It’s only natural that a company headquartered in Nipawin, Saskatchewan, would know a thing or two about water and how to handle it. Located a stone’s throw from the E/B, Campbell Dam, which created nearby Tobin Lake, is the home of North Fringe Industrial Technologies, a company that provides solutions for clients with water-related challenges or issues.
Established in 2005 by Brett Cain, North Fringe Industrial Technologies (NFIT) offers products and services which include manufactured pump stations and dewatering stations, pump sales, screens, and pump and hose rentals. NFIT also has trained and specialized technicians to handle all of your in-house pump repairs. They are your one-stop shop for parts – including hoses of all types, sizes and varieties – along with all kinds of accessories.
NFIT also specializes in dewatering, evaporation, filtration, and dredging. Their areas of specialization are in sectors such as mining, oil and gas, industrial, and agri-food, as well as municipal and marine.
“We’ve been fortunate in that our products and services can cover off a wide variety of industries,” says Brett Cain, president of NFIT. “So, if a particular industry or sector is experiencing a downturn, we’re diversified enough that another sector will likely pick up some of that slack. And, when you throw in natural causes such as floodwater and wildfire fighting and suppression, which of course cannot really be predicted or planned for, North Fringe is always well-positioned to help our customers in one way or another.”
NFIT services its clients – which go from coast to coast to coast – from either its head office location in Nipawin, Saskatchewan, or from their two other locations in Gibbons, Alberta and Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. NFIT also has a number of sales contacts, primarily across the prairies, to meet the needs of their growing clientele.
Like the sources and bodies of water that it handles and displaces, North Fringe is mobile and flexible to meet the needs of its customers. With 500 pieces in their rental fleet, including diesel, electric and submersible pumps, light towers, generators, hose, pipe and frost fighters, their services include on-the-spot delivery to any exploration and construction sites, to locations as remote and specialized as diamond mines in Canada’s rugged Northwest Territories.
Having such challenging territory and terrain to cover, it only makes sense that NFIT offers only the best in pumps and accessories. They carry a full line of pumps such as Pioneer Centrifugal Pumps, Grindex Submersible Pumps, Air Diaphragm pumps, Griswold Ansi Pumps, Grundfos Pumps, and many process and positive displacement pumps.
“We have a great line of pumps and pump products, whether it’s in sales, service, rentals, dredging, or dewatering, we’re confident we have the product for every need,” says Cain. “Whatever the problem, we think we can provide a solution.”
