The assignment

JV Driver led the English River Constructors joint venture in delivering Cameco’s uranium slurry loadout facility at McArthur River. The facility included Pachuca tanks and a concrete containment wall approximately 100 feet high. The assignment brought civil, mechanical, structural, electrical and instrumentation work together in a northern construction environment.

Scope of work

  • Slurry loadout facility construction
  • Process tanks and concrete containment
  • Civil, structural and mechanical installation
  • Electrical and instrumentation services

Delivery experience

The profile records completion in eleven months through winter conditions and a peak workforce of 247 people. It reports no lost-time accidents for that assignment. The experience demonstrates the importance of labour planning and coordinated disciplines in a remote setting.
