MISSISSAUGA, ON, Dec. 14, 2017 /CNW/ - Bird Construction Inc.
("Bird") announced today it is part of a consortium to design,
build, finance and maintain Bruce Power's new Office Complex and
Training Facility (the "Project") for an undisclosed amount. The
Project, located in Kincardine,
Ontario, is a new facility for Bruce Power that will be used
to house office staff and for training of staff for its nuclear
refurbishment program. Bird, as a member of the consortium that is
lead by Concert Infrastructure, will carry out the design and
construction of the Project.
The Project will include a 129,000-square-foot building that
will house a new two-storey office area with classrooms, amenities
and facilities for nearly 500 employees, as well as a warehouse
training space required for the Bruce Power Major Component
Replacement projects in support of the Government of Ontario's long-term energy plan. The Project
also includes, as part of Bird's scope, site development including
site services, a storm water pond, extension of a municipal road
into the site, parking and landscaping.
Bird has been involved in the design of the facility as well as
early works program and expects to commence construction activities
shortly with the new centre expected to open in early 2019.
"This project win is a good example of the success of both the
strategic diversification efforts of our industrial work program
and entrance into the nuclear market," said Ian Boyd, Bird's President and CEO. "We are very
excited to be working in the early stages of Bruce Power's reactor
refurbishment program, which is set to begin in 2020 and will run
through 2033."
