This joint venture EPC project consisted of the complete installation of two new plants at Suncor's Fort McMurray oilsands operation and an extension of an existing Williams Energy Plant at Redwater. The scope of work included all engineering, procurement and construction of the two Fort McMurray facilities, the foundation and underground piping installation at Redwater, and the supply of shop fabricated piping for both locations. The majority fo work was performed on a direct-hire basis, and included foundations, structural steel, equipment, piping, electrical, instrumentation, pipe fabrication and module assembly. The project offered a number of challenges, not the least of which was building three separate facilities in two different locations. Adding to the challenge was a change in ownership partway through the project when Williams Energy bought TransCanada Midstream. The schedule was tight, with significant overlap of engineering and construction activities. It was completed in 15 months.
