specific applications and requirements. As the relationship evolved, we became a Canadian supply representative for AKS, combining our remote construction and deployment expertise with their high-quality products to offer a premium service to companies operating in Canada’ s most remote regions.
“ At AKS, there’ s a dedicated team headed by Carolyn Bishop, with whom we’ ve worked closely over the years and built a fantastic relationship. With collaboration and communication, we turn ideas into ready-toship orders in quick timeframes, and the crew at AKS have been instrumental in providing seamless support for our requirements, especially Monica, Christina, and Darlene.”
Together with AKS, DMS delivered Covid-19 drive-through testing shelters during the pandemic, helping government agencies, hospitals, and city health departments respond to urgent care and testing needs.
The building systems were engineered for rapid installation in just 30 minutes by a crew of four people, with no foundation required, low maintenance, and reconfigurable features like removable side curtains and flexible end panels.
Today, DMS is experiencing increased demand due to upcoming capital infrastructure projects, including increased defense projects like self-contained and rapid deployment platforms.“ Demand for temporary infrastructure will remain strong for the foreseeable future but we expect it will expand from being exclusively focused on exploration and mining to also supporting remediation and infrastructure development projects,” Rod shares.
With increased demand in mind, DMS is strengthening its systems and capabilities while also continuing to look after current projects and customers.“ Our focus for the balance of 2026 is managing the camps that have recently been or are soon to be deployed in the field,” Trevor says.“ This includes camps that are both client-owned and contracted to DMS to provide all labor components such as site services, heavy equipment operators, and catering and hospitality services. We are also engaging with new clients to support civil and defense department infrastructure projects and expect to see that engagement grow in the near term and beyond 2026.
“ We see the business positioning itself in a strong place to respond to the increased activity around large scale civil infrastructure development, as well as supporting the Department of National Defense with its intended increased activity in our immediate region,” Trevor concludes.“ While we’ re open to growth in new or non-traditional markets, this will be measured and intentional, so we remain committed to our clients in the exploration, mining, and remediation sectors.” ■
