‘Carillion liquidation won’t affect completion of Sask. hospital’: Saskbuilds
The liquidation of the U.K. based company in charge of constructing and maintaining the Saskatchewan Hospital in North Battleford (SHNB) won’t affect the completion of the facility or any jobs there, according to Saskbuilds.
Earlier today it was announced Carillion, which has a 50 per cent equity share in the Public-Private Partnership (P3) project of the hospital, had to liquidate all assets after creditors and U.K. government officials failed to garner the short-term financing the company needed.
Lisa Danyluk, director of strategy and engagement with SaskBuilds Corporation, responded to battlefordsNOW in an emailed statement, which said the province’s contract for the project is with Access Prairie Partners (APP).
“Carillion is only one member of APP, and construction and completion of SHNB will continue. While APP had designated Carillion to be the company that would provide facility maintenance over the 30-year maintenance and operations phase of the project, if Carillion is not able to provide the service, APP will find a replacement at no additional cost to government.”
