Comment Print

Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada 24 June 2014 -- E.S. Fox Ltd. of Saint John has been awarded a contract of over $2 million as part of the Irving Pulp & Paper modernization announced in March of this year.

Work began on June 15 and will continue to mid-December as the company undertakes the design, fabrication, delivery, site installation, and testing of modular utility racks. The racks are comprised of a structural steel frame with long pipe sections and will connect the existing facilities with the new continuous cooking plant at Irving Pulp & Paper in Saint John.

The project will involve seven company employees and 25 additional trades workers including ironworkers and pipefitters.

Almost 40 additional jobs will be generated by E.S. Fox Ltd. through subcontract work:  at Lenron Transport in Saint John (for delivery of finished modules from the fabrication shop to the pulp mill), as well as Titan, located in St. Antoine, NB who will employ 30 people in steel fabrication for the project.

“Forest products manufacturers have been a mainstay of jobs for our company for 60 years.  The modernization of the pulp mill is the largest single site contract for our company and will sustain employment for about 40 people,” said Steve Doyle, Area Manager for E.S. Fox Ltd.

“As a New Brunswick company, we are committed to using qualified local suppliers in the $450 million pulp mill modernization underway in Saint John,” said Mark Mosher, Vice President of Pulp & Paper at J.D. Irving, Limited.  “To date we have issued over $15 million in local contracts to New Brunswick companies and expect to issue a similar amount by September.”
