Ontario Power Generation (OPG), the leading generator and seller of electrical power in Ontario, has embarked on the construction of the north’s largest hydroelectric generating project in 40 years. The $2.6 billion Lower Mattagami Project is slated to increase the supply of clean, renewable power to Ontario by approximately 440 megawatts, providing enough electrical power to serve between 330,000 to 440,000 homes. In addition, the project will bring hundreds of jobs to the area.

Kiewit-Alarie, A Partnership (KAP) was awarded the design and construction contract by OPG and will lead the four-part project. KAP is a partnership between Peter Kiewit & Sons Co. and Leo Alarie and Sons Construction Ltd.. The project includes the addition of generating units at the Little Long, Harmon and Kipling stations and replacing the generating station at Smoky Falls with a three-unit station on the current site.

Throughout the course of the project (which is expected to last through 2015), Dayton Superior will be providing a significant amount of forming hardware along with concrete curing and sealing chemical products.

Dayton Superior worked diligently with the project’s engineering team and draftsmen in Quebec to determine the forming and chemical product solutions for the project. KAP recognized the value of Dayton Superior’s technical expertise and their reliable service in having those product solutions available when they were needed on the job.
“We appreciate the responsiveness we have received from Dayton Superior in working with the project engineers to determine the appropriate product solutions for this extensive project and having those products available to us when they are needed,” said Dominic Jolicoeur, Professional Engineer and Fab Shop Manager.
