FEATURE: Tundra Process Solutions – Solutions From One End to Another

A supplier and packager of innovative process technologies, Tundra Process Solutions (‘Tundra’) is unique in the depth and diversity of services and expertise that it provides. “We can provide a complete solution to the full scope of a project,” explains Blaine Barnes, VP of Marketing at Tundra. “We’re able to provide that complete package solution and full lifecycle support on that solution; we can assist with everything from the design of vendor-packages through to the fabrication of the particular product.”

Founded in Alberta by an Albertan, Tundra was founded as a true grassroots organization by Dan Peet in 1999. Over the years, the company has maintained its head office in Calgary, while branching out to Edmonton with its second biggest office, with other satellite offices in Fort St. John, Regina, and throughout the US. Tundra also owns SSi Artificial Lift, a company that provides innovative artificial lift systems for oil and gas production, manufacturing their products in Calgary.

Tundra began as an instrumentation and automation company, providing measurement, valves and other products for oil and gas facilities. Once ready to expand, Tundra naturally moved into selling the world’s most popular pre-packaged boilers to a variety of industries including water treatment, health care and educational facilities. The largest pre-packaged steam boilers in the world were also used in Alberta oil sands facilities, and as a result they helped to minimize water wastage.  From there, the company branched into motors and drives, becoming a leader in integrating drives into buildings and panels within the energy sector. Today, the company holds a unique position because it is comprised of seven different divisions, each making the world and the energy industry safer, greener, and more efficient. In addition, a number of Tundra’s individual divisions are often the same magnitude of its competitors’ entire operations.

The company’s responsiveness to its clients’ needs sets it apart from larger firms. “We want to provide you a solution from one end to the other,” says Barnes. Even if the problem isn’t yet entirely identified, Tundra works toward finding a process that will solve the client’s issue. Clients are able to source various technologies and products solely from Tundra, rather than several different suppliers, which removes the guessing game of which supplier’s product has an issue should any repairs or maintenance be required in the future.

Tundra’s full lifecycle of support begins with establishing client trust in its people. From inception, the company has provided a real voice on the other end of the phone that understands client wants and needs. For Tundra, it’s important that they build authentic client relationships through real conversations. Combined with Tundra’s proven track record of hundreds of successfully built and integrated buildings, thousands of panels, and several hundred thousand product solutions, the company has truly established a strong reputation. In the end, this helps Tundra further its larger goal of making its customers’ lives easier, safer, and greener.

The company also holds a number of safety memberships, including ComplyWorks, ISNetworld, Avetta, and a Certificate of Recognition (COR), making Tundra a trustworthy supplier for custom solutions. In the end, Tundra believes that by enhancing processes and efficiencies, return on investment can be maximized for the client.

In addition to client-centred values, the company values innovation. Tundra has designed the Acceleration Centre for Entrepreneurs (A.C.E.) Program to advance Alberta’s upcoming businesses’ commercialization of innovative products and services to solve industry problems.  For instance, Tundra’s subsidiary company, SSi, has recently developed and installed the longest stroking rod pump (pump jack) in the world. MSA and General Monitors, Tundra-exclusive manufacturing partners, have released the Ultima X5000 and S5000 Gas Monitors. These fixed gas detection systems now self-monitor, increasing safety while allowing extended calibration and lifetime. Proudly enhancing Alberta’s largest industry, Tundra works to provide greener solutions to companies within the energy sector for the benefit of present and future generations.

 

Over and above “greener solutions,” Tundra is committed to contributing to the community in which they operate, a value that is demonstrated throughout their company, the A.C.E. program, and their . In particular, Tundra supports organizations such as the Kids Cancer Care Foundation of Alberta and is recognized by Imagine Canada as a strong presence in its community.

The competitive advantage of having diverse products and services and, therefore, clients has afforded Tundra consistent growth and a prosperous future. As such, the company continues to look for ways to provide systems that sense, measure, and provide data that empowers its clients. Future work will go towards systems that continue to reduce costs and increase efficiencies for Tundra’s clients.
