Bird Construction Inc. announced that it was awarded a total of five projects with a combined value of approximately $470 million. These projects include two new buildings that support Ontario Power Generation’s (OPG) nuclear program, civil infrastructure work with the Government of B.C., and a recreation centre redevelopment project in B.C. Bird, through an Indigenous-led joint venture, Makhos Bird Joint Venture (MBJV), was awarded contracts for the design and construction of two buildings for OPG that support ongoing nuclear operations and refurbishment activities. These projects, totaling approximately $120 million in aggregate, underscore the strength of Bird and MBJV’s relationship with OPG and Bird’s Indigenous partners to address the province’s growing electrification needs. Bird’s recently acquired subsidiary, Jacob Bros Construction, has been awarded the Highway 1 Bus-On-Shoulder Lanes project by the Government of B.C. This $55 million project will widen nearly four kilometres of Highway 1 between the McKenzie and Colwood interchanges, adding continuous bus-on-shoulder lanes to enhance rapid transit services and reduce congestion. The project also includes a new pedestrian and cyclist bridge, ecological restoration works, and upgraded bus stops. Bird has completed the validation stage on an IPD project to deliver the redevelopment of a major recreational centre in Kelowna, B.C. The completed facility will substantially increase athletic and aquatic space, offer three times as many programs, and include a dedicated childcare space. The redevelopment is part of a larger Building a Stronger Kelowna initiative, and Bird’s portion of the project is expected to approximate $125 million. “Bird continues to win work across our industrial, buildings and infrastructure businesses in key strategic market sectors that remain economically resilient, building on the Company’s strong client relationships and forging new ones,” said Teri McKibbon, president and CEO of Bird. “These awards highlight the scope of Bird’s capabilities, adding to the Company’s combined backlog of nuclear, healthcare, horizontal infrastructure and industrial maintenance work, while expanding Bird’s expertise in collaborative contracts.” |
