleet in 2014.
Perhaps most notable is the near
completion of TFL’s new 28,000
square foot shop on 7.4 acres in
Acheson, Alberta. Stewart says the
facility will increase TFL’s fabrication
capacities five times over, and will
allow TFL the space needed to fabri-
cate multiple modules up to 24’ wide
and 120’ long.
2014 will mark TFL’s first full year
with Pacer on board as a stakeholder.
Stewart believes people and companies that can rely on each other are
better able to provide the best service
to a client.
“Continued focus on client service
will make 2014 even more monumental than 2013. The TFL team
and I look forward to working closely
with Pacer and all of our clients in
2014 to provide the service that our
clients deserve.”

TR project construction team shines despite obstacles
Tecnicas Reunidas (TR) is a Spanish engineering, procurement, & construction (EPC) company. TR is currently responsible for the design and construction of the Vacuum Distillation, Diluent Recovery, and Hydrogen Sulphide Recovery
Units (VDU/DRU/HSU) at the CNRL Horizon site north of Fort McMurray. Since 2012, Pacer has worked successfully
with TR in all manner of industrial construction activities. Beginning with temporary construction facilities and deep
underground services, moving into pilings and concrete foundations along with continued civil works, the project
serves as a prime example of Pacer’s full service capabilities.

Cook says that leading up to Christmas, the team was faced with the
challenge to safely install 183 precast
columns while simultaneously continuing work on the cast-in-place pedestals tie beam foundations, of which
the goal was 5000 metres of cast in
place concrete before end of year.
“We completed the final pour on the
vacuum tower top slab on November

stalled by the end of April, the New
Year will be filled with its own set of
challenges.
Cook says that had it not been for
some extremely cold weather that
suspended field operations for a
number of days, the quantity could
have been substantially higher.
“There is little doubt that our experienced CMT team and skillful work
force will have no problem completing the remaining scope of work on

The civil division has been extremely
busy trying to keep up with backfill
requirements as well as beginning the
installation of the shallow PCSS.
As the cold weather set in, it became
a day-to-day challenge to ensure that
material and backfill locations were
kept heated.
Now that the installation of the shallow PCSS in the HSU is nearly complete, planning has begun for the
construction of an inflatable tent over

Pacer projects reach every corner of CNRL expansion
As CNRL’s Horizon site continues
to grow, Pacer Corporation continues its tradition of industry-leading
full scale construction services that
meet or exceed client expectations in
every way.
The proof is in the pudding, with
Pacer broadening its presence at
CNRL in 2013 and gearing up for
another busy and productive year in
2014.
“The 2013 year was very busy and
very challenging at CNRL. Our projects reached to every corner of the
CNRL Expansion,” says Construction Manager Andrew Waite.
The last two years at CNRL have
seen a constant growth in the number of projects overall, and a constant
growth in contracts awarded to Pacer.
Since Pacer completed operations at
Kearl Lake in the fall, there has been
an assimilation of the crews and leadership that worked on the Kearl expansion to CNRL projects.
The transition into CNRL has been
smooth: a true measure of Pacer employees’ professionalism.
Waite says that Pacer employees
have reached numbers over 600 for
the first time at the CNRL site. More
proof, he says, that Pacer is a major
player both at CNRL and in the oil
sands.
works.
The 2013 year ended with Pacer’s S2000 Crew receiving the award for
Contractor of the Quarter. The team
performed very well over the entire
year, but had a streak of over 90 days
incident-free that really showed their
willingness to work collectively as a
team with safe execution in mind.
In September, Pacer was awarded
the Trains 1 & 2 Thickener project.
The 2013 work included bathtubbing
the existing grade and initial works to
install sheet piling in one of the two
tanks. The bulk of the concrete
works will be completed in 2014.
Pacer’s Piling group has been quite
busy this year in the Extraction area.
The Trains 1 & 2 retrofit project has
gone very well and the crews performed their work with an excellent
safety record.
The Earthworks division was awarded the underground Fire Water installation Froth Treatment. This has
been a well-executed project that also
led to additional work for the Piling
division. Pacer expects the project
will keep the foundation crews busy
into late 2014.
Pacer’s minor services contract with
BP saw work in early 2013 with three
separate contracts, all of which were
completed this year.

