Allteck

Our leadership team has decades of engineering, construction and project management experience in the Utility, Oil and Gas, Forestry, and Transportation sectors. With an intimate understanding of the day to day operations of power systems, we understand our clients because we have been the client.

As a Progressive Aboriginal Relations (P.A.R.)01 committed member of the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business01 (C.C.A.B.), Allteck is honoured to be collaborating and partnering with First Nations on their traditional territories across Western Canada. We have worked with and collaborated with a number of First Nation communities and have developed flexible partnership models to meet the needs of the First Nation governments and economic development corporations representing their communities.

Education, training, and employment opportunities are the foundation of our initiatives. As the needs and capacity of all Indigenous communities are unique, Allteck has identified alternative methods of community investment with our Indigenous partners. These initiatives and relationships are based upon collaboration, so that together, we can create a positive social impact and enhance economic growth for Canadians.

ENERGIZED SERVICES

Allteck’s energized services team can maintain, upgrade and rebuild virtually any voltage line or substation facility with little or no power interruptions. We achieve this through highly-specialized work techniques, tools and equipment adapted for both distribution, transmission and substation projects.

Distribution energized work consists of using insulated hot-sticks and rubber gloves to provide worker protection. Due to the higher voltages, transmission live-line work includes an added set of unique techniques, tools and equipment. A fundamental component of this work is energizing the worker by “Bonding on”. Sometimes referred to as “Barehanding”, a procedure by which our skilled Powerline Technicians place themselves at the same electrical potential as the energized circuit on which they are working. This is achieved through the use of highly specialized “conductive suits” which act as a Faraday Cage, allowing the electric charge to flow around the outside of the suit and not around the worker’s body.

Furthermore, our patented LineMaster Robotic Arm™ allows for safer, more efficient repair, replacement or upgrades, giving us a unique advantage in the contracting community.

EMERGENCY RESTORATION

When power infrastructure is damaged due to unforeseen events or natural disasters, we quickly notice how extensively we rely on power. Restoring this essential service safely and efficiently is a priority and one of the first things that helps us regain a sense of normalcy.

Our Emergency Response team is trained and prepared to quickly mobilize and respond to outages from coast to coast throughout North America. Our crews employ energized and de-energized work methods as the situation requires

Key clients include:
  • BC Hydro
  • FortisBC
  • SaskPower
  • Puget Sound Energy
  • Connecticut Light and Power (Hurricane Irene in 2011, and Hurricane Sandy in 2012)
