will be carried out while the complex continues its regular
operations with scheduled plant shut-downs. "Vale is a repeat and
long-standing client and we're delighted they chose to retain us

program," said Feroz Ashraf, Executive Vice-President, SNC-Lavalin
Group Inc. "We'll be using the most appropriate and available
commercial technology in our designs, and taking necessary
considerations to reduce emissions over the life cycle of the
project." Construction is set to begin in April 2012 and the
project should be completed near the end of 2015. 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
