WAC Bennett Dam Construction
Get involved in one of BC's largest infrastructure projects with opportunities in construction, labour, and power generation.
Supporting hydroelectric power generation and energy supply in British Columbia.
The W.A.C. Bennett Dam, located on the Peace River in northeastern British Columbia, is one of the world's largest earth-fill dams. Constructed between 1963 and 1967, the dam stands 183 meters high and stretches 2,068 meters along its crest. It impounds the Williston Reservoir, which has a surface area of 1,773 square kilometers, making it the largest reservoir in British Columbia. The dam's construction was a monumental engineering feat of its time, significantly contributing to British Columbia's hydroelectric capacity. The associated G.M. Shrum Generating Station, located at the dam's base, has a generating capacity of 2,790,000 kilowatts, supplying a substantial portion of the province's electricity needs.
