We have some exciting news regarding our fabrication plant rebuilding. The contract for the new plant was awarded last week and initial design work has begun. Our expectation is that we will have the building up early Q1, 2018.
We are replacing with a pre-engineered steel building so we won’t have construction crews on site for 6-8 weeks.
The plant will remain on the same 35,000 ft^2 footprint as our old facility. However we are not building office space in the new plant. The old office slab will be re purposed as a production office and employee training area.

Our new filament winding equipment has been ordered as well and we will install and commission soon after the building is turned over. Tooling which needs replacement will be ordered as jobs requiring them come to the shop.
We will post pictures as construction of the plant commences and expect to begin fabrication of vessels from the new facility late January 2018.
Until that time, we continue to work projects through our fabrication shop in Washington (www.fibrex.com) and limited operations continue in Victoria.
Thanks for everyone’s continued support. We look forward to being back to spinning shells in Victoria shortly.
