22000 BPD - Commercial SAGD Plant - Phase II

A Kiewit-led joint venture constructed the second phase of the 22,000-barrels-per-day (BPD), steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) EPC project. The scope of work included a central plant facility, well pads and pipeline as well as a featured 85-megawatt turbine, a generator, a heat recovery steam generator and a once-through steam generator.

CNRL - Horizon Sulphur Plant

One of the first EPC contracts awarded, the Canadian Natural Resources Limited Horizon project involves the extraction of oil sands reserves. In January 2005, a Kiewit-led partnership was awarded this engineer-procure-construct (EPC) contract for an 800-tons-per-day gas-treating and sulphur recovery plant.

3000 BPD SAGD Plant

The SAGD plant was an EPC project to construct a steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) pilot facility designed for an output of 3,000 barrels-per-day. The team self-performed the grading, piping, concrete foundations, electrical, module fabrication, instrumentation and module setting. The project peaked at 200 craft and worked more than 500,000 hours without a lost-time incident.

White Rose Topsides

With a peak employment of more than 1,000 personnel, a Kiewit-led joint venture is engineering, procuring and constructing this 18-module, 11,000-tonne topsides at its Newfoundland fabrication facilities. The topsides will be integrated with a hull and turret for a projected “sail away” completion in July 2005.

Hamburg Gas Plant Expansion

Located 425 km. northwest of Manning, Alberta, this $4 million project involved setting and installing 50 pieces of modulized equipment and associated piping over four months for the Hamburg Gas Plant expansion. The biggest challenge was installing and assembling a 54-metre-tall incinerator/heater tower, which came in eight pieces. At 8-metres in diameter and 18-metres tall, the 64-tonne radiant section was the largest piece.

Suncor Ore Preparation Plant

This $9.7 million project involved working on the mechanical portion of Suncor's Steepbank Ore Preparation Plant. The seven-month project involved installing breaker drums, pumps, motors, drives, and support equipment for the crushing, screening and initial hydroextraction of oil from tar sands ore.
