Potain MD 3200 crane expedites dam project in Canada
A Potain MD 3200 MAXI tower crane is helping with the construction of the Site C Clean Energy Project - a third dam and hydroelectric generating station on the Peace River in British Columbia (BC), Canada. The crane, which is the largest Potain crane to ever be used in North America, is working on the Generating Station and Spillways (GSS) civil works portion of Site C. When completed, the dam will be the province's fourth largest producer of electricity. Aecon-Flatiron-Dragados-EBC Partnership (AFDE), the construction group in charge of the project, acquired the Potain MD 3200 crane specifically for penstock installations on this job. The crane arrived at the job site in February last year and started working in August.
