Business Wire
Plaintree Systems Inc. (CNSX: NPT) (“Plaintree”), today
announced that its Specialty Structures Division, Triodetic, has
received a contract for the engineering and manufacture of a 180
foot galvanized steel industrial dome structure with painted steel
cladding for a gold mine in northern Ontario.
Manufacturing of the dome will be at the company’s new
state-of-the-art plant in Arnprior, Ontario.
“Needless to say, the mining industry has been very hot over the
last year” said David Watson, CEO of Plaintree “and we have been
very busy quoting mining stockpile covers. This is a smaller cover
for us and is priced at well under CDN $2 million. Our fast
turnaround time, from order to delivery, in under 8 weeks, is one
of many key reasons we are receiving orders.”
The new plant boasts high end presses, CNC machining
capabilities, laser cutters, laser welders and other precision
machinery. The plant operates to the high AS9100 Aerospace quality
standards. TRIODETIC shares the Plaintree resources of
approximately 100 employees including professional engineers, CAD
Technicians, certified welders and support staff.
