The Brilliant Expansion Project

Skanska website
For the first time, Skanska builds a water power plant in Canada. The expansion of the Brilliant Dam is a project that involves extreme environmental and socio-economic care.

Skanska was awarded the project due to an innovative suggestion of design change. Originally, the intention was to construct the Brilliant Dam Expansion as an open channel, but Skanska proposed a tunnel instead, with the advantages of minimizing the environmental disturbance and better management of the construction risks. Furthermore, the tunnel reduces the visual impact and the volumes of excavated rock.
