Designed with safety and sustainability in mind, Site C ensures reliable, clean power for future generations. BC Hydro, as the owner, worked collaboratively with the prime design consultants, KCB and AtkinsRéalis to undertake the design of critical components such as the earthfill dam, diversion tunnels, approach channel, drainage tunnels, power intakes, penstocks, the generating station, and spillways, in compliance with industry best practices. This collaborative effort highlights Site C’s commitment to safety, environmental responsibility, and community engagement, positioning it as a cornerstone of BC’s clean energy future, delivering affordable, dependable electricity while fostering regional growth.
