A Renfrew-based excavation company has won the largest portion of a contract to build a $20-million water power generating station in the Ottawa Valley.
Bonnechere Excavating Inc. will be handling about half of the work on Renfrew Power Generation’s Thomas Low Generating Station, said Charlie Jamieson, the project manager.
