Xstrata Nickel Plant
Sudbury, ON, Canada
The Xstrata Nickel Plant required an addition to the existing facility to meet increased demand. This project required a quick mobilization after award with tight timelines for completion. EBS was chosen for our design-build capabilities, quick mobilization, and safety record. EBS’s design team determined that soil bonded micropiles were the most cost effective design to support the structures.
