Who is CNL
Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) is Canada’s premier nuclear science and technology organization, which operates Atomic Energy of Canada Limited’s Chalk River Laboratories (CRL) Site, located in Chalk River, Ontario.
CNL is a world leader in developing peaceful and innovative applications from nuclear technology through its expertise in physics, metallurgy, chemistry, biology and engineering.
Our Site
The CRL site is over 9,000 acres in size with approximately 250 buildings and structures ranging from office buildings to service and accessory buildings. Most of the buildings are located on the main plant site in a built up area of about 200 acres however there are buildings in the outer acreage and in the nearby Town of Deep River.
CNL has launched the process to plan, design and construct four new facilities at its Chalk River campus which represents more than $100 million in new infrastructure. Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, on behalf of the Government of Canada, is investing more than $1.2 billion to revitalize the Chalk River Laboratories (CRL) and build new, world-class science facilities. Once complete, the new buildings will serve as important “enabling” facilities for the site.
- The new Business Hub will provide modern office space for approximately 400 employees, relocating business infrastructure such as the Data Centre, Library and Records Management, and the Health and Wellness Centre. Geotechnical work for this building has already been completed.
- CNL’s new Support Facility will consolidate, expand and improve shop space, resulting in operational efficiencies across the campus. Currently, CNL’s manufacturing and maintenance operations are spread out among several buildings, all of which are beyond their useful life. The new building will also contain storage facilities and offices to streamline maintenance and manufacturing activities.
- A new Logistics and Warehouse Building will transform the site entry point and arrival experience at the site while ensuring employees have timely access to products and services. The building will also serve as a security check point for all people and materials coming to the site reducing vehicular traffic, and will include new guardhouses, meeting rooms, and support facilities for security and warehouse employees.
- Between 2016 – 2026, CNL plans to decommission and demolish approximately 120 structures which are currently on site.
- In addition, CNL is in the process of designing an Advanced Nuclear Materials Research Centre (ANMRC), modern laboratory research complex which will serve as the backbone of CNL’s research and development infrastructure while functioning as a major facility in the delivery of its nuclear science and technology programs.
The Current Services
Custodial service is presently provided in approximately 45 buildings on the main campus, 5 buildings in the outer acreage and 5 buildings in Deep River. Vehicular traffic is restricted on the main campus with staff walking between buildings.
FUTURE SERVICES - Custodial and Related Facility Management Services
Canadian Nuclear Laboratories is looking to work with a company to provide a long term solution for Custodial and Related Facility Management Services.
Over the duration of the contract, the service provider will be required to assist CNL to navigate its campus refresh. This will be an exciting and dynamic time as CNL transitions from the buildings of its past into its future state.
