Calgary Courthouse
We reassembled a Kohler 1600REOZM standby generator set on the 22nd floor on the South Tower for the new Calgary Law Courts Building. We supplied a pair of 1.5 MWe generator sets, a passel (tech. term) of transfer switches and a full autoparalleling system for the two units. Interestingly, the sets are in different, adjacent buildings and the switchgear is located on the 13th floor of one of the buildings. The generators traveled separately owing to crane capacity considerations. The units were reassembled once they were in place.


Silenced, cold weather capable, 400 kWe Genset for GE International
A 400 kWe generator set powered by a John Deere 6125H (tier 2) diesel engine is enclosed in a custom-built Trailmobile trailer. The Newage Stamford model HCI434F alternator is capable of 400 kW output at 480V at 125 C temperature rise.

GE International employs this piece of equipment to provide field service for oil filled transformers. The sound attenuated generator enclosure is climate controlled by thermostatic radiator shutters and a diesel fuelled circulating block heater ensures that the engine will start in a sub-arctic environment.

Frontier Power provided a turn-key package that included design, construction, installation and testing.


Arctic Power
There are places where the power just has to be reliable. Canada's arctic is one of those places.

When camp supplier Weatherhaven was called upon to provide facilities and power for a remote BHP mineral exploration site, they selected reliable prime power generator sets from Frontier Power Products. The units feature John Deere 6081 engines driving Newage-Stamford AC generators. Output ratings for the sets are 145 and 200 kWe. These fuel efficient PowerLine® generator sets are housed in our Quiet Power sound attenuating enclosures.

Weatherhaven, a world leader in the supply of temporary shelters, has relied on Frontier's generator sets for demanding sites in many parts of the world. Frontier is proud to be a Weatherhaven supplier. It is an endorsement of quality, efficiency and reliability to be chosen.


PowerTowers at Suncor
These pictures of our stationary PowerTower light towers were taken at the Suncor tar sands site in Northern Alberta. These are power by Kubota D905BG engines, with a Newage/Stamford generator. This shows some of the special modifications available.


Westcoast 46
This vessel was built by Westcoast Custom Yachts in Mission, BC. The main engine is a John Deere 6081AFM, 375 hp. The marine gear is a Twin Disc MG5075, 2:1 ratio. These pictures were taken Sidney Harbour, Canoe Cove Marina.

Fishing lodge power
West Coast Resort's new lodge in Tasu Sound on the West coast of the Queen Charlotte Islands accommodates 24 guests.

Two John Deere powered generator sets (125 kW 6081TF001 JD engine and 100 kW 6068TF150 JD engine) provide power for all the comforts of home. They are heat exchanger cooled and incorporates "heat recovery" from the engine cooling system which supplements the domestic hot water.


Secret Cove "58"
We supplied two John Deere 6081AFM marine engines in this pleasure boat. The engines provide 330 hp @ 2300 rpm. The transmissions (also supplied by us) are ZF 2.47:1.

La Porsche
We installed two John Deere 4045T marine diesel generator sets with electronic governing. These are 70 kW 3 phase sets.

We installed two John Deere 6081AFM marine engines in this Canada Coast Guard pollution response vessel. This boat has a 49' aluminum hull.


John Deere 4045DFM NEUBW

We installed a 85 hp keel-cooled John Deere 4045DFM marine diesel in this new 40' pleasure boat vessel built by Reyse Marine of Surrey, BC


50 to 60 Hz Motor Generator Set
We built this unit for a customer in a country with 50 Hz electricity so they could test North American built 60 Hz equipment. This is a 50 Hz, 415 V, 150 HP electric motor running at 1500 RPM belt driving a Newage Stamford 100 kWe, 208 V, 60 Hz alternator at 1800 RPM.


Oilfield Service Units
These units were designed and built for "oilfield" service in the Canadian North Rental fleet. One is 60 kW and the other is 100 kW. Both units have extensive and versatile distribution systems. There are multiple duplex recepticles, multiple 30A twist lock connectors and 100A Hubble type pin and sleeve connectors. All electrical work is CSA approved and labeled. The fuel tank is double wall UL listed. It has propane block heater and coolant actuated shutter stats. The building is 10 gauge material, has storage rack and lights inside and out. These are built on a heavy duty H- beam oil field sniped skid base.


Ferry Repower
OK... it's a small ferry.

These passenger-only boats ply False Creek, connecting downtown Vancouver with Granville Island. We replaced the existing Yanmar with a Kubota V1305 marine diesel engine.


Prefabricated Self-Contained Power House
We started with a good used 20' shipping container. Notice the recessed wall (for fresh air intake).

We installed 60 kW (4BG1T) Isuzu and 25 kW (4JG1) Isuzu engines, Stamford AC alternators fuel tank, manual transfer switch and a 250 Gallon "contained" fuel tank. The units have Cowl residential-grade silencers, Racor water fuel separators and complete safety shutdowns.

The power house is CSA approved. We delivered it on site ready to run.


Fish Hatchery Pumps
Frontier Power Products recently completed a "supply and install" contract for a government agency at a remote site in Northern British Columbia.

We removed two old 2 cycle engines and replaced them with fuel efficient John Deere 4045TFM marine engines. The engines power right angle pumps for a fish hatchery, running continuously 24/7 from September to April.

The job included all electrical, heat exchanger plumbing, exhaust and commissioning.
