MISSISSAUGA, ONT. – Bird Construction Inc. has signed five new contracts for energy, power, manufacturing and multi-storey modular work with a combined value of over $530 million.
The awarded contracts include a large manufacturing facility, the Kakabeka Falls Generating Station Life Extension Project, two contracts for large energy clients, and a 13-storey modular tower for BC Housing’s Permanent Supportive Housing Initiative, a release said.
“These awards reflect the success we are achieving in the diversification of our work program across Canada with our significant self-perform capabilities, strong project management, and forward-leaning accelerated construction solutions,” Bird president and CEO Teri McKibbon said in a statement.
Bird subsidiary Stuart Olson Industrial Constructors has been contracted for the Kakabeka Falls Generating Station Life Extension Project by Ontario Power Generation (OPG) in a 50/50 joint venture to enhance the longevity and efficiency of the station, situated on the Kaministiquia River near Thunder Bay.
The station is comprised of four hydroelectric generating units and will undergo upgrades to increase power output and extend its operational life. Bird’s role involves design and installation of two new hydro generation units to replace the current four existing generators as well as construction of a new surge building and penstocks along with the rehabilitation of the existing powerhouse.
Bird was also awarded a new project and a separate significant change order within an existing project with two clients in the Wood Buffalo region of Alberta for site infrastructure work and other project services, including concrete foundations, instrumentation and controls as well as telecommunications, fibre optic, mechanical and high and low voltage electrical services.
An additional construction management contract was awarded for a 13-storey modular tower for BC Housing’s Permanent Supportive Housing Initiative, located on West 8th Avenue in Vancouver. The structure has been recognized as the tallest modular build in Canada and is Bird’s second multi-storey modular construction project design that will be delivered by its Stack Modular business.
The 13-storey modular project is part of the permanent supportive housing initiative between BC Housing, the City of Vancouver and the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation to deliver a minimum of 300 permanent supportive homes on five city-owned sites to meet the growing need for supportive housing.
