MONTREAL, Oct. 20,
2022 /CNW Telbec/ - SNC-Lavalin (TSX: SNC), a
fully integrated professional services and project management
company with offices around the world, today announces it has been
awarded a series of three contracts with the Société Québécoise des
infrastructures (Quebec Infrastructure Corporation), to strengthen
hospital infrastructure at sites across Quebec. Major expansion and redevelopment work
will take place at the Hospital of Chicoutimi, Sept-Îles Hospital, and the
Charles Le Moyne Hospital. A central focus of the projects will be
expansions and redevelopments of operating rooms and specialized
care units at the facilities.
"SNC-Lavalin has a long history of working on projects that have
a unique and long-lasting impact on the cities and communities it
serves in Canada and around the
world," said Ian L. Edwards,
President and Chief Executive Officer, SNC-Lavalin. "We know that
governments are investing heavily in infrastructure, including
public investment in healthcare, and we're well positioned to
capture a healthy portion of that spend as we have the regional and
global expertise of our Engineering Services business across
healthcare and life sciences."
SNC-Lavalin's Engineering Services group, and its consortium
partners, will support Société Québécoise des infrastructures by
providing design and engineering, site surveillance, building
information modelling management, and value engineering services
during the next five years. SNC-Lavalin will also be supporting
efforts to achieve LEED building environmental certifications, in
recognition of portfolio decarbonization at the three sites. The
cross-functional project teams, based out of the Company's hubs in
Montreal and Quebec City, will be composed of structural,
civil, mechanical, and electrical engineers with significant
hospital project experience.
"Expansion and modernization work at these three hospitals will
measurably increase capacity and improve patient care in the
province," said Ben Almond, CEO,
Engineering Services, Canada,
SNC-Lavalin. "Our track record executing projects such as these in
Quebec is well known as we have
delivered much of the province's healthcare infrastructure. And as
hospital emergency room capacity remains strained across
Canada, we are ready to support
other public sector partners with expansion and optimization
projects."
