According to ReNew Canada magazine – a leading expert on infrastructure, which recently published its annual Top 100 Infrastructure Projects report – Morrison Hershfield is a key player in Canadian infrastructure spending with 13 projects on the $96,096,400,000 list. The 13 projects are valued at over $13.6 billion.
“Infrastructure is a leading indicator of economic growth, and this country is doing well in terms of large-scale projects,” said Mira Shenker, Editor, ReNew Canada. “For four years, the Top 100 has been a barometer for spending and this year, the projects total over $96 billion, up from $68 billion in 2010. Nearly half of the projects are new to the list, an indication that a fair amount is being done to address this country’s aging assets.”
Morrison Hershfield received Platinum Badge Status which means the firm is responsible for having at least ten projects on the Top 100 List. The Morrison Hershfield projects are:
“We are excited to award the Platinum Badge Status to Morrison Hershfield, in recognition of their significant contribution to infrastructure in Canada,” said Shenker. “The size and scope of these projects will have a positive impact on the local and national economy.”
Anthony Karakatsanis, President and CEO of Morrison Hershfield Group Inc., adds, “the diversity of our 13 projects is indicative of the multidisciplinary strengths of our staff. The sectors covered by the assignments range from airport, subway, rail and light rail, highway, hydroelectricity, education, justice and social infrastructure. Methods of funding include P3 (DBFO), public and private. I am particularly pleased that three of the projects are targeting LEED® silver or gold certification.”
