Leading Edge Security Technology

Caliber Communications Inc. is a technology-based Canadian company that has created a flexible, cost effective and reliable replacement to physical guarding services. The company has engineered and developed a unique communications platform that operates on the cellular infrastructure anywhere in North America. To date, this platform has been specifically utilized for applications requiring remote security monitoring in a variety of industries, locations and settings. The platform is completely modular and can be completely independent of existing infrastructure where no resources are available. This allows the units to be set up anywhere they are required to provide effective security coverage. If power is not readily available, the units are designed to operate on very low wattage making solar power a viable solution. All units provide 360 degrees of situational awareness with stationary cameras. Additionally, all units come equipped with a PTZ camera (pan, tilt, zoom) to drill into the images and gather specific data for evidence.

Scrapyard Equipment & Operations Volvo excavators key to Tervita’s strategy on the road to continued growth in scrap recycling

November 9, 2016

Stuart Sharpe, Tervita Metals Recycling GM, says his team is gaining fuel efficiency and lowering operating costs as new generations of shears are allowing them to get the same power on 35- and 40-ton machines that used to be achieved with only larger machines.

Early every morning when general manager Stuart Sharpe and his team arrive at the sprawling Tervita Metals Recycling worksite, located in northeast Red Deer, Alberta, they gaze over tons and tons of what others would call junk. But their eyes see nothing but treasure. This massive 17-acre site is the headquarters of Tervita’s metal recycling operation. From above, it looks like a maze created from every type of scrap metal imaginable. There are damaged railcars, rows of worn railcar wheels, expired city buses, kilometres of used gas-field piping, expendable parts from oil wells, drill rigs, bitumen concentrators, cooling radiators and heating units and parts from gas refineries.
