Aecon Group Inc. has expanded its footprint in the U.S. nuclear sector with the purchase of a fabrication facility in Jackson, South Carolina. The acquisition strengthens Aecon’s ability to support a growing roster of nuclear projects and clients across the United States, positioning the company to play a key role in strengthening domestic supply chains and supporting energy security across North America.

The 120,000-square-foot facility has been utilized by Aecon since 2015. Advancing the facility’s operations will play a key role in delivering critical fabrication and manufacturing services for nuclear refurbishment, life extension, new build, and federal projects. Additionally, the site will support conventional power and industrial projects, serving as a nuclear and ASME fabrication centre of excellence.

Aaron Johnson, Senior Vice President, Aecon Nuclear, stated that the investment builds on Aecon’s established, integrated nuclear fabrication network across North America. He noted that the Jackson facility strengthens Aecon’s ability to provide localized fabrication capacity for U.S. customers while drawing on decades of experience and technical excellence. It enhances Aecon’s integrated, self-perform solutions, combining engineering, fabrication, modularization, and construction to meet the evolving needs of commercial and federal nuclear clients.

Aecon’s Fabrication Facility and Welding Centre of Excellence in Cambridge, Ontario, serve as cornerstones of its capabilities. These facilities support some of the largest nuclear refurbishment and new build projects in North America by providing advanced welding, machining, modularization, and specialty fabrication services. This enables Aecon to self-perform and maintain control over quality, safety, and schedule across the full project lifecycle.

Together, Aecon’s nuclear fabrication facilities create a scalable platform supporting large-scale refurbishment programs and next-generation nuclear projects. This includes the first grid-scale Small Modular Reactor (SMR) project in the G7 currently under construction in Ontario. Aecon is leveraging its fabrication expertise, modular construction approach, and specialized workforce to help deliver this first-of-a-kind project.

The facilities hold certification stamps for nuclear quality management systems compliant with CSA standards in Canada and ASME (N, NPT, NS, and NA stamps). They also maintain programmatic compliance with U.S. federal regulation 10 CFR 50 Appendix B. Aecon’s 4,000-strong nuclear workforce and expanding fabrication footprint underscore its long-term commitment to the U.S. market.
