Peace River Hydro Partners’ 1st Day of Christmas Giving

$3,000 of South Peace Colony Turkeys for Fort St. John Salvation Army Food Bank

Fort St. John — December 1, 2020 — For the first day of the “12 Days of Giving” campaign, Peace River Hydro Partners partnered with South Peace Colony to give turkeys to the Fort St. John Salvation Army Food Bank. The Salvation Army offers services dedicated to the community, such as the Christmas Food Hamper program, emergency vouchers for the Thrift Store, and Food Hampers for families in need. The Salvation Army Food Bank provides non-perishable food items to members of the community facing hardship, especially around the holidays. PRHP hopes that the gift of South Peace Colony turkeys will give those in need a delicious meal.

Peace River Hydro Partners, a joint venture between ACCIONA and Samsung Renewable Energy Inc., holds the Main Civil Works Contract on BC Hydro’s Site C Clean Energy Project. PRHP takes great pride in contributing to communities within the Peace River region and has set out support criteria on their website. The three pillars serving as the foundation for gifting are children and youth, healthy families, and education.

Over the course of the next 11 days of December, PRHP will announce additional recipients.

Milestone Achievement: Diversion Tunnels

/in /by

PRHP has reached a new milestone on the Site C project with the completion of the two Peace River diversion tunnels. Four gate structures, located at the upstream and downstream entrances of both tunnels, have also been completed.

This work was completed during a period of scaled back activity on the project due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since March 18, BC Hydro has prioritized work required to achieve river diversion in fall 2020.

The tunnels, located on the north bank of the river, are approximately 750 metres long and 11 metres in diameter. Beginning later this year, they will be used to reroute the Peace River around the dam site, allowing for the construction of the earthfill dam across the main river channel.

Excavations on the tunnels began in summer 2018 and were completed in late 2019. The tunnel lining process, which involved using a custom-built slip form to enable concrete to cure in a perfect circle, began in summer 2019 and was completed in May 2020.

CONGRATULATIONS to everyone for their hard work!
