Timber Run Hydropower Corporation mandated Equinox Construction Services (ECS) to carry out the design, contracting, sourcing, execution and QA/QC, along with the Project Management tasks, of all hydromechanical equipment required at the Norland Hydropower Plant. After completing the Dewatering, Excavation and Reinforced Concrete phases, ECS was responsible, through a turnkey delivery model, for delivering the equipment that was designed by a 3rd party, under ECS supervision.

Also known as an ECI (Early Contractor Involvement) model, ECS was deeply involved in optimizing the designs, preparing realistic budgets and timelines, updating the relevant stakeholders, and prioritizing the Client’s objectives.

Furthermore, ECS managed the approval process with the Parcs Canada Agency (PCA) as well as the Quality Control of the equipment including 4 intake gates with guides, deck grating, handrails, embedded parts and a 1-inch spaced trashrack.
