The engineering firm Burns & McDonnell needed offices and workforce housing as part of a multi-year project with SaskPower. The construction project was created to build the new Great Plains Power Station in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.
Once the power station comes online in 2023, it will generate enough electricity to power a city the size of Saskatoon. The station will be powered by a combination of natural gas generation, as well as through the integration of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar.
This project is one of many by customers like Burns & McDonnell and others that benefit our communities and the environment, and BOXX Modular is excited to support their efforts with affordable and high-quality modular buildings!
Quick Facts
Client: Burns & McDonnell Industry: Energy Location: Moose Jaw, SK Building Use: Multi-use Size of Project: 30,000 sq. ft. Completion time: 2-10 days per building
BOXX Modular’s component of this project started in Q2 2021 and is expected to last at least 2.5 years. During construction, the project will employ an average of 230 workers a year, with over 500 workers on-site at its peak. We provided over 50 units, ranging from single-wide trailers and lavatories to complexes up to 11 units wide, about 30,000 sq ft of total space. The buildings will be used for offices, lunchrooms, first aid rooms, and more. Smaller buildings were completed in 2-3 days, and larger complexes took 7-10 days.
BOXX Modular and our parent company Black Diamond Group understand that our partnerships in the communities we work in are integral to a project’s success. This project was awarded to BOXX Modular through Whitecap Black Diamond, our majority Indigenous-owned partnership between Whitecap Dakota First Nation and Black Diamond Group.
