The agreements, signed with a group of 11 industry partners, will “…enable CNL to more confidently plan and deliver its program of work, but also achieve broader organizational objectives including company-wide sustainability targets, improved engagement with Indigenous Peoples, and economic development through the use of local suppliers in the delivery of its projects.”
In September, CNL released its Vision 2030 strategy, which lays out its plan for cementing its central role in the advancement of nuclear technologies in Canada. This includes the work being done at the Chalk River Laboratories site in Ontario, a $1.2-billion investment from Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) to revitalize the campus into a world-class nuclear science and technology facility.
“CNL not only has a series of major projects poised to begin, but many of them are also concurrent, which means that we have to carefully plan and resource these projects if we want them to proceed efficiently,” commented Brian Savage, CNL’s Vice-President of Capital Projects, and one of many senior CNL executives who will be involved in managing relations with the new partners. “These strategic delivery partnership agreements give us long-term clarity on these projects, and cultivate stronger relationships with our supply chain, so we can ensure that they are being effectively managed.”
The agreement with CNL was signed as part of a ceremony held at the CNL Chalk River Laboratories on November 1st. Olivier Joyal, Executive Vice President, Execution and Strategy, Earth and Environment signed the agreement on behalf of the company, with Brian Daniels, Vice-President, Remediation, Jason Wits, Senior Vice President, Remediation and Dr. Anthony Ciccone, Vice-President, Global Nuclear Services also representing WSP.
