\"Kicking<\/a>

Kicking Horse Canyon Bridge, in British Columbia, Flatiron’s first project in Canada.<\/p><\/div>\n

This April, Flatiron celebrates 10 years in Canada. In 2004, Flatiron opened a small office in Richmond, British Columbia, hoping to bring our transportation infrastructure expertise to our neighbors to the north. The original two-person staff included Blair Brandon, now President of the Canadian Division.<\/p>\n

In ten years, Flatiron\u2019s Canadian presence has grown from a two-man team to more than 1000 employees. The Canadian Division accounts for more than 40 percent of Flatiron\u2019s total business, and we have permanent offices in British Columbia and Alberta.<\/p>\n

\"Northeast<\/a>

Flatiron\u2019s first project was the Kicking Horse Canyon Bridge <\/a>in Golden, BC. The Civil Division supported the Canadian team with estimating support, and played a crucial role in winning this work. Kicking Horse was a complex endeavor\u2014the first curved incrementally launched bridge in North America\u2014but was completed 21 months ahead of the owner\u2019s schedule and cemented Flatiron as a builder and partner of choice in the region.<\/p>\n

\"Northwest<\/a>

The $125 million Kicking Horse project, a public-private partnership project<\/a>, was the first of many delivered by Flatiron under the alternative contract model. Flatiron is now one of only a few contractors in North America with a proven, and extensive, track record of PPP success, delivering nearly $2 billion in design-build services for PPP projects. Other notable PPP projects we\u2019ve built in Canada include Northeast Stoney Trail<\/a> in Calgary, and the\u00a0Northwest Anthony Henday Drive<\/a> in Edmonton.<\/p>\n

\"Port<\/a>

We are an industry leader in transportation infrastructure and oil-sands infrastructure work, building 30 projects worth $2.8 billion in a decade. We are currently constructing four projects on Canada\u2019s Top 100 list compiled by ReNew Canada, including the Port Mann Bridge<\/a> in Vancouver, Northeast Anthony Henday Drive, Ruskin Dam and Powerhouse Upgrade<\/a> in British Columbia and the Interior to Lower Mainland Transmission Line in British Columbia.<\/p>\n

Despite complex projects and rapid growth, Flatiron has maintained an exceptional safety record in Canada, working more than 6.4 million man hours in Canada without a lost-time injury from 2007 to 2011.<\/p>\n

Flatiron has also become an employer of choice, winning\u00a0six\u00a0employer awards since 2012. Flatiron earned a spot on the prestigious Best Workplace in Canada list in 2012 and 2013 from the Great Place to Work Institute. The editors of Canada’s Top 100 Employers named Flatiron a Top Employer for Young People in 2014 and 2013, and a Top Employer in British Columbia in 2013 and 2014.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to everyone at Flatiron in Canada for their work in making the past decade there such a success.<\/p>\n
