SNC-Lavalin successfully designed, constructed and commissioned the Brilliant Expansion Project (BEP), a 120 MW hydropower plant on the Kootenay River in British Columbia, while ensuring adherence to an Environmental Management Plan. Sustainability considerations were a keystone in the conception, design and construction of the project. The key environmental sustainability features of the project included a reduced footprint and visual impact, advances in sturgeon research, reduced fish mortality, maintained Brilliant Hole and improved fish habitat.

Constructed between the years 1926 and 1931, the Chute-à-Caron hydroelectric development is located on the Saguenay River, 40 km downstream from St-Jean Lake, in Quebec. It is part of the Shipshaw Complex which also comprises the Shipshaw power station, located 2.5 km downstream.The project involved rehabilitating the concrete dams and other structures of the Chute-a-Caron development, related to civil, mechanical and electrical works to ensure their performance for at least another 30 years. It also included a reevaluation of the stability of all concrete structures.The mandate also included an evaluation of the condition of the hydraulic passages of the four turbine-generator units. The electrical and mechanical components of the spillway gate gantry crane were evaluated and inspected. Finally, an evaluation of the dam monitoring system was also part of the mandate.
