Canada's climate is one of the most diverse in the world.
Temperatures range from hot, humid and highs of 40C in some
areas to lows in the Arctic of -60C. In some parts of the
country, a single location can have temperature range from lows
of -35C to highs of +35C. Many parts of the country have
heavy rainfall and hail, and other parts endure tornados. West of
the Rocky Mountains, like many countries in the Pacific Rim,
Canada has significant exposure to earthquakes.
This diverse and variable climate has created a construction
industry which is amongst the most technically advanced in the
world. Canadians have been forced to study and understand
building science in order to design and build buildings that keep
out the cold, the wind and rain, and the heat, while providing a
comfortable environment in which to live, work, and play. The
Research Councils in Canada provided the initial impetus to start
the development and thinking of the science of building
enclosures, which would enable the building to perform under
varied and extreme weather conditions. This research was
continued and expanded upon by private corporations and
individuals who refined it for their own areas of business.
Not only has advanced building design science been forced upon us
by weather conditions, the methodology used to actually erect or
construct buildings has become sophisticated for the same
reasons. The construction season in Canada is typically very
short, and erection had to be performed during the warmer
weather, or the Contractor had to maintain expensive temporary
enclosures which would enable him to continue working when
weather conditions were less than desirable. Canadian
contractors have learned to perform the work quickly, and at the
least possible cost.
These technologies were first extensively taken advantage of in
Western Canada, as the harshest conditions have always occurred
in that part of the country.
Our company continued the research and development of building
enclosure and erection technology for their own curtain wall,
window and skylight systems. Ferguson/EAP Group have worked in
this environment for thirty years. The engineering group
have developed procedures and systems that have been proven to
work in these extreme conditions. Through insitu use and through
testing in their own testing facilities, systems have been
perfected which guarantee performance.
Ferguson/EAP Group has grown in thirty years from a single
start up company to a small group of companies consisting of:
The Ferguson Group, the construction and service arm of the
operation;
The Engineered Aluminum Products Inc. (EAP), the design,
engineering, and manufacturing component of the operation.
Today, the Ferguson/EAP Group concentrates mainly on specialty
building enclosures, undertaking millions dollars worth of work
per year, utilizing any one of their patented Curtain Wall or
erection systems. Ferguson/EAP currently has several panalized or
unitized wall systems, not only for glass, but also for Granite
and Ceramics.
Ferguson/EAP have developed consulting relationships with
architects, engineers, and other companies. Ferguson/EAP provide
the consulting expertise and confidence to the engineering and
architectural community for the work in which they are engaged.
The solutions are creative and frequently innovative, but make
sense and work. Their particular expertise is in ``Rain Screen``
and Building Envelope systems.
Ferguson/EAP is able to design, engineer, fabricate, and install
glazing or any building enclosure systems, anywhere in the world.
In cases where fabrication and installation capabilities are
available locally, only the technology and the engineering
services are provided.
Ferguson/EAP work with the Architect by providing advice and
assistance in the design of the building enclosure system. We
provide guidance on connection details, frame sizes, glass types
and thicknesses, thermal and shading performance. Details for
manufacturing and construction are also provided.
EAP has their own manufacturing facility which has the capability
of manufacturing custom systems for several individual unique
projects all at one time. EAP also has the ability to source
manufactured products from many facilities around the world who
manufacture to EAPspecifications.
EAP uses advanced computer aided drafting techniques, computer
aided design, and has automated the production of fabrication
drawings from shop drawings. The company has designed and
installed enclosure and glazing systems in many of western
Canada's most unique buildings, such as Bankers Hall and the
Telus Convention Centre in Calgary, The West Edmonton Mall, The
Edmonton City Hall, and Pacific Center and the B.C. Gas building
in Vancouver. EAP has exported engineered and manufactured
products to Riyadh in Saudi Arabia and to the Winter Garden in
Battery Park, New York.
Ferguson/EAP's export interests are:
1. The selling of manufactured products to foreign purchasers.
2. The formation of joint ventures for the design and
manufacture of building enclosure products.
3. The formation of part of a design team to engineer systems
that perform in unique climates.
4. Providing Project Management services for the design,
manufacture and construction of a building exterior wall
system.
Ferguson/EAP have a vision. The vision is the driving force that
keeps the Company moving in an innovative manner towards the
visions of our Customers. Our goal is to have
