Contract For Wharf At Cow Head Oil Rig Servicing Facility Awarded A contract for $C6,685,054 has been awarded to Foundation-Lun- drigans, a joint venture for the con- struction of a wharf at the oil rig facility at Cow Head on the Burin Peninsula. The wharf, which was designed by Newfoundland Design Associates of St. John's, will measure 125 meters long with a 44 meter by 23 meter head block and will be capable of accommodating two oil rigs as well as supply vessels at the same time. The project is scheduled for comple- tion early in 1986.

When completed, the Cow Head facility will consist of three main elements including the wharf struc- ture together with a rock-filled causeway, a site storage area and a service building. The estimated cost of the entire project is $Cll million which is cost shared on a 70:30 basis between the Federal and Provincial Govern- ments under the Burin Peninsula Development Fund Agreement. The Cow Head oil rig servicing facility is an expansion of Marys- town Shipyard Limited and will be supported by the workforce as well as the fabricating and machining facilities at the yard, ft is antici- pated that the facility will provide a saving of up to 40 percent on rig ser- vicing costs. Anixter Relocates Evanston Facility Anixter Bros., Inc., headquar- tered in Skokie, 111., has moved its Evanston, 111., facility to a larger service center located at 2201 Main Street, a 60,000-square-foot proper- ty recently purchased by the compa- ny. The announcement was made by Larry Walsh, regional vice presi- dent. The Evanston facility was the ori- ginal site of Anixter headquarters when the company was founded in 1957. Later, as the company ex- panded, the building on Brummel served as a major sales/distribution center for the Midwest. This ar- rangement continued until a further business expansion necessitated a move.