VDU/DRU/HSU was a very challenging project in each and every
aspect. From the early works and
deep underground to the CIP piling

project has not been without trials
and tribulations.
The congested working conditions
were, at times, a difficult obstacle.
But the crews held their composure
and, in the end, Pacer rallied towards
a solid victory by achieving all project
milestones.

lenges. Together with TR, Pacer
worked to meet these challenges
head-on, as we would any other project.
The major milestone for this project
was the successful completion of the
Vacuum Tower (pictured Top
Right). The final pour was completed
in late November, and in early 2014
Pacer will unveil one of the most
unique structures ever built at
CNRL.
Multiple priorities? No problem.
Pacer delivers as Hydrotreaters Phase 2B draws to a close
In 2013, Pacer worked on three different contracts for Saipem Canada
Inc., a leader in engineering, fabrication and construction that operates
primarily in the oil and gas industry.
All three contracts were related to
the Hydrotreaters Phase 2B project
located at the CNRL Horizon site.
In July of 2013, Pacer completed the
installation of 629 piles,
work that had
been ongoing
since
July
2012.
Saipem
also hired
Pacer in June
2012 for the
installation of several
underground networks.
Current underground works in progress include:
An HDPE firewater system, including all steel risers;
A carbon steel amine drain system
(CAD);
A carbon steel hydrocarbon drain
system (CHD); and,
A concrete and carbon steel potentially contaminated sewer system
(PCSS).
The PCSS system
included
the
installation of
21 concrete
manholes,
37 concrete
catch basins,
and several air
vents. The majority
of the work was completed by the end of 2013; however, a
small punch list of items remains to
be finished in early 2014.
The third contract began in April
2013 and was, for the most part,
completed before the 15th of
October.
Pacer
was
hired
to
build several foundations,
pile caps,
blast walls,
and slabs. A total
of more than 1700 m3
of concrete and 215,000 kg of rebar
were used to build these foundations,
pile caps and blast walls.
More than 900 m3 of concrete was
poured for the slabs, which covered
an area of over 6,000 m2.
Saipem’s Hydrotreaters Phase 2B
project, which involved three separate but related contracts, is a prime
example of Pacer’s ability to successfully manage and coordinate multiple
complementary departments,
such as Piling, Civil,
and Concrete.
Saipem
and
Pacer
look
forward to a
strong
and
productive relationship in 2014,
as continued development in the oil and gas
industry demands the services of
high quality, experienced contractors.
Thank you to Saipem and thank you
to all involved in the successful completion of this most important project.

The keys to success
By Joel Thompson
Vice-President, Finance
Pacer Corporation Group of
Companies
I began working for Pacer on November 26, 2013.
In my short time here, I have had
the opportunity to meet and work
with a handful of people, and they
all represent the company well.
Perhaps having a fresh view as a
newcomer to the organization may
be an interesting perspective for
those who have been with the organization for a while, and have
made it what it has become today.
Let me back up slightly, as this is
not my first introduction to Pacer,
having began a relationship with
Mike Maric and Richard Pelletier
several years back on a few different matters.
What struck me most during
those initial interactions was my
perception of an ambitious, entrepreneurial and customer service
driven company, with fantastic
potential.
When the opportunity arose for
me to join this team and help with
its growth, it was an easy decision.
Having now spent several weeks
on the inside of the organization, I
have learned that my original assessment of Pacer was quite accurate.
I'm beginning to understand why
the company’s model is working
so well.
I have observed four key elements
in the culture, amongst others, that
make this organization so successful.
First of all, humour. There exists a
mutual respect within the organization that allows everyone to have
some fun. I hear laughter around
the office quite frequently.
Second, pride. I get a strong sense
as I meet new people in this organization that they are quite
proud to be a part of Pacer, proud
of Pacer's accomplishments and
role in the industry and community.
Third, a focus on the success of
the business. This is more rare in
the business world than it should
be, but I have found that decisions
are made at Pacer with success at
top of mind.
Finally, there is a real will within
the organization to make it stronger, find more effective ways to get
things done and smooth out the
effects of the growing pains.
The road ahead will bring challenges for all of us, but the rewards
will be greater than ever before.
I look forward to meeting many
more of you, and becoming a part
of the continued success story that
is Pacer Corporation.

