PACIFIC LIAICON AND ASSOCIATES INC.

Pacific Liaicon and Associates Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of SNC-Lavalin Inc., specializes in project and construction management and management consulting. The company was founded in April 1970 by Henry Wakabayashi to provide project management services for major industrial developments. It was the firm's intention to specialize in handling clients' requirements through all phases of development including: conceptual design, feasibility studies, preliminary design, detailed design and engineering, construction, start-up, commissioning and turnover to the owner.

During the 1970s and early 1980s, Pacific Liaicon began to build a solid reputation in the forest industry starting with Cariboo Pulp and Paper Company's kraft pulp mill and continuing with Quesnel River Pulp Company's chemi-thermomechanical pulp mill, both in Quesnel, British Columbia .

The early and mid-1980s saw Pacific Liaicon's activities expand into other areas of responsibilities including coordinating and/or monitoring major Province of British Columbia projects. These projects included: the North East Coal Development, Greater Vancouver's Advanced Light Rapid Transit (ALRT) system, Expo 85 in Tsukuba, Japan , Expo 86 BC Pavilion, Expo 86 Disposal and Demolition, and the normalization of the Town of Ocean Falls.

The latter half of the 1980s and early 1990s saw Pacific Liaicon undertake several large pulp and paper industry projects including the Quesnel River Pulp Mill Expansion, the Peace River Pulp Mill, the Port Angeles Recycled Paper Project and the Newstech Recycled Pulp Project.

With the pulp and paper industry experiencing a recession in the early 1990s and opportunities for new pulp and paper mills in North America becoming limited, Pacific Liaicon began focusing its attention and expertise on major public sector projects including a series of expansion projects at Vancouver International Airport, the Greater Vancouver Water District's Drinking Water Treatment Program, Vancouver Wharves Limited's Berth 4/5 Redevelopment Project and the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation's Kootenay Lake Ferry and Kincolith Highway Extension Projects.

In 2001 Pacific Liaicon was purchased by SNC-Lavalin Inc. , and has continued to provide its services to long-time and new clients: the Greater Vancouver Water District, Vancouver Airport Authority, BC Ministry of Transportation, British Columbia Ferry Services Inc., Government of British Columbia, BC Transit, BC Hydro and Kinder Morgan Terminals.
