Project Outline:

This project will see the construction of a second powerhouse at the Brilliant Dam, adding approximately 120 MW of hydroelectric capacity to the Lower Kootenay River system. The Brilliant Expansion Consortium, composed of Chant Construction, Skanska International Civil Works and SNC-Lavalin, is constructing this design-build project.

The project includes the design and construction of a new water intake, power tunnel, powerhouse, access tunnel and tailrace channel adjacent to the eastern end of the operating Brilliant Dam.
