The reconfigured joint venture between Toronto-based contractor Aecon and Spanish firm Acciona's Canadian unit is gearing up to break ground in the first quarter on the $1-billion replacement for the Pattullo Bridge outside Vancouver after winning a nod from provincial officials.
Aecon replaced SNC-Lavalin last fall as joint venture contractor after the Montreal-based industry giant’s decision to pull out of the market for fixed-price projects and instead focus on engineering services. It remains on the team in that capacity along with Leonhardt, Andrä und Partner Beratende Ingenieure VBI AG, Hatch Corp., and EXP Services Inc. and Acciona Infrastructure Canada Inc.
