NORWALK, CONNECTICUT, September 3, 2009 - EMCOR Group, Inc. (NYSE: EME), a Fortune 500® leader in mechanical and electrical construction, energy infrastructure and facilities services for a diverse range of businesses reported, as previously noted during its 7/30/09 Second Quarter Earnings Call, that its Comstock Canada subsidiary has received a contract from the City of Toronto for an odor control HVAC upgrade project at the Ashbridges Bay Wastewater Treatment Plant, the City of Toronto's main sewage treatment facility and the largest such plant in Canada.

 

Comstock will serve as the prime contractor on this project, and will self-perform the electrical and mechanical systems installation and structural construction.

Electrically, its work will involve installing new transformers, upgrading the gas monitoring system and switchgear, and installing additional lighting and heaters.

 

"We are honored to have been chosen for this upgrade project for the Ashbridges Bay Wastewater Treatment Plant," said Geoff Birkbeck, CEO of Comstock. "With more than 100 years being the premier mechanical and electrical contractor in Canada, Comstock will provide Ashbridges the systems and expertise it needs in order to ensure a high-performance facility."
