This $392 million engineer-procure-construct contract consists of six separate run-of the-river hydroelectric projects. Each project is comprised of an intake structure, a penstock, a powerhouse and a tailrace channel.
Canada's largest design-build hydro power plant and the first design-build hydroplant by an independent power producer in British Columbia, this C$209 million award-winning project was completed 22 months early, speeding the flow of electric power to consumers in Canada and the United States from water stored by the Hugh Keenleyside Dam.
This $40 million design-build project included upgrades to 7 km. of the Sea-to-Sky Highway (Highway 99) from two to four lanes. Work was performed under existing highway traffic conditions, with minimal traffic closures and rerouting.
This finance-design-build-operate project is one of the first public-private partnerships to reach financial close within the North American transportation market. Work involves upgrades to over 130 km. of the highway between Vancouver and Whistler, British Columbia, for safety and mobility improvements.
To improve safety and traffic flow, Peter Kiewit Sons Co. rebuilt a portion of the Trans-Canada Highway through the Kicking Horse Canyon. Crews trimmed the total closure days from five to zero, completing this unique project on schedule.
Two large bridge structures and more than 6 km. of roadway were built connecting Calgary Trail and Ellerslie Road. Thorough planning by project personnel minimized the impact to the traveling public and allowed for completion of the project in June 2001.
