Experience

Engineering and Design

Chimax has completed well over 500 projects in the past ten years. A majority of the engagements were related to the power industry. These projects were located across Ontario, various other provinces and international locations such as Jamaica, St. Vincent, Bahamas, Iran, British Virgin Island, Belize etc. (see the sample list of reference projects). Chimax’s engagements in these projects ranged from general layouts, to engineering design of the civil structure for the distribution lines, substations or switch yards, to providing technical expertise or engineering support to the construction contractors.

In the past three years, facing the prospect of a power shortage, the Government of Ontario put a big effort into renewal energy and “green” power. Chimax Inc. provided valuable experience and expertise to the success of these projects. As of the end of 2007, Chimax Inc. was involved in over 75% of the installed capacity. See below for locations of the major projects.
