FWS Group of CompaniesFWS Group of Companies commenced operations over 60 years ago with origins based in conventional general contracting. Since then we have evolved into one of Canada's leading design builders, providing services in Ag-Industrial, Oil & Gas, and Bulk Material Handling sectors.

The FWS Bulk Material Handling Group specializes in applying FWS Integrated Design-Build to these focus areas:

• Ports & Terminals • BMH Industrial Services • Process Facilities • Mining

FWS Integrated Design-Build approach: FWS has developed an effective and proven project execution model that involves a fully integrated approach to Design-Build. Whereas many contractors purport to be performing "Design-Build" work, FWS differentiates itself by maintaining a large experienced team of internal engineering and design proffesionals that work collaboratively with our clients and internal construction team to achieve high quality, cost effective design and construction execution results.

FWS Bulk Material Handling is commited to serving our clients throughout every single stage and life cycle of a project. First and foremost, the true intergrated design approach begins with understanding our client's needs and objectives. Only then can the collaborative process of integrated design-build project development occur most effectively.

Our dedicated BMH Industrial Services division also supplements our capital projects team by providing a full suite of services from maintenance to upgrades, retrofits and repairs. Such services can be as small scale "design-builds" or field services only.

Ports & TerminalsFWS has completed several successful Port and Terminal projects applying our intergrated Design-Build and construction management model. Our team of engineers and project specialists are experienced in Design-Build and retro-fitting of all Ports & Terminal systems such as:

• Complete shipping/trans load terminals • Storage & Reclaim • Dock & Stock Yard • Dust Control • Truck/Rail loading and unloading

Our local team of engineers and consultants also lends their expertise to construction upgrades and inspections of related dock structures and ship loaders/unloaders.

BMH Industrial Services was created to efficiently supplement our capital projects range of services. We also assist in retrofit upgrades and maintenance services for pulp mills, ports and terminals, mining, cement, process facilities and other related sectors. BMH Industrial Services has the advantage of being able to capitalize on the vast experience of FWS field teams that are spread throughout Western Canada. With our experienced design-build engineers, our project execution specialists work closely with client project teams to develop the most cost effective solutions for specific applications. This approach ensures smooth integration and minimal interference with operating efficiencies at existing operating facilities.

We view today’s satisfied customers as tomorrow’s growth opportunities. Our ongoing commitment to the customer and the FWS principles of precision, professionalism, efficiency and quality control are all hallmarks of our success.
