PCL Constructors Inc. (PCL) has joined an international engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) consortium to provide detailed design and pre-construction engineering for a $400 million patterned solar glass manufacturing facility in Selkirk, Manitoba.

PCL primarily serves the civil infrastructure, heavy industrial, and buildings markets. Supported by a strategic presence in more than 30 major centres, including a significant presence in Manitoba, PCL has over 100 years of client-focused delivery and annual construction volumes of more than $8 billion.

The company behind the patterned solar glass manufacturing facility is Canadian Premium Sand Inc. Its facility will use high-purity, low-iron silica sand sourced from its wholly owned Wanipigow, Manitoba, quarry leases and renewable Manitoba hydroelectricity.

“After conducting an extensive request-for-proposal and bid evaluation process, we are pleased to align ourselves with this highly experienced and multi-disciplined EPC consortium,” stated company president and CEO, Glenn Leroux. “As we progress the development of our solar glass manufacturing project to shovel-ready status, this group of professionals will deliver a comprehensive design to achieve our goal of manufacturing the highest-quality and lowest-carbon solar glass available. Additionally, with the design process focused on value engineering to drive operational and capital cost efficiencies, CPS will be positioned to maximize our already strong project economics.”
