MONTREAL, April 12,
2023 /CNW/ - SNC-Lavalin (TSX: SNC), a fully
integrated professional services and project management company
with offices around the world, will be undertaking design and
engineering services work as part of the construction of the new
Vaudreuil-Soulanges Hospital, adding measurable capacity to
Quebec's public healthcare system.
The work will be performed as part of a multidisciplinary team
assembled by Pomerleau, on behalf of the Société québécoise des
infrastructures (Quebec Infrastructure Corporation).
"Engineering a better built environment is at the heart of what
we do for communities all around the world," said Ian L. Edwards, President and Chief Executive
Officer, SNC-Lavalin. "Few pieces of social infrastructure have
greater value to the people they serve than hospitals. Governments,
including across Canada and its
provinces, recognize in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic how
important it is to have high-quality patient care available that is
supported by world-class facilities like the Vaudreuil-Soulanges
Hospital.''
As part of a 6-year contract, SNC-Lavalin's Engineering Services
group across Quebec and its
project partner Pageau Morel inc., will provide design and
engineering services for the mechanical and electrical engineering
of the hospital. Decarbonization and digital delivery capabilities
will be at the heart of service delivery. This includes using
Building Information Modelling (BIM) to create a 3D digital
representation of the building, and supporting efforts to achieve
LEED building environmental certifications via efficient use of
energy, materials, and water.
"Hospitals are an integral part of the social fabric of any
prosperous community," said Ben
Almond, CEO, Engineering Services, Canada, SNC-Lavalin. "People want to know that
they're there and ready to serve us when needed. As the largest new
healthcare construction project by the SQI, this hospital will help
to deliver the most modern healthcare solutions to local residents,
as well as increase patient capacity in the existing system to
ensure more people can be treated. Having delivered much of
Quebec's existing healthcare
infrastructure, we're pleased that the breadth and depth of our
capabilities have once again been recognized."
Located in Vaudreuil-Dorion
outside of Montreal, the project
is scheduled to open in 2026, providing the area with 404 beds, 11
operating rooms, and an emergency room with a capacity for 41
patients. It is currently the largest new hospital project being
designed in Quebec. It's expected
the hospital will employ 4,000 people, including 200 doctors.
