| SNC-Lavalin to build line between Alberta and Montana SNC-Lavalin's Transmission and Distribution Division has been awarded a contract by Montana Alberta Tie Ltd. (MATL) to design and build an electrical transmission line from Lethbridge, Alberta to Great Falls, Montana. The project involves the design, procurement and construction of a 347 kilometre long 300 megawatt (230 kilovolt) bi-directional transmission line to interconnect the power transmission grids of the province of Alberta and the state of Montana. The line will be the first cross-border merchant transmission line between Canada and the United States. The project is progressing through the regulatory stage and applications have been filed with provincial, state and federal regulators in Canada and the US. Construction is slated to begin in late 2006, pending regulatory approval, and will continue through the winter. Commercial operation is targeted for mid-2007. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
