Quebec's ADF Group Inc. secures $77 million infrastructure deal

TERREBONNE, Que.

ADF Group Inc. has secured a $77-million contract in the North American infrastructure industry.

The steel structure firm based in Terrebonne, Que. did not name the customer, but said the contract includes the design and engineering of connections, supply of the steel, and fabrication of oversized steel components with complex geometry and which will weigh close to 100 tons each, as well as highly complex architectural elements. The project will extend over a 20-month period, with delivery to start in the fall of 2009.

ADF said the contract has created the need for about 50 more jobs at the company’s plant and boosted its order backlog to about $190 million.

“This is the second most important contract in dollars in ADF’s history,” chief executive Jean Paschini said in a statement. “This project is a very nice challenge for our team. It has very high criteria notably because of the particularly complex geometry, weights and dimensions of the steel components, in addition to the strict standards of tolerance and aesthetics.We are very well positioned for these types of large-scale projects”

ADF Group Inc. is a North American leader in the design, engineering, fabrication and selective installation in the non-residential construction industry of complex steel superstructures, as well as in architectural metal work.
