Projet hydroélectrique Alta Gas, Forrest Kerr

Civil Work

Our team was awarded the mandate to perform civil work for a 195-MW hydroelectric project in northern British Columbia, 1,000 km northwest of Vancouver.


For the project, carried out the following work:

  • Performing overall production and batching the concrete on site (approximately 35,000 m3).
  • Casting in place and finishing all concrete structures.
  • Handling the logistics, scheduling and integrating all steel generators.
  • Installing the penstocks, draft tubes and spiral casings.

The hydroelectric project is a crucial source of energy for British Columbia as it strives to achieve energy self-sufficiency. On a national and global scale, this project is helping Canada meet its commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
