We’re bringing our employees together in fewer places at a new Regina Operations and Maintenance Complex. The facility will be built at the Global Transportation Hub in Regina.
Why We're Doing It
This project brings functions located around the City of Regina into one place. Doing this will make our work more efficient and improve access to services.
Complex will let us bring together several divisions, including:
- Logistics
- Fleet Services
- Metering
- Furniture Warehouse
- Facilities Management
- Transmission and Distribution Operations Support
- Transmission and Distribution Engineering
- Distribution Operations and Maintenance
- Stations Operations Maintenance
- Safety and Environment departments
- other Supporting Divisions
This new complex will replace current buildings noted below that are nearing the end of their useful lives. Many of these properties require extensive upgrades soon and would require a large investment to maintain. The costs for operating and maintaining a modern, new complex will be offset by lower maintenance requirements and reduced utility costs.
- Regina Service Center
- Federal Pioneer
- Regina Maintenance Center
- The Furniture Warehouse
- Lumsden Maintenance Center
- White City pole yard
Our Progress So Far
In July 2019, we selected Strategic Prairie Region Alliance (SPRA) as the lead architect. We’ve worked with them to complete the master planning. This helped us figure out which departments are moving to the Regina Operations and Maintenance Complex. It also allowed us to determine how many buildings are required.
Earthworks construction began in fall 2020. In December 2020, we began working with general contractors in the industry to raise awareness of the upcoming work and in January 2021, we began our procurement process to search for a firm to build the first phase of the facility.
In July 2024, we selected PCL Construction Management Inc. to build Phase Two of the project. Construction began in summer 2024 and will take about two years to complete. This will consist of facilities for transmission, distribution, safety and other supporting units.
