• Site earthworks

• Off-site pipe fabrication

• Off-site assembly of 65 piperack modules

• Structural steel erection 

• Concrete

• Heavy lifts

Project Highlights

Based on Ledcor’s excellent performance on Phase 1, EnCana awarded Phase 2 to Ledcor and expanded Ledcor’s scope of work to also include:

• Initial site grading and development
• Piling
• Site-wide power distribution
• Heavy lift cranage
• Building erection
  

Construction of the Encana Cabin Gas Plant 2 commenced August 2011 and was put on hold in December 2012 due to the market conditions for natural gas.
