In June 2014, Ledcor installed multiple pipelines connecting both of Enbridge’s Edmonton Terminals as well as delivering oil to the Kinder Morgan Terminal nearby.

Ledcor completed construction of 26 kilometers (16 miles) of 30-inch diameter pipeline for Enbridge.

Devon Energy and Ledcor have been working together for more than five years. Ledcor was contracted to manufacture 39 piperack modules for Devon’s Jackfish 3 project at our Pipe Fabrication and Module Assembly yard in Nisku, Alberta.

Japan Canada Oils Sands (JACOS) developed the Hangingstone 20,000 bpd Expansion Project facilities for bitumen production utilizing Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) technology.

Ledcor entered into an Alliance Agreement with the Grand Rapids Pipeline Limited Partnership. The award of this Alliance Agreement to Ledcor required approximately 1,200 employees at its peak, and $150M of new equipment to see the $950M project through to completion.

Ledcor began work on the Suncor Firebag Phase 3 SAGD project in 2007. The scope of work covered three major areas: Area 3000 (Water Treatment), Area 5000 (Steam Generation), and a significant portion of the Utilities and Offsite (U&O).

The project includes the installation of two pumps, construction of a truck unloading facility, tank modifications, associated piping & insulation installations and all required electrical, instrumentation, and controls systems to monitor, control and power this process.

The project mines and processes approximately 110,000,000 tonnes of oil sand per year, yielding an average of 194,000 barrels of bitumen per day at full production.

Ledcor is now carrying out civil construction on an as-requested basis by Suncor at the company’s Millennium oil sands mine north of Fort McMurray.

Ledcor began work on the Suncor Firebag Phase 3 SAGD project in 2007. The scope of work covered three major areas: Area 3000 (Water Treatment), Area 5000 (Steam Generation), and a significant portion of the Utilities and Offsite (U&O).

The large-scale truck maintenance facility includes 16 service bays, a wash bay, 9144 m2 (30,000 f2) of office space, a 350-person change room, a fueling station, and a warehouse.

The PE1 Gas Phase (R3) Expansion Project expanded the existing plant polyethylene capacity with the addition of a 431 KTA capacity, single-train, linear low-density polyethylene unit.

Ledcor’s scope of work included all labour, equipment, handling, installation, and testing related to the erection of the new ethylene furnace, including installation of burners, convection & SCR modules, radiant panel refractory.

Since 1996, Ledcor has been providing field maintenance services to TransCanada Pipelines. What began as a small maintenance contract, providing services in Alberta, has expanded to cover the majority of TransCanada’s operating assets across North America.

L & S Limited Partnership (Ledcor & SICIM – also known as LSLP) was selected to complete the pipeline construction of Spread 3 and Spread 4A of the Trans Mountain Expansion Project.

The Coastal GasLink Project (CGL) involves the construction and operation of an approximately 670 km of 48-in (48 NPS) diameter natural gas pipeline from an area near the community of Groundbirch (40km west of Dawson Creek, BC) to the LNG Canada Development Inc. (LNGC) liquified natural gas export facility near Kitimat, BC.

Located approximately 25 kilometers (16 miles) northwest of Dawson Creek, British Columbia, the Veresen Midstream Sunrise Sweet Gas Plant is the largest gas plant built in Western Canada in the past 30 years.

The Ledcor-Haisla Limited Partnership (LHLP) was awarded the contract for the early civil work to construct the Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) facility in Kitimat, BC.

Kearl, located 70 kms (43.5 miles) north of Fort McMurray and jointly owned by Imperial and ExxonMobil Canada, is one of Canada’s highest-quality oil sands deposits. It has an estimated 4.6 billion barrels of recoverable bitumen resource.

Ledcor’s Pipe Fabrication and Module Assembly plant in Nisku, Alberta, is currently building modules for Grizzly Oil Sands SAGD project located 40 kilometers (25 miles) southwest of Fort McMurray, Alberta.

The Cabin Gas Plant, located 60 km (37 miles) northeast of Fort Nelson, British Columbia in the Horn River Basin area, is considered the largest shale gas field in Canada at a capacity of 800 million cubic feet per day.

Jointly owned by Imperial Oil and ExxonMobil Canada, the Kearl Oil Sands Project is one of Canada’s largest open-pit mining operations, with regulatory approval for up to 345,000 barrels a day of bitumen production.

In 2005, Ledcor constructed approximately 63 kilometers (39 miles) of pipeline, ranging in sizes from 3 inches to 32 inches for Encana.

In 2007 Ledcor was awarded two of the four mainline construction spreads making up the Enbridge Waupisoo Pipeline Project.

In Canada’s north, Ledcor continues with its oil pipeline integrity dig contract with Enbridge. One of the most remarkable series of digs to date took place in the Northwest Territories, between Norman Wells and the Alberta/Northwest Territories boundary.

The Suncor Fort Hills Project reported zero Health, Safety & Environmental recordable incidents during 2012, resulting in a Total Recordable Incident Frequency of 0 for the year.

The plant has the capacity to process approximately 250 million ft3 per day of raw gas, which represents the amount of natural gas needed to supply over 900,000 homes over the course of one year.

The work included the installation of 15,000 ft of underground fire water piping along with interconnecting cooling water, potable water, and oily water sewer totaling over 34,000 ft.

Ledcor has been contracted to install approximately 40,000 m (131,000 ft) of pipe, including pipe corridors, and structural and piling work for the project.

The Athabasca Oilsands Project, Upstream Expansion (AOSP) is part of the Albian Sands Energy Inc. expansion of an open pit extraction and bitumen processing facility north of Fort McMurray, Alberta. Ledcor has worked on this site continuously since 2006 and enjoys a long-standing relationship with Shell Canada.  

Ledcor’s work continues on with Chevron’s new blast-resistant Refinery Optimization Center (The ROC) in El Segundo, California. Started in the summer of 2011, this 3,700 m2 (40,000 ft2) building is a major expansion within the Chevron refinery which is located next to the main administration building.

The ongoing project calls for the excavation and stockpiling of 8.5 million m3 (300 million ft3) of muskeg and topsoil, to be used in future mine reclamation projects.

The Cabin Gas Plant, located 60 km (37 miles) northeast of Fort Nelson, British Columbia in the Horn River Basin area, is considered the largest shale gas field in Canada at a capacity of 800 million cubic feet per day.

Ledcor was awarded a five-year contract to provide reclamation and mine support services to Syncrude Canada at the Aurora Mine Site, located 75 kilometers (47 miles) north of Fort McMurray, Alberta.

Kearl, located 70 kms (43.5 miles) north of Fort McMurray and jointly owned by Imperial and ExxonMobil Canada, is one of Canada’s highest-quality oil sands deposits. It has an estimated 4.6 billion barrels of recoverable bitumen resource.
