In 1995, Avenor Maritimes embarked on an ambitious $200 million modernization program, which was essentially to demolish and rebuild almost the entire mill by converting it to a system based on wood chips instead of logs. Pollution control was also completely updated and revamped, and the Charlo water dam was modernized.
LNA was involved in the project managing all the construction activities for the installation of a new effluent treatment facility for primary and secondary treatment and, the installation of new sludge handling and dewatering facility.
LNA used innovative management techniques to meet project fast-track (accelerated mode) schedule.
