EDMONTON, May 21 /CNW/ - The Churchill Corporation announces today that Stuart Olson Constructors Inc. has been selected as the lead proponent to construct the Central Utilities Plant ("CUP") Project as part of the current Edmonton International Airport ("EIA") Expansion Program. This project is part of a $1 billion dollar program planned for construction between 2009 and 2012.
Stuart Olson's scope of work for the CUP Project will entail providing construction management services to ensure the adequate installation of mechanical, electrical, storm, sanitary and water services to support the increase capacity associated with the new terminal expansion building and the new control tower.
Pre-construction services are scheduled to begin in Q2 2009 with full turnover of the completed project to the EIA expected in Q3 2011.
"Relationships are important to us, particularly the opportunity to once again work with the Edmonton International Airport Authority. Our Stuart Olson team recently completed the EIA Parkade Expansion and we are pleased to have the opportunity to continue partnering with the EIA on this project," said Jim Houck, President and Chief Executive Officer, The Churchill Corporation. "The Central Utilities Plant is one of the most critical initiatives of the proposed Edmonton International Airport Expansion Program and this project award is an example of our ability to execute on the strategy to grow our social infrastructure backlog."
