Greyback lands PRH work

Greyback Construction of Penticton has been selected as concrete subcontractor for the new patient care tower and parkade at Penticton Regional Hospital.

The $12-million contract will provide a projected 80 man-years of employment.

The project will require 2,100 truckloads of concrete, 2,200 tonnes of rebar and 20,000 cubic metres of cement.

The patient care tower concrete will be completed by fall 2017, and the parkade concrete will be completed by summer 2018.

"Being able to contribute to the construction of the patient tower at the hospital is so vital to the people who live here and resonates deeply with the family values that have been instilled in the company for generations," said Greyback general manager Matt Kenyon.

Local workers have a vested interest in contributing to a successful project in their own community, he added.

"Having expanded health care facilities close to home will have a huge impact on families who live in the area, and we are honoured to be a part of this project," he said.

Greyback has been in business since the 1930s and recently worked at PRH, on renovations to the radiography room.

Other projects include the Osoyoos border crossing, South Okanagan Secondary School, City of Penticton waste water treatment plant and the W.R. Bennett bridge in Kelowna.
