Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The addition of a boiler at a New Brunswick pulp mill accounts for more than half of $243.1 million in projects that are set to begin construction in Atlantic Canada in the fourth quarter of 2015, according to Industrial Info's project database. Although this amount is an uptick from the third quarter, it is still by far the lowest of the Canadian regions tracked by Industrial Info. More than 90% of the total is attributed to three industries: Pulp, Paper & Wood; Terminals; and Metals & Minerals.

The Atlantic Canada region includes New Brunswick, Newfoundland & Labrador, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.
The Pulp, Paper & Wood Industry is far ahead of all other industries with $154 million in projects expected to begin construction from October through December, almost all of which is attributed to Irving Paper Limited's (Saint John, New Brunswick) $150 million addition of a black liquor recovery boiler in Saint John. The project, which is part of a larger, $500 million expansion, involves adding a 500,000- to 700,000-pound-per-hour boiler. The mill currently has a capacity of 950 tons per day of kraft bleached softwood pulp and 700 tons per day of air-dried market pulp. For details on this expansion project, see Industrial Info's project report.
The Terminals Industry is in a distant second place with a single project: NuStar Energy LP's (NYSE:NS) (San Antonio, Texas) $50 million construction of a crude and refined products terminal in Point Tupper, Nova Scotia. The company plans to build one or two tanks to increase crude storage capacity and install four to six loading arms; initially, mixed-freight rail shipments with 16 to 20 railcars will carry crude to the facility, which currently has a capacity of 7 million barrels per day via 37 tanks. However, the project has faced numerous delays and still is in the market analysis phase. For details on this construction project, see Industrial Info's project report.
The Metals & Minerals Industry is looking at $21 million in project kickoffs in Atlantic Canada in fourth-quarter 2015, by far the largest of which is Rambler Metals & Mining plc's (Baie Verte, Newfoundland and Labrador) $15 million expansion of a copper and gold mine in Baie Verte. The project, which recently began preliminary site work, is designed to ramp up capacity incrementally from 650 to 1,250 tons per day, and extend the mine life by 21 years to 2036. WSP Global Incorporated (Sudbury, Ontario) is serving as a consultant. For details on this expansion project, see Industrial Info's project report.
The remaining seven highest-value projects set to begin construction in Atlantic Canada in the fourth quarter are:
