Additionally, Bird Construction will be active in the Aspen Power Station project in Saskatchewan, where its 2NationsBird joint venture has been awarded the foundation and underground utilities work. This 370-megawatt power station is crucial for strengthening renewable power generation in the region, ensuring a reliable energy supply for the future.

Other significant wins include:

  • A multi-year master service agreement within the petrochemical sector

These projects are expected to bring several economic benefits to multiple provinces across the country, including job creation during construction and long-term operational roles once the projects are completed.

Teri McKibbon, President and CEO of Bird Construction, expressed pride in the company’s ability to secure these contracts, stating, “We continue to grow our diverse portfolio with projects spanning multiple sectors, with healthy contributions from multi-year recurring revenue awards. Our proven track record in successfully delivering early works on major industrial projects strategically positions us to pursue full project life cycle opportunities.”

The awarded contracts showcase Bird Construction’s capacity to lead complex and environmentally significant projects, further solidifying its position as a key player in Canada’s construction industry.
