FortisBC Energy Inc. selected Bechtel Canada Co. as the contractor for its Tilbury LNG Facility Expansion project in Delta, British Columbia.
FortisBC selected Bechtel after a competitive procurement process. The project’s construction is expected to employ 150 skilled workers over two years and provide about $4 million per year in taxes to various levels of government over time.
The expansion, intended to meet increased market demand for LNG, is estimated to cost about $400 million. It will add about 1.1 million gigajoules of LNG storage and 34,000 gigajoules of liquefaction capacity per day. Project construction is scheduled to begin in September and is estimated to be completed in 2016.
FortisBC currently operates the only two LNG facilities on Canada’s west coast—the Mt. Hayes facility near Ladysmith since 2011 and the Tilbury Island LNG facility in Delta since 1971.
