2002 G8 Summit
Kananaskis, Canada

Challenge
To create a camp for 2800 security personnel who would be guarding the world leaders attending the G8 Summit in Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada. Once the contract was awarded ATCO TRAVERS had only five months in which to plan the set-up and operation of this small city during June 2002.

Solution
The camp was constructed in just six weeks using new and used modules from throughout ATCO's western Canadian fleet, which were transported to Kananaskis by truck and installed on site. These included sleeping quarters, washrooms, telephone booths and kitchen / dining facilities.

Details
The extensive kitchen prepared food for all camp residents and ATCO TRAVERS on-site staff each day. Meals and snacks available around-the-clock, with two serving lines for quick service during peak times.
ATCO TRAVERS (a joint venture created for this project between ATCO Structures and Travers Food Services) was given a mandate to leave the Nakiska ski resort - the temporary location for more than 300 transportable buildings - in the same or better condition than when they started. This included the moving and installation phases of the project, when workers were not permitted to cut down trees or even take their vehicles off designated roads.

Once the camp was fully operational, the two-day summit passed quickly and smoothly. ATCO TRAVERS successfully passed a final audit, which showed no adverse impact on the site.
