The Correctional Service Canada (CSC) requires the removal and replacement of two transformers at Beaver Creek Institution (Minimum) prior to December 31, 2026 to comply with federal regulations established under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act and the polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) Regulations.
One existing pad-mounted transformer, installed in 1975, contains polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) at a concentration of 172 ppm, which exceeds the regulatory threshold. A second pole-mounted transformer has reached the end of its service life and, due to its age, may contain PCBs. Both transformers must be removed and replaced prior to the regulatory deadline of December 31, 2026.
The work includes the supply and installation of replacement transformers, disposal of PCB-contaminated equipment and associated oil in accordance with applicable regulations, coordination of electrical outages and commissioning activities, and restoration of affected areas.
