Carillion Canada subsidiary selected as the preferred bidder for
a power transmission contract worth approximately GBP120
million
Carillion Canada subsidiary, Rokstad, has been selected by
Manitoba Hydro as the preferred provider for the next phase of its
Bipole lll high-voltage transmission line project, which has an
estimated revenue value of GBP120 million.
The project involves clearing rights of way, the installation of
access roads, foundations and anchors, the assembly of towers and
the stringing of cables for three packages of the Bipole lll
project, which includes 1,384 km of transmission lines and two
converter stations, starting at Keewatinohk in Northern Manitoba
and ending at Sandy Bay Ojiway First Nation in Southern Manitoba.
When the whole Bipole lll project is completed, it will deliver
renewable energy to Southern Manitoba and to the United States.
We expect to agree final terms and achieve contract signature
shortly to enable work to begin before the end of the year, with
completion scheduled for 2018.
Carillion Group Chief Executive, Richard Howson, said: "We are
delighted to have been selected for this important project, which
further demonstrates the quality and strength of Rokstad's offering
and the success of our strategy of expanding our infrastructure
services activities in Canada into the power transmission and
distribution market, with the acquisition of Rokstad in 2014."
