with Victaulic, and their goal is to maintain that relationship – as well as their relationships with other partners like them. They believe those relationships are the key to their continued growth. They also believe that those partnerships are necessary for innovation – which has always been a part of Pitt Meadows DNA, and Sambelieves it always will be. “Innovation is what we’re really striving for,” he says. “We really are pushing the limits of what mechanical contractors can do in North America. I think we’re definitely ahead of the curve.” “For example, we’re really treating our fabrication space as a manufacturing facility. We’ve worked very hard to tie in an electronic fabrication system in with automated tooling – so we have robotic welding machines, we have automated saws, we have robotic plasma cutting machines, and that’s all tied directly with our Revit models at this point. We’re really driving the technology forward.” Sambelieves that Pitt Meadows’ ability to move so fast and push technology so far is a credit to their relative youth. Even though the company is longstanding, and has some longstanding team members, Sam explains that 65 per cent of their team is below the age of 35 – and that includes him and Shalana, who are in senior positions. “So it’s definitely a young, innovative, fast-moving, quickto-pivot place to work,” he concludes, “and we’re very proud of that fact.” APRIL 2022
