AtkinsRéalis and Shwe Miikaan form limited partnership to secure Highway 69 four-laning work
An Indigenous-owned construction company is one step closer to securing work for the four-laning of Highway 69 in Northern Ontario.
Shwe Miikaan — a construction company owned by Shawanaga, Magnetawan and Henvey Inlet First Nations — and AtkinsRéalis (formerly SNC-Lavalin) announced on June 6 they have formed a limited partnership.
This formalizes a teaming agreement the two parties originally struck in August 2023.
Under the agreement, Shwe Miikaan will contribute its expertise in construction and community engagement, while AtkinsRéalis will provide its services in project management, engineering, design, contract administration, and environmental services.