Buildings Division redefines innovation, style, and quality
By Jody Sebryk
Business Development Manager
“2013 was a positive year for Pacer’s
Buildings Division with the advent
and continuation of a variety of challenging and rewarding projects,” says
Vice President Buildings Division,
Tom Doucet.
In addition to new work, such as the
temporary warehouse structure at
Kearl, the division had simultaneous
design/build projects underway.
Most notably was the completion of
the beautiful modular administration
addition for the Nexen Long Lake
facilities.
This state of the art building may be
modular in nature but any comparison ends there as the aesthetic features and finishing work make this
building an example of modern fabrication capabilities coupled with an
innovative construction team.
Its ample common areas, stylish glass
dividers, innovative lighting features
and wide atrium stairwells are reminiscent of a site constructed facility,
belying its modular origin.

Meanwhile, west of Edmonton in
Acheson Alberta, TFL Industrial’s
spacious pre-engineered warehouse
and office building has been progressing.
This design/build project will soon
be commissioned as a formidable
facility for the fabrication and production of steel modules, tanks and
other miscellaneous steel works.
The comprehensive warehouse design is complete with high ceilings,
natural light windows, multiple crane
rails and a specialized end wall that
opens to allow materials to be craned

“Pacer’s building teams performed
admirably to overcome challenging
hurdles and delays,” says Doucet.

To assist in building and implementing an aggressive, respectful First Nation Relations Strategy, Pacer Corporation contracted Shane Breaker of
industry producers and industry service providers providing a wide range
of accommodation to benefit the
community as a whole. Though there
area clear community benefits for
First Nations through joint ventures,
some communities have opposed

gone to federal courts for resolution.
“By developing a First Nation Relations Strategy, Pacer will be able to
maneuver through any conflict that
may arise, and be able to understand
the large scope of oil and gas industry
politics with First Nations” says
Breaker.
Pacer Corp has already been involved with First Nation consultation
on the Walterdale Bridge construction project in Edmonton.
“It was thought that there was a burial
site located along the river bank of
the North Saskatchewan river, close
to the proximity of the contract of the
new bridge,” Breaker explains.
Led by the City of Edmonton, consultation with various First Nation
groups took place in order to move
forward with the project. In September 2013, it was found that there was
no evidence of any human burial at
the location.
As Pacer Corp grows with projects
across multiple provinces, it becomes
essential for the company to make
First Nation Relations a top priority,
not only to mitigate any potential
conflicts, but to create economic development opportunities within the
communities that Pacer operates.
Slated for implementation in Jan.
2014, the Pacer Corp First Nation
Relations Strategy will include a structured consultation process, a communication and public relations plan,
and an employment strategy.
Under the guidance of Shane Breaker, Pacer will be well-represented
with First Nations across Canada.
Together, Breaker says, we will work
towards the development of strong
partnerships and increased training
and recruitment opportunities for
Aboriginal workers, thereby solidifying Pacer’s position as a full-service
industrial construction company of
choice.
Acciona Pacer JV drives Walterdale Bridge project forward
COVER STORY
With much accomplished in 2013,
Acciona Pacer Joint Venture (APJV)
is proud to continue construction of
Edmonton’s signature bridge, says
Integrated Management Systems
Manager Nathan Doupe.
“We are looking forward to an exciting 2014, the biggest challenges are
yet to come,” Doupe says.
Acciona Pacer Joint Venture accomplished several important milestones
on the Walterdale Bridge Project in
2013.
“We started off the project on a high
note with the successful realignment
of Queen Elizabeth Park Road during the summer construction season”
says Doupe.
Later this year, Walterdale Hill Road
will be similarly realigned to merge
with the new QEPR alignment.
In addition, Pacer Foundations com-
pleted the deep foundations for the
north and south bridge abutments.
Also completed in 2013 were the
major earthworks on the south side
of the river which included preparation of the arch assembly area, now
ready for receipt of structural steel.
As work continues into the new year,
the focus will be on major foundations and fabrication of structural
steel.
Pacer Foundations has completed
pile driving activities on the four
thrust block cofferdams. Excavation
of the cofferdams is underway and
will continue in early 2014.
Once excavated to final depth, foundation anchors and thrust blocks will
be installed followed by backfill in
preparation for erection of structural
steel.
Fabrication of the steel structure will
commence in early 2014.
Fort McKay Amphitheatre underway
Construction on Fort
McKay’s 1800 person

2013. Managed by
Fort McKay First Nation, the design by
Workun Garrick Architecture in collaboration with Protostatix
Engineering is expected to reach full

