FMI has made significant contributions to the development of key wind energy projects in British Columbia and Alberta through its expertise in electrical and civil work. For the Zonnebeke & Sukunka (Z&S) Substation near Chetwynd, BC, FMI was engaged by Natural Forces in collaboration with the Saulteau and West Moberly First Nations. This project is integral to the Z&S Wind Projects, connecting to BC Hydro’s 230 kV Sukunka Substation via a new transmission line. FMI's scope of work included the installation of 230 kV and 35 kV equipment, a power transformer, insulators, surge arrestors, and an E-house. They also managed the supply and installation of a generator, tank, P&C and telecom equipment, cables and bus, AC/DC panels, and fire alarm and security systems. The civil work involved excavation, backfilling, installing concrete foundations and equipment pads, conduit, oil containment, a ground grid, and steel structures.

In Alberta, FMI played a crucial role in the Cypress Hills Wind Power Project, located east of Medicine Hat. This project, managed by MasTec Canada Inc., involves the installation of 48 wind turbines with a total capacity of 248.40 MW. FMI was subcontracted for the procurement, construction, and installation of the 230 kV Cypress Hills Substation, SCADA system, and project control building. Their work included installing all station foundations with final grading and insulation rock, structural steel, buswork, fittings, major electrical equipment, apparatus, AC/DC cabling, communications, and the SCADA system. FMI also constructed the control building complete with protection relays and grounding systems.

These projects highlight FMI's comprehensive capabilities in managing complex substation installations and their commitment to supporting renewable energy initiatives in partnership with Indigenous communities and major energy developers.
