Estevan 鈥� When over 300 people attended a contractor鈥檚 meeting in Weyburn for Quantum Energy, Inc./Dominion Energy Processing Group, Inc.鈥檚 proposed Stoughton refinery, they were told by Keith Stemler, then CEO of Dominion, that he didn鈥檛 want to take home their binders on the flight back to British Columbia. Instead, they would be collecting business cards which they would then pass onto their soon-to-be announced engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firm.
Of those who have attended, not one company Pipeline News has spoken to since then has been contacted.
Ryan Swayze of Swayze Concrete in Weyburn said on May 11, 鈥淚 have no idea what鈥檚 going on.鈥�
He hasn鈥檛 had any calls 鈥淣ot one.鈥�
Justin Wappel of AGI Envirotank in Biggar came down for the meeting, looking for tank manufacturing work. Wappel said on May 14, 鈥淣o, I haven鈥檛 heard anything. I left them cards, digital brochures. It鈥檚 been at least six months since I sent my last email. No response.鈥�
Coderre Construction has a number of gravel pits in relatively close proximity to the site. As of May 11, Del Coderre, owner, hadn鈥檛 heard anything. 鈥淚 left a card,鈥� he said.
Did anyone phone? 鈥淣o,鈥� he replied.
Randy Fleck of Land Solutions in Lampman, said on May 10, 鈥淭hey didn鈥檛 want anything but a business card. They never called.鈥�
