MONTREAL, Nov. 23,
2022 /CNW/ - SNC-Lavalin (TSX: SNC), a fully
integrated professional services and project management company
with offices around the world, was awarded a US$62 million contract by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) to provide Initial Outfitting & Transition
(IO&T) Services for the replacement of the General Leonard Wood
Army Community Hospital (GLWACH) in the state of Missouri. The Company will provide full
services to transition approximately 1,156 staff located in the
legacy facility and outlying medical spaces into the newly
constructed state-of-the-art GLWCH facility.
"SNC-Lavalin is a leader in the design, building, operation and
maintenance of public health projects, both locally and globally,
and has a long history of working on projects that have
long-lasting positive impacts on the communities it serves," said
Ian L. Edwards, President and Chief
Executive Officer, SNC-Lavalin. "These types of projects showcase
the value we bring to our clients, and we are honored to continue
to help support the DoD's investment, upgrading and replacing its
healthcare facilities."
The GLWACH replacement is the largest project awarded under the
IO&T Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) MATOC III.
The project replaces a 40-year-old facility with a new modern
medical campus programmed to support 5,700 active-duty military
personnel, 20,400 trainees and their families. Work
includes full project management services, with medical and
non-medical equipment planning, furniture and equipment purchasing,
transition planning and relocation, installation, testing,
training, warehousing and final turnover and close-out.
"We have established ourselves as a trusted partner for the DoD
around the globe, including work in the U.S., Germany and Korea with MATOC I & II," said
George Nash, CEO of Atkins North America. "We are proud to be part
of this critical mission to ensure that healthcare is available to
our military, naval and air service members and their dependents
and survivors."
The new US$302 million GLWACH
facility is located at Fort Leonard Wood,
MO. The new facility includes a 235,400 square-foot
hospital, a 193,300 square foot clinic, central utility plant,
emergency back-up generators, five-bay ambulance garage, helipad
and support facilities.
The company has provided previous U.S. Military hospital
IO&T services expertise at the Weed Army Community Hospital and
