Project Outline:

Scope of work included compiling a comprehensive construction cost estimate for two greenfield high head hydroelectric power generation sites: Jimie Creek (66 MW) and Upper Toba (58 MW), located north of Vancouver on the B.C. Mainland.

The detailed estimate consisted of approximately 800 line items per site and was completed from the perspective of an EPC Contractor delivering a turn-key project. A cost estimate was also assembled using an EPCM delivery model for comparison of the relative cost of the two contracting methodology approaches.
