As a major proving ground
in the LNG sector, Houle for
the last three years has played
a major role as the electrical
contractor at the Rio Tinto
Alcan Aluminum Smelter (an
LNG plant), which is a big part
of the Kitimat Modernization
Project in Northern B.C. Houle
has already finished a num-
ber of projects at the site in-
cluding two new steam plants
and compressor stations, a
new control building, the site
wide fiber and telephone net-
work, new medium voltage
substations and fuel stations
and much, much more. Houle
will be present as a hands-on
demonstrator at various BC
LNG Conferences in the near
future.
Now over three decades
since Lashin purchased Houle
along with 12 other employ-
ees, there is a definite eye
towards national expansion.
Houle is already seeing major
project opportunities emerge
in other provinces such as
Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Houle has established Nation-
al Contracts in both Automat-
ed Building Controls and Data
Networks across Canada.
“As one of Canada’s recog-
nized Best Managed Compa-
nies, we are now set to con-
tinue our growth not only in
British Columbia but nation-
wide and it is our goal to do
so without compromising on
the high quality of service
that our customers expect,”
Lashin affirms.
