It’s expected to take up to two years to complete and a tender has not been issued yet. That project is in the works with plans to break it down from the top chunk by chunk rather than with one big bang because of the toxins trapped in the liner which also has to be removed. Vale says the concrete is deteriorated and needs to come down since they don’t want to maintain a structure they no longer need, installing their $1-billion Clean AER (Atmospheric Emissions Reduction) Project in 2018.
In addition, Priestly sought a further $6 million in damages for lost profits in connection with six demolition projects Vale was planning to let for tender, including the super stack. While Vale was aware their change orders, “express or implied” would result in extra costs, Priestly says, it hasn’t been paid the $2.413 million owed and is seeking payment through the court. Priestly said it has been performing work for Vale for 20 years without issue and alleges during the course of the project Vale kept adding changes to the scope which “resulted in additional costs and delays.” Meanwhile things escalated quickly and Vale was first off the mark, filing a lawsuit for breach of contract in July 2020 followed closely by Priestly which filed its own counter claim in August.
Priestly continued to wind up until June 30. Priestly denied the allegation and claims Vale terminated the contract in “bad faith.” Work began in April that year but two years later in May 2020 Vale abruptly terminated the contract claiming Priestly repeatedly violated health and safety protocols on the project. It housed a Cottrell system which collects dusts produced during the copper smelting process and was one of several adjacent to the furnace building and the superstack. 1 Cottrell building at the Sudbury Copper Cliff awarded March 23, 2018. The dispute stems from the contract for the “demolition, abatement, removal and disposal” of the No. Priestly Demolition, one of Canada’s most high profile and longest standing demolition companies, is locked into a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against Vale Canada for a project it worked on in preparation for the stack takedown. Plans to dismantle the now fully decommissioned Sudbury Superstack are in the works but there’s one company that won’t be bidding on the contract.
