TORONTO \u2013 A partnership between Aecon, Pomerleau and Stantec has executed an agreement with Defence Construction Canada to deliver the Arctic Over-the-Horizon Radar Program (A-OTHR) Stage 1 project that will be located in Ontario.<\/p>\n
Essentially, the project involves providing long-range, early-warning radar coverage of the country\u2019s northern regions.<\/p>\n
Aecon and Pomerleau will provide construction services as a joint venture, and Stantec will undertake multidisciplinary project management and design services.<\/p>\n
According to a release, the A-OTHR system is part of a federal investment implemented by Canada\u2019s Department of National Defence to modernize North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) infrastructure, which is a network of sensors, command centres and operational units that detect, validate and warn of aerospace and maritime threats.<\/p>\n
The program will establish a long-range surveillance radar network to monitor Arctic routes to major North American population centres.<\/p>\n
The project is being delivered under an Integrated Project Delivery model, where Defence Construction Canada serves as the project owner and an Aecon-led 50\/50 joint venture between Aecon and Pomerleau is responsible for project delivery.<\/p>\n
A validation phase will commence in the first quarter of 2026, the release notes. Upon validation and the completion of a design development phase, construction is expected to commence.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
