RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Back in after election trade.Also, as a follow up to the above, a significant amount of cap ex in 2019 ($25 mil in the first 9 months and $13 mil estimated for Q4) was growth cap ex to get the fleet up to a max use capacity to work on two major pipelines (TMX & CGL) simultaneously. Based on my work, this is pretty close to the growth cap ex needed to facilitate the backlog (of course with maintenance cap ex still needed) – perhaps a little more in early 2020.
Cormark has the projected cap ex spend dropping to $15 mil in 2020, so obviously less growth cap ex needed in their view and a higher percentage of the cap ex spend as pure maintenance.
The question on more growth cap ex in the coming years depends on new projects/facilities work and the capacity of the existing fleet to service the new work. Anyone have any insight on fleet capacity & growth cap ex issues?
