Investment Perspective: Power Environment

Operating Assets Dept: Headquartered in Montreal, SNC-Lavalin has 22,000 employees worldwide and projects in more than 100 countries. Celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, the company operates four divisions in Alberta: chemicals and petroleum, power, environment and operations and maintenance, according to Calgary Herald. "Most engineering companies only do service work," says senior vice-president Don Chynoweth. "We take financial positions in specific projects and put our capital at risk with the jobs we do. We do that from an investment perspective -- to be part-owners in projects that we are designing and building -- in order to bring continuity to the client." As one of the world's top engineering, procurement and construction companies, SNC-Lavalin has a long and proud history of delivering services in Alberta, in a wide range of industries, including oil and gas, power, environment and infrastructure. With approximately 2,000 employees in Alberta, it is one of a handful of engineering procurement construction firms capable of taking a project from concept through to delivery by managing and operating assets for the life of a project. As reported in the news.
