SNC-Lavalin ATP Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of SNC-Lavalin Group Inc., has been awarded a lump sum turnkey contract, valued at approximately CDN$40 million, by the British Columbia Transmission Corporation (BCTC) to design and build four electrical transmission substations in the province of British Columbia.
The project involves the design, procurement and construction of substations at locations in Fort St. John, Whistler, Maple Ridge and Port Kells, ranging in voltage from 69/25 kV to 230/25 kV. BCTC is responsible for planning, maintaining and operating the transmission system in British Columbia as a separate and independent public utility. This is the first substation project that BCTC has outsourced since its formation in 2003.

“The project will follow an ambitious timeline,” said Cindy Andrew, Vice-President of SNC-Lavalin ATP Inc., “Design will begin immediately, and all four substations will be providing reliable electrical service to their respective communities before the end of 2006.”
