Energy   DAWCO recently won a tender for the RCV (Recyclage Carbone Varennes) project. Before giving you a brief overview of this victory, let me introduce you to this ambitious project, which took off in 2019 and is scheduled for commissioning in 2025.The RCV site has been specially designed with the aim of producing biofuels and circular chemicals from waste. This visionary plant's mission is to convert nearly 200,000 tonnes of non-recyclable residual materials and residual forest biomass, generating around 125 million liters of biofuel using Enerkem's exclusive thermochemical process, a world-renowned technology.   This project represents a colossal investment in excess of one billion Canadian dollars, and is being led by a group of renowned strategic partners, including major players supported by the governments of Quebec and Canada. During the construction phase, over 500 jobs will be created, and once the plant is up and running, it will directly generate around 100 jobs, not to mention considerable annual economic spin-offs of $85 million for the province of Quebec.   As you can imagine, a plant of this size requires a reliable power supply, and this is precisely the mandate we were recently given. DAWCO will be responsible for the construction of the 230 kV electrical substation, including the following elements:   - Supply and installation of steel structures, including the 230 kV gantry that will connect the substation to Hydro-Québec. - Installation of disconnectors and circuit breakers. - Acceptance and installation of a power transformer. - Acceptance and installation of the control building. - Cable pulling and connection work. - Complete grounding on site. - Supply and installation of fencing all around the installation. - And to top it all off, support for the customer and Hydro-Québec during testing and commissioning of the substation. The construction phase is scheduled to begin in late October 2023 and conclude in mid-January 2024. Marc-André Dulac will oversee the switchgear work, while Philippe Poirier will be responsible for the electrical aspect of the project. Sylvain Brodeur will hold the position of quality manager throughout the project, while Dany Gauthier will assume the role of full-time safety manager on site. A team of around ten workers, including fitters, electricians and civil engineering personnel, will also be required to complete the project.   As part of this contract, I'll be taking on the role of Project Manager, supported by Mélissa Beaulieu, Administrative Assistant.   I'd like to wish the best of luck to the entire team involved in this promising project, which represents a major step forward in our commitment to environmental sustainability.   Stay tuned for exciting updates on DAWCO's contribution to this initiative, which will do nothing but good for our environment. ### Latest publications [![Dawco white logo](https://www.dawco.ca/hubfs/dawco_logo-1.svg)](https://www.dawco.ca/) Certificates ![Parmi les 300 plus importantes PME du Québec | Les affaires](https://www.dawco.ca/hubfs/p3_footer_logo_3.svg) ![Programme dintegrité](https://www.dawco.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/Programme%20dintegrit%C3%A9.jpg?width=200&height=200&name=Programme%20dintegrit%C3%A9.jpg) ![Mixité 2022](https://www.dawco.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/Mixit%C3%A9%202022.jpg?width=475&height=475&name=Mixit%C3%A9%202022.jpg) ![program Ici on recycle](https://www.dawco.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/Ici%20on%20recycle-1.jpg?width=250&height=83&name=Ici%20on%20recycle-1.jpg) Quick links - [Range of expertise](https://www.dawco.ca/en/range-of-expertise) - [Field of activity](https://www.dawco.ca/en/fields-of-activity) - [Projects](https://www.dawco.ca/en/projects) - [News and publications](https://www.dawco.ca/en/news) Follow us [![Logo Facebook](https://www.dawco.ca/hubfs/mdi_facebook.svg)](https://www.facebook.com/dawco.construction/) [![Logo Instagram](https://www.dawco.ca/hubfs/mdi_instagram.svg)](https://www.instagram.com/dawco.construction/) [![Logo TikTok](https://www.dawco.ca/hubfs/tiktok-svgrepo-com.svg)](https://www.tiktok.com/@dawco.construction) [![Logo LinkedIn](https://www.dawco.ca/hubfs/mdi_linkdein.svg)](https://www.linkedin.com/company/dawco-construction/) [![Logo Youtube](https://www.dawco.ca/hubfs/mdi_youtube.svg)](https://www.youtube.com/@dawco.construction) Get to know DAWCO - [Our mission](https://www.dawco.ca/en/get-to-know-dawco) - [Our values](https://www.dawco.ca/en/get-to-know-dawco#ourvalues) - [Our history](https://www.dawco.ca/en/get-to-know-dawco#ourhistory) - [Our leaders](https://www.dawco.ca/en/get-to-know-dawco/our-leaders) - [Health and Safety](https://www.dawco.ca/en/get-to-know-dawco/health-and-safety) - [Quality](https://www.dawco.ca/en/get-to-know-dawco/quality) - [ESG](https://www.dawco.ca/en/get-to-know-dawco/esg) - [Corporate Policies](https://www.dawco.ca/en/corporate-policies) Life at DAWCO Immerse yourself in our culture and join the DAWCO family!
