Wicehtowak Aecon Industrial Limited Partnership, a partnership between George Gordon Developments Ltd. (“GGDL”), an Indigenous-owned and operated business, and Aecon, will deliver the Wet Mill Area for Stage 1 of BHP Canada’s Jansen Potash project about 140 km east of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The work on the Wet Mill Area will include, Structural, Mechanical, Piping, Electrical and Instrumentation.
The scope of work includes the installation of pre-assembled units for the construction of the wet mill, tailings, and reagents buildings. Wicehtowak Aecon LP is also responsible for the construction of these pre-assembled units at Aecon’s fabrication facility in Sherwood Park, Alberta, through a previously awarded contract.
BHP Jansen Stage 1 is expected to produce approximately 4.35 million tonnes of potash annually, with the first production planned for late 2026.
GGDL, who holds a majority interest in the partnership, is dedicated to creating sustainable economic growth for the prosperity of Indigenous communities and is owned by the George Gordon First Nation – located in the heart of Treaty 4 Territory.
