CIMA+ receives 2026 ACEC-NL Engineering Excellence Award for Tacora Resources decarbonization initiative. St. John's, June 10, 2026 - CIMA+, one of Canada's largest private consulting engineering firms, announces that its Tacora Resources Scully Mine GHG Reduction Initiative received a 2026 ACEC-NL Engineering Excellence Award, in the category "Recognition for excellence in engineering", during the award ceremony held on June 9. Presented by the Association of Consulting Engineering Companies - Newfoundland and Labrador (ACEC-NL), the award recognizes engineering excellence, innovation and the positive impact of projects delivered throughout the province. Developed for Tacora Resources' Scully Mine operation in Wabush, Newfoundland and Labrador, the initiative supports the client's decarbonization objectives through a comprehensive, data-driven approach to energy management and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction. CIMA+ conducted an integrated review of mining and milling operations to identify and prioritize high-impact opportunities to improve energy performance, reduce emissions and strengthen operational efficiency in response to rising energy costs and carbon pricing pressures. The project also enabled Tacora Resources to advance implementation measures and secure provincial and federal funding support. The first measure focuses on optimizing ore dryer performance, a major source of fuel consumption and GHG emissions at the site, while a second phase also currently underway includes the development of an energy management system to support long-term decarbonization efforts. The initiative also supported Tacora Resources' broader sustainability objectives by strengthening its approach to energy and GHG management, contributing to the continuous improvement efforts reflected in industry frameworks such as the Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM) program. "Receiving this recognition from ACEC-NL is particularly meaningful for CIMA+, as it reflects both the strength of our collaboration with Tacora Resources and our growing presence in Atlantic Canada," said Jeff Hynes, Executive Director, Energy and Resources and Atlantic Region Multisector Leader at CIMA+. "As our first engineering excellence award in Newfoundland and Labrador, this recognition reinforces the credibility and expertise our teams bring to complex industrial decarbonization projects across the region." "This award highlights the value of combining strategic advisory services with engineering expertise to help clients navigate complex energy and decarbonization challenges," said Christophe Jenkins, Lead Consultant at CIMA+, "While we are honoured to receive this recognition, the success of this initiative was also made possible by Tacora Resources' willingness to embrace new approaches and engage openly throughout the process. Meaningful decarbonization requires more than technical expertise. It requires a client that is prepared to challenge existing practices, evaluate opportunities through data and invest in long term improvements." About CIMA+.

CIMA+ receives three OPWA awards recognizing project excellence and industry leadership. PR Newswire Yesterday at 11:37am PDT TORONTO, May 14, 2026 /CNW/ - CIMA+, one of Canada's largest private consulting engineering firms, received three awards from the Ontario Public Works Association (OPWA) at its Annual Conference and Awards Luncheon, held on May 13, 2026. The firm was honoured with the Supplier and Service Provider of the Year Award; the Small Communities Award in the $10-50 million category for the D'Arcy Street Elevated Tank and Booster Pumping Station project in Cobourg, Ontario; and the Environment Award in the less than $2 million category for the Mill Street-Altamira Avenue Drainage Improvements project in Richmond Hill, Ontario. CIMA+ was selected as the recipient of the OPWA Supplier and Service Provider of the Year Award in recognition of its contributions to public works infrastructure across Ontario and its strong support of OPWA's mission and strategic objectives. Established in 2018, the award recognizes organizations that demonstrate excellence in service delivery and leadership in advancing public works services and infrastructure. Across Ontario, CIMA+ has played a key role in delivering transformative municipal infrastructure projects that enhance sustainability, resiliency and quality of life, including major transportation, water, wastewater and buildings initiatives. Recent OPWA-recognized projects, such as the Toronto Port Lands Dockwall Restoration, reflect the firm's commitment to innovative engineering solutions, long-term infrastructure resilience and strong partnerships with municipalities and public agencies. The D'Arcy Street Elevated Tank and Booster Pumping Station project was selected for the Small Communities Award, which promotes excellence in public-works projects completed in small municipalities and recognizes the importance of the partnership between agency, consultant and contractor. Completed in September 2025, the project enhances the reliability and resilience of Cobourg's drinking water system while supporting future population growth. Delivered in collaboration with Lakefront Utility Services Inc., the project reflects a strong commitment to sustainable infrastructure, innovation and effective coordination with key stakeholders and the local community. Chosen for the Environment Award, the Mill Street-Altamira Avenue Drainage Improvements project in Richmond Hill enhances flood protection and strengthens the area's stormwater management system. CIMA+ designed new storm sewer infrastructure and the localized reconstruction of the road to increase drainage capacity and improve surface flow from external contributing areas. A principal challenge was mitigating utility impacts and traffic disruption along a residential street during the design and construction of a new 1,800 mm diameter pipe to accommodate major storm surcharge storage. These infrastructure upgrades will reduce flood risk, improve system performance during major storm events and support long-term neighbourhood resilience to climate change. Presented annually, the OPWA awards recognize outstanding achievements in public works projects and leadership across Ontario. These recognitions highlight CIMA+'s continued commitment to delivering high-quality infrastructure solutions that support communities and contribute to the advancement of public works practices in Ontario, and across Canada.
