Tutor Perini Corporation (NYSE: TPC) (the “Company”), a leading civil, building and specialty construction company, announced today that its subsidiary, Frontier-Kemper Constructors (“Frontier-Kemper”), has been awarded a contract valued at approximately CAD$341 million (USD$267 million) by FortisBC Energy, Inc. for the tunnel component of the Eagle Mountain - Woodfibre Gas Pipeline project. The project consists of using two tunnel boring machines to bore an approximately nine-kilometer tunnel between the town of Squamish, British Columbia, Canada and the Woodfibre LNG industrial site, located southwest of downtown Squamish. The tunnel will play an important role in protecting sensitive ecosystems and wildlife within the Skwelwil’em Squamish Estuary by locating underground a 24-inch natural gas pipeline system that Frontier-Kemper will install as part of the project. The tunnel will measure four meters in diameter and will run at depths of approximately 25 meters to 450 meters below ground surface.
