commercial radio components and supplies.

In January 1997, the company began performing consulting work, including radio path design, antenna

and tower specifications, microwave and other radio licencing and RF filter design.

In June, 1998, the company became a Limited Corporation in the Province of Alberta.

Note that the company has completed a significant amount of work with microwave radios in the recent

past. The President/Owner has also had significant experience with mobile and trunked radio system

design.

Project work to date has included:

WorleyParsons Canada Services Ltd., Spectra Energy Dawson Creek Processing Facility

Project required design and layout of a fibre optic communication system for control of

mechanical and other equipment at site, along with a Closed Circuit Television (CCTV)

surveillance system.

The project also required support and modification when a phase 2 segment was added to

original Plant. Additional connections and fibre optic termination panels were added as part of

the project.

Communication used was a redundant single mode fibre optic network for communication with

various PLC control devices and a leaky feeder cable antenna system for a voice radio repeater

communication system.

WorleyParsons Canada Services Ltd., Talisman Energy Farrell Creek gas field radio

system

I designed a SCADA radio system for control of a gas gathering system near Hudson s Hope,

BC. I continue to expand and support this system. I recently conducted an onsite survey to

increase coverage and improve performance of the radio system.

WorleyParsons Canada Services Ltd., Talisman Energy Ojay gas field radio system

I designed and constructed a VHF SCADA and voice radio system for control of a gas gathering

system near Tumbler Ridge, BC.

WorleyParsons Canada Services Ltd., Alaska Pipeline Project

TransCanada Pipeline Commissioned Worley Parsons Engineering to perform Conceptual

Engineering of the Alaska Pipeline project in Northern Canada and Alaska. I studied

communication requirements and performed an economic analysis of various communication

systems that could provide communication for the pipeline. A report was assembled showing the

various communication technologies that could meet the needs and communication requirements

for construction and operation of the Alaska Pipeline.

Colt Engineering Corporation (now WorleyParsons Canada Services Ltd.) Pipeline

Communication System

Colt Engineering was contracted by Talisman Energy to construct and commission a sour gas

pipeline south of Edson Alberta. I performed an analysis of communication needs, and designed,

constructed and built a 900 MHz microwave and 400 MHz SCADA and voice radio network for

communication with maintenance staff and the various block valves and monitoring points

required to control the pipeline. The project involved radio site selection, licencing and

installation and commissioning of all radio equipment.

A similar system along a pipeline running west from Edson required replacement as equipment

was obsolete and could no longer be repaired. I designed and replaced the radio and antenna

equipment, paralleling the existing system until all wells and block valves along the pipeline

could be moved over to the new system. The old radio network was then decommissioned.

I continue to support and provide radio design for new well sites and block valves along the

pipeline.

their resources in order to win this bid. I was part of a team that would coordinate and

implement installation of this radio equipment in Canadian Forces vehicles. The project

included installation of approximately 25,000 radios in 7,000 vehicles. These vehicles were

scattered over various parts of the world. The project was completed by Frontec Logistics in

1999. Approximate project value $100,000,000.

AGT Mobile Communications The City of Calgary required a communication system for

their Disaster Services Mobile Command Post. The command post was a Transit Bus that could

be located where and when required. I wrote the communication system specification for the

command post. The specification included methods of linking together the fire, police and

ambulance services along with amateur radio and other temporary forms of communication. At

the time, the 3 emergency service groups maintained independent radio systems and could not

communicate between service groups. AGT Mobile Communications was not successful in

winning the bid competition for this project. Approximate project value $500,000.

AGT Mobile Communications During 1984 and 1985, the City of Calgary requested a study
