Waiward Services

About 

Beginning in 2010, Waiward has been supplying fabricated industrial streel and construction services on various Ore Preparation Plant facilities for Imperial Oil’s Kearl Site. This included Conveyors, Crushers, Slurry Preparation Plants (SPP’s) and Surge Bins.

Once these facilities became operational, Waiward was engaged to provide turnaround and maintenance services. Starting in 2016, Waiward’s team has worked closely with IOL to minimize facility downtime and optimize facility through put.

Creating Solutions

Our team works with IOL’s operations and projects groups to understand their priorities within the outage windows. Repairs, overhauls and improvements are performed based on the feedback gathered from the teams. Our on-site manpower has varied from 4 personnel to over 200 personnel and work diligently to execute the work safely.

Scopes of work regularly performed includes replacement, repair and/or modification to apron feeders (surge bin & crushers), bearing and seals, motors and drives, chutes, wear plates and segment teeth and conveyor belts. Our services provide full scope turnaround and maintenance solutions to ensure the facilities are running efficiently. When emergency services are required, we work with IOL to ensure the facilities are returned to service as soon as possible.
