In business since 1962, Laird provides electrical, instrumentation and power-line construction and maintenance services to resource and industrial clients, primarily in the Fort McMurray and greater Edmonton regions. It has established strong long-term relationships with Suncor Energy, Syncrude Canada, TransAlta Energy, Williams Energy and other clients. Laird generates a significant portion of its revenue from providing maintenance services.

Laird Electric was acquired by Churchill in February 2003, and generated $44.3 million of revenue in 2009.

Services
Laird has a competitive advantage as an electrical contractor in that it also provides power-line installation and instrumentation services in addition to electrical construction. This multi faceted approach allows Laird to gain early access to new projects by providing the initial power service; continuing with the electrical installation during the construction phase; and then following with the ongoing instrumentation and control calibration after project completion.

Competition
Laird has several large and capable competitors in the union electrical, instrumentation and power-line construction and maintenance area. Laird is one of the three largest union electrical contractors in the Fort McMurray and Edmonton areas. Laird provides a broader range of complementary services than most of its competitors. The competitive factors affecting Laird include: price and approach to project execution; management information and cost management systems; client relationships; scope of service capabilities; quality of service; record in completing similar projects on time and on budget; safety programs and record; performance bonding capability and financial strength; owner's preference for union versus non union workforce; and relevant project experience.
