BC Hydro Chooses SNC-Lavalin Inc. to Design and Build John Hart Generating Station
We have big news this week! BC Hydro has chosen SNC-Lavalin Inc. as the preferred contractor to design and build the billion-dollar John Hart Generating Station. After a rigorous competitive procurement process that began in March 2012, BC Hydro and SNC-Lavalin, who was informed of its selection last week, will now begin final discussions toward a contract signing that will likely take place in early 2014. It’s anticipated that construction mobilization will get underway when the contract is signed. The project, scheduled for completion at the end of 2018, will create approximately 400 jobs per year, on average, throughout the five-year construction phase. The replacement facility will improve power reliability and seismic safety.
