On this episode of The Construction Record Podcast, digital media editor Warren Frey discusses Renew Canada’s 2024 list of Canada’s top infrastructure projects with Renew editor John Tenpenny.

As with previous years, health infrastructure projects made a strong showing due to pandemic-era spending increases to deal with the current health crisis and any future ones. Transit also continued to dominate the list across Canada, Tenpenny said, with over a quarter of the list’s projects.

He also noted most energy projects are focused on hydroelectric transmission and nuclear power rather than fossil fuels, and pointed to most highway projects as focused on maintenance and upgrades. Tenpenny added megaprojects such as Site C in British Columbia are so large that even as they near completion the “wind down” process still takes some time and other large projects are coming through the infrastructure pipeline in the next two to five years.

You can listen to The Construction Record on the Daily Commercial News and Journal of Commerce websites as well as on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Amazon Music’s podcast section. Our previous podcast with CK DesGrosseilliers, a spokesperson for the Threads of Life victims group talking about recent changes by the Ontario government regarding mandatory inquests after construction-related deaths is here. Thanks for listening.
