New Issue of Sustainable Business Magazine – with feature article on URECON
Internationally recognized, Dockside Green, a mixed-used harbourfront project in Victoria B.C., uses waste wood, backed up with natural gas, for its heating system. It is known as a ‘triple bottom line’ development – one whose success is measured in social and environmental as well economic terms. The master plan includes 26 buildings totalling 1.3 million square feet of mixed residential, office, retail and light industrial space ... all heated with a hot water district energy system using Kingspan LOGSTOR European piping from Urecon.

Drake Landing
The Drake Landing Solar Community (DLSC) is a master planned neighbourhood in the Town of Okotoks, Alberta, Canada that has successfully integrated Canadian energy efficient technologies with a renewable, unlimited energy source - the sun. The first of its kind in North America, DLSC is heated by a district energy system designed to store abundant solar energy underground during the summer months and distribute the energy to each home for space heating needs during winter months.

Mining in the Extreme North – Freeze Protection
Urecon specializes in freeze protection solutions for mining operations in the far north. For decades we’ve been recognized as leaders in design and supply of heat traced plastic (HDPE) piping systems – intended specifically for extreme cold temperature. Many of these remote sites are accessible only by winter roads. Far beyond access to hydro lines, northern mines generate their own electricity using trucked in diesel fuel. Urecon assists in optimizing complete systems to best deliver freeze protected piping - without excess electrical power consumption from heat tracing demands.
