LNG Canada is a co-venture between Shell Canada, Petronas, Diamond LNG Canada Ltd. (Mitsubishi), Kogas Canada LNG Ltd. (Korea Gas) and Brion Kitimat LNG Partnership (PetroChina) to develop a liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility on the north coast of British Columbia. The project includes the design, construction and operation of a natural gas gathering system in northeast BC, a pipeline to Kitimat, and at Kitimat a liquefaction terminal and marine off-loading facilities.

The scope of work for this contract is the design, development and implementation of the LNG Canada Workforce Accommodation Centre named Cedar Valley Lodge, which will be constructed west of the plant site to house 4,500 workers during the construction of the LNG terminal. The lodge has a 10-year life and is to be designed and constructed to ensure quality accommodation for the construction workers and support a “Camp of Choice” philosophy.

Bird-Civeo Joint Venture (B-C JV) won the LNG Canada design-build contract for Cedar Valley Lodge. Bird Construction is responsible for the overall management of the project and on-site construction. Civeo is responsible for the design, construction and transportation of the modular units to site. BR2 Architects was retained by B-C JV as the architect of record for the core buildings. Brybil (a division of Associated Engineering) was retained by B-C JV as the engineer of record for site works including site grading, modular foundations, core building design (foundations, building mechanical and building electrical), utilities, site electrical, roadways, parking lots and landscaping.

Detailed design of Cedar Valley Lodge began in February 2016 and was progressed to 90% completion before being suspended by LNG Canada in November of 2016. Design work resumed in June 2018 and will be completed in early 2019 if a positive final investment decision is achieved in Q3, 2018.
