Talking Points<\/h4>\n\n\nA consortium led by Pomerleau, alongside Aecon and Stantec, has been selected to develop the Arctic Over-the-Horizon Radar (A-OTHR) project for the Government of Canada. This initiative aims to modernize NORAD infrastructure and enhance national sovereignty.<\/p>\n
The project will utilize an Integrated Project Delivery model, fostering collaboration among stakeholders throughout all construction phases. Philippe Adam, President and CEO of Pomerleau, emphasized the importance of this initiative in strengthening Canada’s defence capabilities amid rising national demands.<\/p>\n
\n- The A-OTHR project represents a significant investment in Canadian defence infrastructure.<\/li>\n
- Construction is set to begin following a validation phase and design development.<\/li>\n
- The collaborative approach aims to establish a new standard for future infrastructure projects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
This project is crucial for enhancing Canada\u2019s national security and demonstrates the government’s commitment to modernizing defence capabilities in response to evolving threats.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
