Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Industrial Info is tracking $14.9 billion in planned 2018 project starts in Ontario, Canada. While some of these projects could be cancelled or pushed out to future dates, other projects will appear throughout the year. Thanks to a few $1 billion-plus rail projects, the Industrial Manufacturing Industry leads in terms of project value, with more than $5.8 billion in projects. This is followed by Metals & Minerals, with $3.8 billion in planned projects, and the Power Industry, with $2 billion.

Among the largest projects planned to kick off in the province this year is Metrolinx's (Toronto, Ontario) planned grassroot light rail line near Mississauga. The project will include 12 miles of new line and 22 stations. AECOM (NYSE:ACM) (Los Angeles, California) is performing engineering on the project, which has an estimated total investment value (TIV) of $1.6 billion and is expected to take about four years to complete. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
In the Toronto area, Metrolinx plans to extend its Barrie line. The project will include construction of 20 miles of double track rail line and four new stations. The project has an estimated TIV of $1.4 billion and is expected to take about seven years to complete. Hatch Mott MacDonald Limited (Toronto) is performing engineering on the project. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
A restart and expansion of a nickel mine leads planned Metals & Minerals projects in Ontario. Vale Canada Limited (Toronto), a wholly owned subsidiary of Brazilian mining company Vale (NYSE:VALE) (Rio de Janeiro), is planning an expansion of its Copper Cliff underground nickel mining operation near Sudbury. The existing South Mine Shaft of the facility will be restarted and expanded into a 3,000-ton-per-day mine operation. The project is expected to take about four years. Stantec Incorporated (NYSE:STN) (Edmonton, Alberta) is performing engineering on the project, which has an estimated TIV of $1 billion. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
While mining projects feature prominently in the province's planned spending, they are not the only type of projects boosting the Metals & Minerals into second position. ArcelorMittal (NYSE:MT) (Luxembourg, Luxembourg) is planning a series of maintenance projects at its steel works in Hamilton. These include Coke plants 2 and 3 (106 and 35 ovens, respectively), which will experience a series of maintenance shutdowns throughout 2018 to ensure adequate performance. In addition, the steel blast furnace, basic oxygen furnace and electric arc furnace will also undergo maintenance during the year every month and a half to two months. Matrix North American Construction Limited (Hamilton) is acting as contractor on the projects, which have a combined total investment value of $300 million. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on the coke plants and furnaces. Also undergoing maintenance will be the hot strip mill and finishing facilities.
Ontario is seeing a wave of renewable energy projects that add to the province's planned spending in 2018. Among these is Invenergy LLC's (Chicago, Illinois) planned windfarm in Dutton. The 56.75-megawatt (MW) Strong Breeze Windfarm will use 31 wind turbine-generators and will include a 230-kilovolt transmission line and tie in. The $120 million project is planned to kick off in the third quarter and be completed in summer 2019. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Near Stone Mills Township, BluEarth Renewables Incorporated (Guelph, Ontario) plans to construct a 54-MW grassroot solar farm. The project is planned to kick off in the second quarter and be completed in early 2019. The $108 million project includes electrical line circuits and a substation transformer to connect to Hydro One Networks Incorporated (Toronto) existing transmission system. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
