BC Hydro to continue construction on Site C dam

BC Hydro has announced it intends to increase construction activities at the Site C dam.

The organization says it will take a gradual approach, based on provincial health guidelines for industrial camps.

The first increase in work will focus on restarting some of the main civil works on the earthfill dam and roller-compacted concrete dam buttress.

Work at the dam site was scaled back in mid-March, with the overall workforce being reduced by about 50%.

A health screening process has been implemented for all workers accessing the site, including a self-assessment questionnaire and a non-invasive temperature scan.

BC Hydro will continue to work with Northern Health while gradually increasing the number of workers through the spring and summer.

834 people are currently in camp at Site C.
