  • Terramac Plans For An Exciting Exhibit At ICUEE 2019

    Terramac, a leading manufacturer of innovative rubber track crawler carriers, is preparing for an exciting display at ICUEE 2019, held October 1-3 at the Kentucky Exposition Center. Terramac will exhibit its latest specialty units and technologies at booth N2030.
    Terramac’s most compact model yet, the RT6U designed for utility applications, will be on display with a Terex Commander 4047 digger derrick. This new specialty unit provides utility contractors an all-in-one equipment solution for safely and efficiently constructing, maintaining and restoring power. The RT6U boasts a compact footprint of 25’ 8” x 8’ 2”, which makes it ideal for jobs that are in tight spaces but don’t require the payload of a larger unit. The RT6U can also be easily loaded onto a tag trailer and hauled by line trucks from jobsite to jobsite.
    Terramac’s heavy-duty RT14U crawler carrier equipped with a Terex RMX 75 aerial device will also be exhibited at ICUEE 2019. This specialty utility model provides the ultimate versatility for either aerial material handling or personnel lifting. The RT14U accommodates taller lifting devices and heavyweight support equipment with superior durability, while also offering more torque and power than other crawler carriers in its class. This robust unit is especially useful for utility jobsites that are located in remote areas where it is difficult for larger, wheeled machinery to access.
    Terramac will showcase the customization capabilities of its utility units. Compared to standard Terramac models, the new utility carriers are built with a unique extended frame and hydraulic mount system. This frame adjustment simplifies the mounting process to accommodate a variety of utility support equipment, including: lineman winches, vacuum excavators, boom lifts, concrete mixers and service cranes. Terramac will also highlight the units’ innovative rubber track technology and low ground pressure, which enable utility crews to easily maneuver through adverse ground conditions and climb faster on steep and hilly terrain.
    The Terramac exhibit at ICUEE 2019 is located in the Lift & Haul Demo Lot (N), booth N2030. Product experts will be readily available to assist attendees, conduct product walk-arounds, and answer questions.

  • Suncor Energy To Invest $1.4 Billion In Low-Carbon Power Cogeneration At Its Oil Sands Base Plant All Financial Figures Are In Canadian Dollars

    • Delivers superior returns and a significant contributor to the company’s goal of growing incremental free funds flow by $2 billion by 2023
    • Suncor’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with steam production at Base Plant will be reduced by approximately 25%
    • GHG emissions in the province of Alberta will be reduced by approximately 2.5 megatonnes per year

    Suncor announced it is replacing its coke-fired boilers with two cogeneration units at its Oil Sands Base Plant. The cogeneration units will provide reliable steam generation required for Suncor’s extraction and upgrading operations and generate 800 megawatts (MW) of power. The power will be transmitted to Alberta’s grid, providing reliable, baseload, low-carbon power, equivalent to approximately 8% of Alberta’s current electricity demand. This project will increase demand for clean natural gas from Western Canada.

    “This is a great example of how Suncor deploys capital in projects that are economically robust, sustainability minded and technologically progressive,” said Mark Little, president and chief executive officer. “This project generates economic value for Suncor shareholders and provides baseload, low-carbon power equivalent to displacing 550,000 cars from the road, approximately 15% of vehicles currently in the province of Alberta.”
