It was a clean sweep by Alberta. Three of the winners are from 488 and two are from 496.

 

All indications from the comments are that it was a great competition and all went well, with a few minor bumps, but nothing serious. A few competitors commented about material shortage from the BOM, but if they had executed the work to the drawings they would have done better I am sure.

 

The winners of the UA Western Regional 2012 Competitions are:

 

HVAC: Dennis Cowan/ Local 488

 

Welder: Phil Azevedo/ Local 488

 

Steamfitter/Pipefitter: Dean Fradette/ Local 488

 

Sprinkler Fitter: Cliff Iwaasa/Local 496

 

Plumber: Michael Metcalfe/Local 496
