Port Mann Tower Replacement

In early July 2011, a BC Hydro 230kV transmission tower adjacent to the Fraser River collapsed as a result of high water levels. Allteck was deployed on an emergency basis to ensure the tower was brought to a safe condition, and BC Hydro has now contracted Allteck to reconstruct a portion of the circuit including the construction of a massive steel lattice tower that will allow the transmission circuit to span a much wider section of the river corridor. This is a particularly safety-sensitive project as the circuit crosses a major highway, a section of the river that is navigated by a large volume of marine traffic and a substantial rail yard.
