Ahtaapq

The Ah’ta’apq Creek Hydro Project is located on the West Coast of Vancouver Island in the Hesquiaht First Nation community of Hot Springs Cove. Part of the Ahtaapq Hydro project, this free-standing power house utilizes a CLT structure for the walls and roof, taking advantage of prefabrication capabilities of CLT.

Kalesnikoff supplied 5-ply Cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels in SPF, including CLT hardware and fasteners. The panels were cut to size, with window openings, daps for splines and infill panel connections included.

The Ah’ta’ apq project has received support from the New Relationship Trust, the Province of BC, Natural Resources Canada, Infrastructure Canada, Indigenous Services Canada, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada and The Fraser Basin Council.
