Professional Services in Ottawa

Navigating the world of TSSA and B139 Code compliance is complex and sometimes overwhelming. With SAO Contracting at your side, you will be able to manage it with confidence. We offer a variety of quality services that will be tailored to your specific needs, all at competitive rates. 

Piping and Accessory Upgrades

Our technicians can boost your operational efficiency by replacing entire piping or turning sections, obtaining specific parts crucial to your operations, and bringing any oil-fired appliance valves or fitting up to B139 Code. Large-scale operations such as data centers, mining companies, and hospitals can particularly benefit from system upgrades. Regardless of the size of your environment, we will thoroughly analyze the work that needs to be done, as well as seamless integration with your existing system. 

Fuel Tank Testing and Installation

Ottawa businesses that need access to diesel refills require a fuel oil delivery certificate that can only be issued by an OBT-1 technician. SAO Contracting technicians are certified to provide this service. This means that we bring the technical understanding and regulation expertise to help your fuel systems and engine-driven appliances meet Ontario industry standards. 

Generator Exhaust Testing and Installation

Improper testing or poor installation will cause CO2 leaks. It is absolutely critical to prevent such exhaust leaks as they can be fatal. In addition, the generator exhausts burn hot and can cause fires if the proper clearance of combustible materials is not taken into account. Our team will measure the unit’s physical placement, noise reduction requirements of the area, allowable back pressure, and the size of the system to your facility. From retirement homes to schools (25 to 150 kilowatts) to hospitals and large facilities (150 kilowatts and more), our team is equipped to handle the needs of your environment. SAO Contracting will ensure your generator exhaust system is functional, optimized, and safe. 

Pump Setup and Installation

To ensure reliable, effective fuel transfer, we handle the complete installation process, including pump selection, above-ground tanks, electrical connections, and system integration. We will recommend the most suitable pump types and piping systems based on your requirements. From our experience, problems with emergency generators and fire pumps often arise from poor installation. SAO Contracting provides the proper starting point to keep you operational.

Damper Testing and Commissioning

Ottawa businesses must take precautions to minimize the threat of a worst-case scenario to their staff and buildings. Stay compliant and safe with our comprehensive damper testing, commissioning, and Airflow calculation services. Properly sized and functioning damper systems prevent building depressurization, allowing for proper exiting in an emergency. For instance, a depressurized building environment causes more air to exit than what is entering. This would prevent you from opening the door because it’s being sucked shut. This is also a code violation (both B139 and building code.) We possess the calibrated equipment and ability to conduct advanced testing in both commercial and industrial properties.

Fuel Cleaning and Polishing for Tanks Under 1500g

SAO Contracting has Ottawa’s small to medium sized systems covered. We provide diesel fuel polishing solutions of long-term diesel above ground storage tanks having a capacity of 1500g (or less) our polishing process removes metal, water, contaminants, and micro bacterial growth all performed by our licensed OBT1 and PM3 staff to ensure your equipment lasts and performs when it is most needed.

 

Ensuring Compliance & Meeting Standards

We check if your fuel system equipment complies with the following standards: 

  • B139-19 Oil Burning Appliance Code: This code, developed in Canada, provides guidelines for the installation, operation, and maintenance of oil-burning appliances.
  • TSSA Generator Requirement Code: The Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) Generator Requirement Code outlines the safety requirements for the installation and operation of generators, including provisions for fuel storage, electrical connections, and exhaust systems.
  • Canadian National Building Code: The Canadian National Building Code (CNBC) is a model code that establishes minimum requirements for the design, construction, and occupancy of buildings in Canada.
  • NFPA 20 code for engine-driven fire pumps

Safety and compliance are serious matters. We are meticulous in our assurance that your operations meet Ontario safety regulations.

The parts to repair these types of equipment are not available off the shelf, and rental generators are very expensive. Maintaining your system with trained professionals is important to save your budget in the long run. SAO Contracting is committed to providing flexible and valuable services.
