TORONTO — Aecon Group has announced that the Steam Generator Replacement Team (SGRT), a 50/50 joint venture between Aecon and SGT, has been awarded a $700-million contract by Bruce Power to replace steam generators at Units 5, 7 and 8 of the Bruce Nuclear Generating Station in Tiverton, Ont.
SGT is a partnership between Framatome and United Engineers and Constructors.
Aecon’s share of the contract will be added to its construction segment backlog in the third quarter of 2024, stated a release.
SGRT’s scope of work as part of the Bruce Major Component Replacement project includes engineering and planning activities, the removal of existing steam generators, the installation of new steam generators, construction management and procurement of materials, and construction activities. Planning for Unit 5 has started, with the execution phase beginning in 2027 and completion of all three units anticipated by 2033.
SGRT has successfully completed steam generator replacement work on Unit 6, with Units 3 and 4 ongoing. The award of three additional units secures the remainder of Bruce Power’s steam generator replacement contracts.
Aecon is also currently undertaking fuel channel and feeder replacement work on all six of Bruce Power’s units as part of the Shoreline Power Group joint venture.
The Bruce MCR project will extend the life of the site to 2064.
“Building on the successful work by SGRT on previous units, this contract award demonstrates Bruce Power’s confidence in SGRT to successfully execute the remaining steam generator replacements safely, on-time and with excellent quality,” stated Aecon CEO Jean-Louis Servranckx in a statement.
