2018 EXPANSION, PART 1:

“Logistics have improved, we have much more space as well as a loading dock, which makes shipping and receiving much easier.”-Kurtis Lynes, Production Engineer.

The facility is located in Delta, along the Fraser River; it is a strategic hub with access to two highways, sea, rail, and nearby YVR Airport.

In order to improve our operations, we moved our facility from Surrey to Delta, BC this summer.

The open space of the facility is advantageous for the staff: it is easier to maneuver, find, and store our items. At the same time, the proximity of the machines makes it easier to service and operate.

“The Delta move is part of a two-stage expansion. The second expansion stage will be through a second facility on the East Coast where we are currently looking into in order to attend to one of our biggest markets.”-Martin Cox, President and Lead Designer of Superior Tray Systems.

SOLUTIONS FOR

A PULP MILLA pulp mill in North America needed two feeders, each one with different challenges and requirements. Here is how we helped them out.

The first system would connect to an indoor MCC (Motor Control Center) with an outdoor medium voltage transformer.

The client required a NEMA 3R pull box. Since we knew that the installation team was handling stiff shielded cable, we designed a pull box with enough space to pull the cables out of their phase arrangement into individual groups.

The NEMA 3R pull box would provide protection of the equipment inside the enclosure against ingress of solid foreign objects, water (rain, sleet, snow), and will be undamaged by the external formation of ice on the enclosure.

The second system required to connect a transformer into a PDC (Power Distribution Center).

We were able to determine prior to production that the customer requested wall plate size was too small, so we had to modify it as to not overstress the concrete.

Design and ingenuity are the core of our solutions and we pride of ourselves to offer that service on every system.

STAY TUNED! STS ON INNOVATIONS TV SERIES:

SYSTEM 1: PULL BOX

SYSTEM 2: ADAPTATION FOR BACKING PLATES & TIGHT BENDS

NEMA 3R enclosure: Protects against ingress of water (rain, sleet, snow). Undamaged by the external formation of ice

Pull box: provides adequate space for dephasing and termination

Cable bus section protrudes out of backing plates to allow for connection of bonding cable from floor seal channels to equipment

Elbow: maximum bend with High Flex DLO

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT IN LATIN AMERICA:This year we explored markets in Latin America, assessed the local power distribution industry, and built relationships.

Our Marketing team conducted a thorough market research and participated in Canada´s Trade Accelerator Program, which let us write and execute an Export Plan. We also met SME´s determined to diversify their markets.

We exhibited at Expo Eléctrica tradeshow in Mexico City from June 5-7. We spoke with engineers and electrical contractors, and learned about what they are currently working on.

On October 15-17 we took part in the “Green Building & Construction Mission” organized by the Canadian Trade Commissioner. We were able to present our company to key

local customers on the “Canadian Technology Seminar” in the Canadian Embassy.

It has been a productive year for the company, especially because we were able to meet engineers who appreciate our business and understand that we provide value engineering (VE) or ingeniería de valor on Spanish.

SOLUTIONS IN SOUTH AMERICA

For ease of installation, the client required the covers on the opposite side, so our designers suggested the use of the bus flip which provides a continuous transition between two bus sections.

On our previous edition, we discussed our cable bus system designed for a Lithium Mine in South America. Our client was so satisfied with our product that they requested four more systems.

Each system needed to connect a transformer with a switchgear located inside a modular building.
