Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--SNC-Lavalin Constructors Incorporated (TSX:SNC) (Montreal, Quebec), the largest engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) company in Canada and one of the top five global design firms, is involved in $95.6 billion worth of active projects, according to Industrial Info's project database. They include more than $11 billion worth that are expected to begin construction and $12.9 billion worth that are expected to finish construction in 2018.
More than 80% of the projects are to be found in the Power Generation Industry, with hydropower projects accounting for the bulk. Among the projects likely to wrap up in the first half of the year is B.C. Hydro & Power Authority's (Burnaby, British Columbia) $1.15 billion John Hart Power Station replacement in Campbell River, British Columbia. The project involves constructing an underground powerhouse and replacing six older generators with three newer models from GE Alstom, a subsidiary of General Electric (NYSE:GE).
Far less certain is the completion date for Nalcor Energy's (St. John's) Muskrat Falls Hydro Station in Churchill Falls, Newfoundland and Labrador, which has seen its costs skyrocket and completion date repeatedly pushed back. Canada's Atlantic provinces, particularly Nova Scotia, are searching for ways to end their dependence on coal-fired generation, and the Muskrat Falls project is viewed as a prime opportunity to do so. The 824-megawatt (MW) project had been projected to begin generation by the end of this year, but recent reports from Nalcor and Newfoundland and Labrador's provincial government acknowledge that, in all likelihood, it will not happen before the end of 2020. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on the John Hart and Muskrat Falls facilities.
Natural gas-fired power plants also are on SNC-Lavalin's to-do list, including Public Service Enterprise Group's (NYSE:PEG) (PSEG) (Newark, New Jersey) $850 million Keys Energy Center in Brandywine, Maryland, and FGE Power LLC's (The Woodlands, Texas) $800 million Texas 1 Power Station in Westbrook, Texas. The facilities are expected to generate 755 and 746 MW, respectively, from combined-cycle technology that each will employ a pair of combustion turbines and a steam turbine. For more information, see Industrial Info's reports on the Keys Energy Center and Texas 1 station.
But the Power Generation Industry isn't the only place SNC-Lavalin is doing business: Nearly $2.3 billion worth of projects in the North American Metals & Minerals Industry involving the EPC provider are set to kick off or wrap up this year. Among them are Vale S.A.'s (NYSE:VALE) (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) $1 billion replacement and expansion project at the Copper Cliff Nickel Mine in Sudbury, Ontario, a four-year project that will boost production to 3,000 tons per day, and a $1 billion addition of an atmospheric emission reduction plant for the 500,000-tonne-per-year nickel smelter at the same complex, which will reduce sulfur dioxide emissions to 20,000 tonnes per year. For more information, see Industrial Info's reports on the expansion and emission-reduction projects.
SNC-Lavalin is performing design-engineering services on another major mining project in the U.S. Northwest: eCobalt Solutions Incorporated's (Vancouver, British Columbia) $77 million cobalt, copper and gold mine and its $70 million hydrometallurgical plant in Cobalt, Idaho. The mine is expected to produce 13 million pounds per year of cobalt and 10.7 million pounds per year of copper concentrate.
Earlier this month, eCobalt shipped a sample of cobalt from the property to Quebec for pilot-level metallurgical testing, according to Global Mining Review, to help determine its value and necessary equipment. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on the mine and hydrometallurgical plant.
