BC Hydro announced this month that Flatiron-Graham will design and build the Interior to Lower Mainland (ILM) transmission line. It's a three year construction term that will generate about 540 person-years of employment and HMA is involved.

HMA is delighted to be the land company working with Flatiron-Graham on this extremely important project. ILM will expand the capacity of the BC transmission system that brings power from where it's generated in the north and southern interior of the province to the load centres in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island (an area with a population of 1.4 million and growing).

Flatiron-Graham will be responsible for the design, materials procurement and overall construction of the 250 km transmission line. Part of the role HMA has on the Project is to provide landowner-relations support during construction; ensuring landowners are kept apprised of the construction schedule and that work crews have the timely access they need to different sites to complete the installation of the transmission line.
