" Earth-Mars Erectors were awarded a number of significant contracts for the demolition, erection and cladding of two new head frame structures at the Potash Corporation mine at Rocanville Saskatchewan. The contracts were part of a major expansion project of one of the world’s largest potash mines. In particular, the demolition of an existing head frame structure with the new head frame already erected on top of the old structure presented unique challenges for both safety and execution. The work was carefully planned and engineered well in advance and then flawlessly executed by a professional team of management and trades people. I would not hesitate to recommend Earth-Mars Erectors for this type of work.

I'm writing to give positive recognition to Earth-Mars Erectors employees, Frank Pozega and Mark Rackham. Frank has performed his role as foreman at the beginning of the Nabiye Project in 2013 and into 2014. His attitude, organization, and attention to detail with regard to safety is exemplary.

He stepped up and took on more of a leadership role, leading the morning toolbox meeting and provided a consistent message to the crew, and I think has earned the respect of the crew as well as Darren and Dave.

He earned a reputation as 'make it happen' kind of guy, who will solve problems by enlisting the help of others. Other contractors onsite are willing to help Frank just because they like him and know if they do help, the favor will be returned in the future. For example, we have been getting free use of JV Driver cranes occasionally and I credit Dave and Darren for cooperating with others onsite as well. Instead of moving SSE AWP's in and out of the building every time a different contractor needs access, the leadership onsite now and for the past two months has been willing to share resources and it is working better for everyone.

Mark Rackham has also transformed from a quiet leader into a vocal leader. He started out working on the tool, training the less experienced workers.

We have witnessed Mark's ability as an erector, signal person, excellent AWP operator, and feel his experience provides him all the credibility he needs to influence others around him in a positive way.

Mark and Frank have stuck with us on the Nabiye Project and we appreciate it.

Thank you,

Earth-Mars Erectors, a metal building assembly company, has been working at Red Chris since April 2013 on construction of the process plant. We have crew of 35 on site at any given time, “says the company’s site supervisor, Doug Hood. The process plant is made up of six areas: grinding, flotation, thickener, concentrate storage, reagent, and the electrical annex. Crews built the structural skeleton of the plant first, and then installed insulation, siding and a sheet metal roof to keep the inside warm and dry. Crews assembled and installed all of the building components, including structural steel, wall and roof sheet metal, windows, louvers and doors. They also did the overhead crane installations, and specialized hoisting and rigging. “The project is very challenging, but extremely rewarding,” says Doug. “When I look back at pictures I took six short months ago, I can’t believe how much has been completed. There are 150 transport truckloads of steel in the frames,” he explains. “Doug Hood’s dedicated, skilled crew worked hard – some from 135 foot lifts installing bolts and screws while the temperature dipped to -27C to meet the deadline,” says Red Chris construction manager Alex Cook. “Work is not finished for Doug’s team. Because of their excellent performance, Scott Steel has been awarded another contract. So there are 60 more loads of steel on the way. We look forward to a repeat performance for the installation of the interior steel.” Doug attributes the success to everyone involved in the project!
