What is the project?

The Pickering Nuclear Generating Station refurbishment program involves designing and building a new deep-water intake in Lake Ontario to improve the plant's cooling system. This will involve:

- A 1.5 km-long tunnel, built by a pressurized TBM (10.15 m diameter slurry TBM);

- Two vertical shafts (onshore and offshore);

- An offshore modular intake structure, resting on the lake bed.

The project is distinguished by its proximity to an active nuclear site, requiring rigorous standards of safety, planning and coordination.
