document control, human resources, finance,
project management, project controls, estimat-
ing team, and of course it offers a home-base
for our construction and commissioning staffs,”
says Sharpe. “This will create strength through-
out the company, having a positive impact also
on the operations of our companies in Edmon-
ton, Saskatchewan, the Atlantic, California, and
North Carolina.”
Wicehtowak Rising Edge
Technologies
Recognizing an opportunity to work more in
the community, specifically by increasing local
participation and inclusion in their service areas,
Rising Edge formed a new partnership with the
business arm of George Gordon First Nation,
calling it Wicehtowak Rising Edge Technologies
LP, or WRETLP.
“WRETLP really was born from mutual recogni-
tion by George Gordon Developments Ltd., the
business arm of the George Gordon First Nation,
and Rising Edge that we could benefit the other
to accomplish each of our goals,” says Sharpe.
“George Gordon was motivated to do projects
for the Nation on the Nation. They wanted to
take a proactive and progressive approach to
achieving that. As such, the goal of WRETLP is
to bring project opportunities and prosperity to
the George Gordon First Nation and Rising Edge
Group.”
Rising Edge continually seeks out innovative
and efficient ways to complete projects for their
clients. A notably example is the team’s work on
Capital Power’s Whitla Wind Project (Phase 1)
in Bow Island, Alberta, a very exciting Capital
Power renewables project with planned capac-
ity of 201.6 MW.
“Renewable Energy is at the forefront of the
energy industry and Rising Edge is one of the
leading service providers when it comes to high
Voltage Substations and Overhead and Under-
ground Collector Systems for renewables proj-
ects,” says Sharpe. “With Whitla Wind, Rising
Edge is completing a full-EPC for the substa-
tion, collector system and roads—engineering,
procurement, management, construction, and
commissioning.”
