Black & McDonald strictly follows a nuclear safety culture, including individual and management commitment to safety and management systems that promote accountability, a questioning attitude, communication, conservative decision making, continuous improvement, safe work processes, problem identification and resolution, and an environment for raising concerns. With outstanding safety records, our highly trained and experienced nuclear employees enable nuclear excellence. As a single-source, multi-trade service provider, we bring capability, responsibility, and accountability to our complete engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) solutions.

We currently partner with Ontario Power Generation (OPG) to engineer, procure and construct multi-trade construction projects. We provide maintenance and facility management services for the Darlington Refurbishment, and manage station operations at Pickering Nuclear, ­­­­­­Darlington Nuclear, Bruce Power, and the Western Waste Management Facility.

In all these projects, our overriding priority is to ensure we deliver projects without putting the plant, personnel, and public at risk. To accomplish that goal, we capitalize on more than 100 years of construction experience to finish projects on-time, under budget, and with a focus on safety and quality at every stage of the engagement.

Outage Services and Refurbishment Experience

Black & McDonald has demonstrated excellence in our ability to staff, plan, and execute turnovers, outages, and refurbishment scopes of work at nearly every nuclear power plant across Canada.

Engineering & Design Services

Black & McDonald has teaming agreements in place and the ability to provide full Engineering Services in partnership with this team. Our Engineering team utilizes the latest industry practices and building information modelling software to create virtual 3D models for our diverse clientele before committing to a solution. This helps reduce costs and time before construction even starts and ensures that our clients’ needs are satisfied.

This, combined with our experienced Engineer-Procure-Construct staff and “best in class” materials management and inventory control, saves our customers time, money and offers.
