Major Contract Awards for Bird Construction
Bird Construction Inc. is thrilled to announce the award of several projects and agreements totaling around $1.2 billion. This substantial investment marks a critical milestone for Bird as it embarks on numerous significant industrial capital initiatives and renews multiple master service agreements (MSA) with both new and enduring clients.
Strengthening Industrial Maintenance Services
The Industrial Maintenance team at Bird, in collaboration with the Indigenous Limited Partnership between Stuart Olson and Infinity Métis Corporation, has successfully secured a new five-year recurring revenue MSA. This agreement is essential for offering complex mechanical services to a major, long-standing Oil and Gas client. The award underscores the strategic advantages gained from Bird’s acquisition of NorCan Electric in 2024, which enhanced their electrical and instrumentation capabilities and diversified mechanical service offerings.
Enhanced Client Relationships
The five-year MSA not only highlights Bird’s capabilities but also showcases the company’s commitment to safety, quality service, and collaboration. This partnership has evolved into a long-term relationship that spans over 70 years, focused on generating sustainable value.
Additional Agreements
Bird’s Industrial Maintenance division also celebrated numerous MSA extensions and new contracts, further cementing its position in the industry. This includes a two-year extension to an existing electrical services agreement, a three-year renewal with an expanded scope for a loyal customer, and a new three-year mechanical services MSA that marks the company’s entry into the mid-stream sector.
Exciting Developments in Significant Projects
Through the 2Nations Bird partnership, Bird has been entrusted with additional responsibilities at BHP’s Jansen potash project. This project stands as one of Canada’s key resource initiatives. The current scope entails fabrication, delivery, construction, and commissioning of five non-process infrastructure buildings, which builds on previous work related to concrete foundations and tailings management.
Path2Zero Contract with Dow
Bird continues to make strides with a contract tied to Dow’s Path2Zero Program in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta. This new project focuses on critical tasks within the ethane cracking unit and encompasses diverse work areas including mechanical, structural, piping, and insulation operations, followed by pre-commissioning activities.
Leadership Insights on Growth
Teri McKibbon, President & CEO of Bird, remarked on these significant awards, stating that they exemplify the strength of Bird's industrial work program. Establishing an early footprint on large capital investment projects prepares the company for expanding scopes as they progress. McKibbon emphasizes that the new MSA achieved in partnership with Infinity Métis Corporation showcases Bird’s tuck-in acquisition strategy, which adds highly aligned businesses and ensures growth.
