WATER AND WASTEWATER FEATURE: The Greater Vancouver Sewer and Drainage District board has approved $85 million for PCLConstruction to address deficiencies, plus advance construction for structures to complete the North Shore Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The $85 million provided to PCL is “keeping construction moving forward by continuing early works activities at the treatment plant, under their existing early works authorizations,” Metro Vancouver said in an issued statement as a new construction costing and schedule is being devised by PCL to go before the GVS&DD board in mid-2023.
The $85 million funding approval was given at the GVS&DD’s March-end board meeting and is addition to $40 million earlier allocated to PCL a year ago when it took over the project from fired general contractor Acciona Wastewater Solutions LP. Metro Vancouver is alleging “a detailed review of Acciona’s design and construction by the GVS&DD, PCL and AECOM in 2022 and early 2023 identified that the design and construction were not as advanced as the respective 80 per cent and 37 per cent figures reported by Acciona at the time of termination.
Acciona originally gained a P3 contract for the design-build and construction of the plant in 2017, but later asked for an extension, which took the project into the end of 2023 and also a budget increase that would have the plant costing $1 billion.
