POWER GENERATION
AECON POWERS
THE INDUSTRY
For nearly a century, Aecon has worked on numerous power
generation projects, from hydroelectric to nuclear plants to the
latest in solar power. And over the years, Aecon has kept pace
with the increasingly challenging demands of the industry—the
need for more capacity, the need for greater efficiency, and the
need for more stringent environmental controls.
Aecon delivers an unparalleled range
of services for designing, building and
commissioning power generation plants.
One of the largest publicly traded construction and infrastructure development
companies in North America, Aecon Group brings together extensive resources
to handle virtually every aspect of gas-generated power plant construction,
maintenance and operation:
// Heavy civil construction
// Structural and pipe fabrication
// Module and process system fabrication
// Equipment installation and overhaul
// Electrical distribution, controls and instrumentation upgrade
// Building construction
// Infrastructure development
// Project financing
Today, the discovery of huge reserves
of natural gas has focused attention on
an affordable stepping-stone to cleaner
power. Smaller, more flexible, more
efficient and more economical, cleaner
burning natural gas power plants provide
a competitive source of electricity
for base load and peaking power
requirements.
At the forefront of the drive toward
building modern natural gas-fired power
plants, Aecon offers far more than
traditional construction services.
With Aecon, you get a wealth of practical
experience to ensure constructability
from the ground up; a broad range of
services for coordination, efficiency and
accountability; and the fiscal strength for
innovative approaches to financing and
procurement.
From concept to completion, Aecon has
the experience, the resources, and the
expertise to deliver power generation
projects, on time and on budget.
