Case study: Airplane Prop

Shell Oil (Now Canadian Natural Resources) has a large airport north of Fort McMurray and it serves many of the businesses and camps nearby. Assistant Fire Chief Brad Collins was concerned with the costs and the loss of man hours needed to send firefighters long distances for training. We supplied concept drawings in 2016 and the prop was installed by Spring 2017.
