New Local 793 signatory company, Pine Valley Property Development, is hard at work as a subcontractor for Valard on Hydro One’s 115kv transmission line refurbishment near Sault Ste. Marie.

Pine Valley operators Nick Kudlac (centre) and Brock Hilderley are pictured onsite with Local 793 Energy Sector Rep Charlie Peters (left) alongside a Link-Belt 210 excavator.

The project is part of a major upgrade of transmission lines in the area as industry continues to switch from fossil fuels to electricity to meet emissions targets, including Algoma Steel’s ongoing $703 million project to replace its coke-fired blast furnaces with two state-of-the-art electric arc furnaces.
