Building an Exemplary Safety Attitude
B.A.S.E.: Borea is one of the few contractors in the world committed to a behaviour-based safety program.
The B.A.S.E. program was developed specifically for the renewable energy project construction sector. The observation processes put in place by a committee of field supervisors and foremen have allowed Borea to identify the prevailing risky and safe behaviours on its construction sites.
Observers are present on every site. By monitoring work practices, they reinforce safe behaviours and step in to correct risky ones, working with the individuals involved to find safe solutions.
Borea has built on this approach and applies the same method across all of its construction sites. The strength of the B.A.S.E. program lies in its ability to prevent accidents and incidents before they occur.
Outcome for our customers
The daily and weekly meetings and the safety committee meetings are complemented by the holding of approximately 200 individual safety meetings per month, fed by the B.A.S.E. program.
A significant reduction
in accidents
Implemented in 2013, the program has proven so effective that key performance indicators show a significant reduction in accidents and lost-time incidents.
Thanks to the B.A.S.E. program, we are able to offer our employees and our clients some of the safest job sites in the industry.
Efforts
that pay off
Borea Construction won the Occupational Health and Safety Management Award at the 74th ACRGTQ Convention for the health and safety efforts made during the construction of the Mont Sainte-Marguerite Wind Farm in Beauce.
Borea stood out for the safety measures taken to control the dangers of trench collapses and excavations, falls of more than three meters, asbestos dust emanations and various electrical hazards.
We are committed to being the North American benchmark in renewable energy.
Our team is made up of talented and dedicated professionals, each bringing unique expertise to our table.

We have completed more projects in Canada than any other wind and solar energy contractor. From start to finish, we offer a unique building experience.
The Huckleberry Solar Project is a 124.7 MWac photovoltaic solar generating facility located in Mayes County, Oklahoma. Comprising 323,640 First Solar S7 modules, Sungrow SG4400-US inverters, and a NextPower 75 degree Hail Stow tracking system, it will produce enough clean energy to power more than 100,000 homes.
The Sharp Hills Wind Project is located in Special Area 3 and 4 near the hamlets of Sedalia and New Brigden, in Alberta. The project area is primarily used for grain farming and cattle grazing, which consists mainly of flat plains and rolling hills. Sharp Hills Wind Farm has a mixed layout utilizing 67 Vestas V150 turbines rated at 4.3 MW and 4.5 MW and has an installed capacity of 300MW. Sharp Hills’ generation is equivalent to the consumption of more than 160,000 Alberta homes.
La centrale photovoltaïque Michichi est une installation solaire de 25 MWac construite dans le comté de Kneehill, en Alberta, juste au nord de Drumheller, branchée au système électrique interconnecté de l’Alberta à la sous-station 802S Michichi Creek. Chaque année, le projet solaire Michichi produira suffisamment d’énergie sans émission pour alimenter plus de 6,000 foyers en Alberta et compensera environ 30,000 tonnes métriques d’équivalent CO2.
La centrale photovoltaïque Kneehill est une installation solaire de 25 MWac construite dans le comté de Kneehill, en Alberta, juste au nord de la ville de Three Hills, branchée au système électrique interconnecté de l’Alberta à la sous-station 770S Three Hills. Chaque année, le projet solaire Kneehill produira suffisamment d’électricité pour alimenter plus de 6,000 foyers moyens en Alberta et compensera environ 30,000 tonnes métriques d’équivalent CO2.
Le projet éolien Hand Hills est situé sur des terres privées dans les municipalités du comté de Starland et de Special Areas No. 2, à environ 6 km au sud-est du village de Delia, et à environ 28 km au nord-est de Drumheller, en Alberta. Le projet comprend 29 générateurs éoliens Siemens Gamesa SG 5.0-145 (« WTGs ») avec une hauteur de 95,5 mètres, permettant d’atteindre une capacité nominale totale pouvant aller jusqu’à 145 MW. BluEarth Renewables est le développeur, propriétaire et exploitant du projet éolien Hand Hills.
The Empress Solar Project is located in Cypress County, in Alberta, approximately 30km south of the Village of Empress on approximately 284 acres of privately owned land. The Power plant consists of ground-mounted solar PV Modules, with a total generating capacity of 38.5 MWac and 48.13 M Wdc.
Buffalo Plains Wind Farm is a project located west of Lomond, Alberta in Vulcan County consisting of 83 wind turbine generators that will generate enough to supply a city of more than 100,000 homes with clean energy.
Borea was awarded a contract by Pattern Energy for the construction of the Lanfine Wind Farm, located south and west of Oyen, Alberta, in Special Zone 3 of the Municipal District of Acadia.
