Gillam Construction Group Awarded Contract for Darlington Project Administrative Building Construction

en.Wedoany.com Reported - On November 9, the Government of Ontario, Canada awarded two construction contracts to Gillam Construction Group and Mansteel Rebar for the Darlington New Nuclear Project, covering the construction of the project administrative building and the fabrication, supply, and installation of rebar for five main buildings. Gillam received a contract worth nearly USD 35 million, while Mansteel is responsible for rebar work on five buildings. The two contracts will boost local construction and steel supply businesses.

Gillam Construction Group is responsible for constructing the administrative building for the Darlington New Nuclear Project, located in Clarington, Ontario. The building will support administrative management and on-site coordination during the project construction phase, and the contract is expected to create approximately 100 jobs. The work is part of the project's supporting public administration facilities, providing space for construction organization, personnel management, and on-site offices.

The contract awarded to Mansteel Rebar covers the fabrication, supply, and installation of rebar for five main buildings. Headquartered in Pembroke, Ontario, the company will procure rebar materials from domestic Canadian steel mills and organize fabrication and on-site installation. The work is expected to support approximately 100 existing jobs, with an additional 20 positions during the construction period.

Both contracts are part of the supporting construction for the Darlington New Nuclear Project, managed by Ontario Power Generation. The overall project plan includes four small modular reactors, along with supporting reactor buildings, administrative facilities, warehousing, and utility facilities. In addition to the building and rebar work awarded this time, the project also involves the procurement and construction of structural steel, pump houses, water supply, and other construction facilities.

Previously, the Government of Ontario awarded 14 project contracts to companies in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, covering transformers, pumps, specialty steel, and temporary construction facilities. The two newly added contracts further expand the participation of Eastern Ontario companies in the project's building construction and material supply. The Government of Ontario stated that more than 100 Canadian companies have signed related supply and service agreements with Ontario Power Generation.
