Brock Canada Wins Big!

Brock Canada has been awarded a portion of the scaffolding scope at Inter Pipeline’s Heartland Petrochemical Complex. The project is located 65 KMS (40 Miles) north of Brock Canada’s Nisku Headquarters, in Redwater Alberta. This scope is part of IPL’s 2021 Capital Project plan worth $1B with operation expected in 2022. This opportunity opens the door for Brock to obtain additional scope at the site.

The Heartland Petrochemical Complex is an approximately $4.0 billion project designed to consume approximately 22,000 b/d of locally-sourced, low-cost propane to produce approximately 525 kilotonnes per annum of polypropylene, a high-value, easily transported plastic used in the manufacturing of a wide range of finished products. The Heartland Complex will materially diversify and strengthen Inter Pipeline’s existing large-scale NGL processing business, while creating an attractive new market for Alberta propane. Construction is well underway at the Strathcona County site, near Inter Pipeline’s existing Redwater Olefinic Fractionator.

“The Heartland Petrochemical Complex represents the largest organic growth project in our history, and a key part of our growth strategy” Christian Bayle, Inter Pipeline President and CEO

Congratulations to Brock Canada!
