MONTREAL, March 1, 2012 /CNW Telbec/ - SNC-Lavalin is pleased to
announce that its joint venture with Aecon Industrial has been
awarded a major contract by Ontario Power Generation (OPG) to carry
out the Definition Phase for the Darlington Retube and Feeder
Replacement (RFR) Project. The overall RFR Project consists of two
phases - a Definition Phase from 2012 to 2016 and an Execution
Phase from 2016 to 2023. The Definition Phase includes the
construction of a full-scale reactor mock-up to simulate key
elements of the refurbishment work, and the development,
procurement and testing of specialized tooling required for the
Project. It further includes the development of a detailed scope,
schedule and budget for the Execution Phase, as well as procurement
of reactor components for the first unit to be refurbished.
The total value of the Definition Phase is estimated at over $600
million. The value of the Execution Phase will be determined once
the Definition Phase is completed. The Execution Phase, which will
occur after the OPG Board and the Joint Venture agree to transition
from the Definition Phase, will involve the refurbishment of all
four reactor cores on a sequential basis using the tools and
methods that were developed and tested during the Project's
Definition Phase. "We are pleased to once again be partnered with
Aecon. We have a great history of working together and
successfully delivering projects," said Patrick Lamarre, Executive
Vice-President, SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. "This award demonstrates
OPG's confidence in this team and our capabilities in the nuclear
industry. The decision by OPG to approach this project in two
phases is consistent with SNC-Lavalin's best practices on project
execution for large scale projects. Having an in-depth
Definition Phase validates and supports the planning of the
Execution Phase." SNC-Lavalin is one of the leading engineering and
construction groups in the world and a major player in the
ownership of infrastructure, and in the provision of operations and
maintenance services. SNC-Lavalin has offices across Canada and in
over 40 other countries around the world, and is currently working
