Interior to Lower Mainland (ILM) 500 kV Line

---

The Interior to Lower Mainland (ILM) Transmission Line Project is a hallmark of innovation and engineering prowess in the energy sector, characterized by the construction of a 255 km, single circuit 500 kV lattice steel tower transmission line that stretches from the Nicola Substation near Merritt to the Meridian Substation in Coquitlam, BC. Our role as the Line Manager for the EPC (design-build) contractor was pivotal in navigating this complex project through the intricacies of design, material procurement, and construction, ensuring the highest standards of quality and efficiency were upheld.

The project distinguished itself through a series of strategic and innovative practices. Our team's involvement in QA/QC checks, constructability and design reviews, and particularly in value engineering exercises, was critical. These efforts not only optimized the project's design but also streamlined the construction process, showcasing our commitment to efficiency and sustainability in infrastructure development.

Moreover, our engagement extended beyond the typical construction activities. We played a key role in landowner negotiations and access planning, which facilitated smooth project progression and minimized environmental and community impact. Our meticulous approach to foundation installation, line construction, and inspection further exemplified our dedication to delivering projects that stand the test of time in both reliability and functionality.

Through collaborative efforts and a forward-thinking approach, the project achieved remarkable efficiencies and set new benchmarks for the energy sector. The ILM Transmission Line Project stands as a testament to our expertise in managing and executing complex infrastructure projects, highlighting our dedication to innovation, sustainability, and community engagement in the advancement of regional energy infrastructure.
