Rock Piles or Thermo Siphons are the way to go. Most of the cost are for shipping from Montreal and flying in most of the contractors or subs. The big GC and Mechnical in town are big enough to do them but most of their staff rotate in from the south. NF, AB & QC.

Tenders will go out in Jan, Shop Drawings review by April to have product in Montreal for the first ship in June.
