SUNCOR COKE BOILER REPLACEMENT
PROJECT SNAPSHOT
Project Name | Suncor Coke Boiler Replacement
Owner | Suncor
Client’s Name | Ledcor
Location | Fort McMurray, AB
Date / Project Timeline / Delivery | January 2022 - December 2024
Market Sector | Oil & Gas
BACKGROUND (PRE-PROJECT COMMENCEMENT)
Located north of Fort McMurray, Suncor’s Coke Boiler Replacement (CBR) Project replaced aging coke-fired boilers with high-efficiency natural gas cogeneration units, delivering approximately 800 MW of reliable, lower-carbon power while supporting reduced emissions at the Base Plant. As part of this major infrastructure upgrade, ICONIC supported work across the Voyageur, Millenium and Cogen substations, contributing to the expansion, testing, commissioning and successful energization of critical high-voltage electrical infrastructure.
ACTION (ICONIC'S SCOPE & DELIVERY)
ICONIC completed extensive high-voltage upgrades across Suncor’s Voyageur, Millenium and Cogen substations as part of the CBR Project. Over two years and more than 55,000 labour hours, our scope included:
- Installing 260 kV Equipment
- Protection Panels
- Control
- Fibre and Telecom Cabling
- Reconductoring
- Grounding
- H-Frames
- Circuit Breaker Upgrades
ICONIC also provided protection and control testing, equipment testing, commissioning, acceptance and energization support, culminating in the successful energization of the Brownfield scope at Voyageur Station and support for final energization and commissioning activities at Millenium and Cogen.
RESULT/SOLUTION
ICONIC’s work supported the successful expansion and modernization of Suncor’s high-voltage infrastructure across the Voyageur, Millenium and Cogen substations. Through equipment installation, system upgrades, testing, commissioning and energization support, ICONIC helped enable the expanded 260 kV system to accommodate increased power export to Alberta’s electrical grid. The completed project supports Suncor’s transition to more efficient power generation, contributing to approximately 800 MW of reliable, lower-carbon power and reduced emissions from steam production at the Base Plant.
