Husky Energy has confirmed that the living quarters for the West White Rose extension project will be constructed in Marystown by Kiewit Offshore Services. Longest period of inactivityThe yard in Marystown has been quiet since late 2015, when work on a 3,500 tonne module for the Hebron project was completed. He expects 200 to 300 workers will be needed to construct the living quarters over a period of between 18 to 24 months. Union vote underwayMeanwhile, three unions are now voting on a collective agreement for the CGS project in Placentia, and "we expect to begin in-province fabrication later this year," said a spokesperson for Husky. Construction of the CGS is expected to take four years, after which it will be towed to the White Rose field about 350 kilometres east of St. John's.
