Canadian engineering to construction company SNC-Lavalin and its joint venture (JV) partner automated manufacturing equipment maker Eclipse Automation Inc. have won $33 million production tooling deal.
The tools, which will support electricity company Bruce Power’s fuel channel and feeder replacement project, will be used to install and inspect tubes and fuel channels used in Canada deuterium uranium reactors.
Bruce Power will create 22,000 jobs annually across the province, while also delivering 30 percent of Ontario’s electricity at 30 percent less than the average cost to generate residential power.
Manufacturing of the power will take place in Mississauga, Ontario at SNC-Lavalin’s Sheridan Park campus as well as at Eclipse’s Cambridge manufacturing facility and delivery will be completed by September 2019.
