Testimonial

"Carmanah's support and contribution to the Elkin Strander conversion significantly contributed to our safe, successful outage and conversion of both stranders.

Even though hours were long, pressures were high, and goals were aggressive, the entire team topped-off a well-executed project by completing the tasks SAFELY and without incident.

We would like to conclude with a thank you to your team for a job well done."
