Oil Sands Optimization Project

Project Locations:

  • 80 km north of Bonnyville AB

Strike Divisions:

  • Electrical & Instrumentation

Project Overview:

Several optimization plans are in progress at this producing oil sands project to enhance its handling capacity. These upgrades are expected to boost production by more than 30,000 bbl/day by the end of 2027. Our Electrical & Instrumentation team has contributed to this effort through:

  • 22,000 meters of tray installed
  • Over 100,000 meters of Cable Pulled across multiple areas of the site
  • Expansive Heat Trace Installation across all new process lines
  • Lighting and end device installations throughout new areas of the plant
  • Temporary Power infrastructure throughout the entire plant for all contractors
  • New fiber optics and communication cabling

Project Notables:

This project was located within an active Canadian military base and Air Weapons Range, requiring our team to navigate stringent security protocols and operational restrictions. Through proactive planning and collaboration with military personnel, we obtained all necessary clearances and approvals to complete the work safely and efficiently. Our team rose to the challenge, ensuring smooth project execution while respecting the unique demands of this highly specialized environment.
