K+S Legacy Potash Modules
At Saskatchewan’s newest potash mine, a solution mine near Regina, PCL teamed up with Supermétal to produce 72 modules. Supermétal’s pre-assembly yard employed 50 Ironworkers and was constructing simultaneously 10 modules at a time, to meet a tight delivery schedule.
​
At an investment of about $4.1 billion, Bethune mine is the single largest project in the company history of the K+S Group.
The mine has enabled K+S Group to:
-
gain access to valuable potash resources from an additional source
-
better positioned itself to participate in the expected market growth
-
decrease its average potash production costs significantly
-
become the only potash producer with production sites on two continents
-
extend its worldwide presence and proximity to markets
-
strengthen its competitiveness significantly
