Scope of Work:

The Charlottetown Research and Development Centre is a major research facility with several buildings located in both Charlottetown and in Harrington. The buildings can house a multitude of scientific, agricultural, mechanical and administrative activities. The Centre therefore has an ongoing requirement for routine and emergency mechanical services such as installation, removal and repair of mechanical systems on an “As and when Requested” basis.

In order to ensure ongoing and efficient operations and due to the age of certain mechanical components, we require access to a Mechanical Contracting Firm that can provide various licenced skilled trades’ personnel to overhaul, replace, repair and maintain our existing systems and ensure that current acts, codes and regulations are met
