ATCO Structures & Logistics (ATCO) has been awarded a contract to provide facilities & operations maintenance services to five resource development sites in northern Alberta operated by a major Canadian exploration and production company. The two-year contract, which began in March 2014, was awarded after a competitive bid process.

ATCO will be responsible for the maintenance of the interior and exterior of buildings, facility systems such as HVAC, electrical and plumbing, as well as grounds keeping and signage maintenance. All the work will be managed through a computerized maintenance management system.

"We are very pleased to continue to provide our facilities and operations maintenance services in this growing region of Alberta," said George Lidgett, President, ATCO Structures & Logistics.
