Bird announces five projects in four provinces

MISSISSAUGA, ONT. — Bird Construction has announced it has been selected for five projects with a total combined value exceeding $575 million.

The projects include civil site works and foundations at two industrial projects in Alberta and Saskatchewan, a multi-year master service agreement (MSA) in the petrochemical sector, an expansion in scope of an existing multi-year task order in the nuclear sector in Ontario, and a long-term care project in B.C., stated a release.

Project details include:

• Bird has been awarded a civil and concrete package for works at Dow’s Path2Zero Project in Alberta. In late 2023, Dow Chemical announced plans to invest $6.5 billion in the world’s first net-zero petrochemical project, which involves a brownfield expansion and retrofitting of its existing manufacturing site in Fort Saskatchewan, Alta.
• The 2NationsBird joint venture has been awarded foundations and underground utilities work at SaskPower’s Aspen Power Station Project, a 370-megawatt power station that will support renewable power generation in Saskatchewan.
• Bird’s maintenance, repair and operations team has been awarded a five-year MSA with an existing long-term client.
• Bird’s team was awarded a second year of a previously announced multi-year task order under the Port Hope Area Initiative Master Construction Contract in Ontario by Canadian Nuclear Laboratories after completion of the first full year.

Bird CEO Teri McKibbon stated, “With robust demand in our target sectors, we remain disciplined in our project selection and focused on delivering strong performance through 2024 and beyond, with ongoing value creation for our shareholders.”