Pacer Foundations Corporation establishes itself as a world class contractor
The Walterdale project has taken
PFC to a new level of deep foundation construction.
“We continue to build our team and
our reputation as a world class deep
foundations contractor,” says Berg.
Dan Berg, President
Pacer Foundations Corporation
Pacer Foundations Corporation
(PFC) continued to achieve success at
every level in 2013. High level skills
and expertise were contributed on a
number of key projects.
Work on the Walterdale Bridge Project is particularly specialized, setting
Pacer apart from most of the competition in the industry.
PFC President Dan Berg says no
other company could have mobilized
the specialty resources needed as
quickly as PFC.
PFC also demonstrated the ability to
manage a highly technical project,
which included the design of the cofferdams, ground movement monitoring, dewatering systems, and the temporary piling design for the bridge
erection towers.
PFC’s safety culture has been driven
by great leadership in the field. As
PFC continues building its team, safety is consistently instilled as a core
value.
“Safety is always the driving factor
behind how we approach our work,”
Berg says.
“This year was especially great because we had a record year in sales
revenue and also achieved the best
safety record in our history.”
PFC experienced another record
breaking year in sales, and did so
without any serious incidents the entire year.
Berg says PFC will continue to build
this kind of strong safety culture for
all projects in 2014.
“I would like to thank everyone for a
great job in 2013. At the end of the
day, it is truly all about strong leadership on the front lines that determines our future.”

It can be overwhelming for sure.
As all divisions of Pacer continue to
grow, new employees are welcomed
into the Pacer community and culture. Many are often new to the industry, and new to the trades.
New labourer, Birant Faik, is assigned to Journeyman carpenter,
Pierre Richard, as his mentor. The
pairing provides not only a bridge
between east and west Canadian culture, but also the essential link in
guiding Birant through his new start

work platforms to enable workers
access to the workfronts in the river
areas.
The SSW program, in conjunction
with contributions from the rest of
the team and its supervisors, has provided Birant a strong foundation
from which to move forward.
Birant has embraced Pacer’s safety
culture 110 per cent, producing excellent FLRAs, BBO cards, and
readily participating in morning tool
box talks.
Getting employees to adopt new policies and attitudes is probably one of
the most onerous tasks when it
comes to safety. With the SSW program, we can immediately see that
the challenge has been relieved or
reduced to a nominal one.
This program provides the stability
and comfort for new employees to
grow, which will cycle through each
generation of new employees and
eventually come full circle.
One day the green hand becomes the
old dog, who then teaches the new
guy a few tricks of his own.
Recognition for Pacer employees
Each year, Pacer hosts a banquet to
show its appreciation for the hundreds of staff members that help
make Pacer a success.
It’s also an evening of recognition,

and best of all, get to know one another a little bit better.
The evening is marked by a celebration of Pacer’s accomplishments over
the preceding year and punctuated
by the very best in food, drink, and
service.
Pacer’s 5th Annual Awards Night
and staff banquet was held on November 27 at the Chateau Nova in
Fort McMurray.
It’s a great opportunity for Pacer staff
and head office personnel to come
together to showcase Pacer’s success,
and also to those who helped in the

Situated in Fort Saskatchewan AB,
the Outfall Project marks Pacer’s first
opportunity to work directly for Dow
Chemical.
“We didn’t need to raise the bar, we
just did our job to the high level that
we normally would,” says Project
Manager, Terry Mallais.
The project involved the removal of
a 60 ft. long, damaged outfall pipe on
the North Saskatchewan River, and
installation of a new pipe — all without disturbing the environment or
wildlife.
The project was initially scheduled
for four weeks, but Pacer was asked
to complete a broadened scope
which extended the project to 12
weeks.
The outfall pipe carries water from
the Dow wastewater treatment plant
after it’s been discharged from the
pond, where it is chemically treated
to an acceptable level before flowing
into the river.
Although the scope of the project was
unique, Pacer maintained a high
standard.
Pacer employed a new technology
called aqua-barrier, which is a waterinflated damming device made from
reinforced PVC membrane material.
“It was a challenging project. We
were not allowed to bring equipment
into the river,” says Mallais.
With the use of a 100t crane, two
aqua-barriers were placed in the river
to create a temporary dam. The wa-

ter was drained from the area to allow work to proceed.
The hardest thing to tackle, Mallais
says, was discharging the water into
the River without disturbing the wildlife.
As usual, Pacer came through in fine
style, passing Dow’s field evaluation
report for construction contractors
and lining up additional bids for
2014.
