A new office in Tiverton will house up to 25 employees to help support the Bruce Power life extension project.
Burns and McDonnell and Modus Strategic Solutions will play a key project controls role by implementing improvements across Bruce Power.
Bruce County Warden Mitch Twolan says he is pleased to see the company locate in Tiverton.
“The expertise and knowledge they will bring to our area helps us to continue to move forward with establishing a nuclear industry regional hub, able to support and sustain Bruce Power in our communities, as it begins its Life-Extension Program journey,” he adds.
The company provides project management tools, processes, and trained personnel to safely deliver quality projects on time, and on budget.
They help plan the work, identify and mitigate risks, monitor performance, and resolve issues.
“It is important for Bruce Power to implement an industry-leading Project Controls system that utilizes fully integrated and enterprise-wide project management tools, processes and trained personnel to safely deliver projects on schedule, on budget and with quality,” said Ray Hruby, Bruce Power’s Vice President, Project Controls. “The team is working on many necessary projects, including the Major Component Replacements, which are vital to the continued safe and reliable operation of the Bruce Power nuclear units.”
Ryan Smith, Director of Canadian Operations for Modus said the company is grateful for the opportunity to become part of the community, and his employees are looking forward to working on the site.
“Our team will help Bruce Power’s project organizations effectively plan their work, identify and mitigate risks, monitor performance, support resolution of issues and predict project outcomes during execution of all of Bruce Power’s upcoming capital projects and programs,” Smith said.
This program is vitally important for the Province of Ontario and Bruce Power, said Rick Halil, Vice President, Burns & McDonnell-Canada and General Manager of the firm’s Energy Division.
“Burns & McDonnell has extensive experience in program management of critical infrastructure projects and we are pleased to combine our expertise with Modus to meet Bruce Power’s objectives,” Halil said.
