Effective preconstruction and design optimization are crucial to delivering secure, resilient infrastructure for Canada’s evolving military and national security needs.

Canada has announced plans to vastly increase the size and capabilities of the Canadian Armed Forces. This investment in national security means not only more soldiers, sailors, air and support personnel and equipment, but also new and improved facilities to support operations, training and maintenance needs. 

“These are important, nation-building projects,” says David Hudock, PCL’s national director of defence and federal government relations and a 32-year veteran of the Royal Canadian Navy. “Canada must strengthen our defence to better protect our sovereignty, our interests and our allies.”

But many of these projects will also be complex, requiring exceptional levels of planning and cooperation. Like other mission-critical facilities such as airports, hospitals and data centres, these projects require resilient, mission-focused infrastructure capable of withstanding threats while enabling secure, uninterrupted operations.

Built in strategic and remote locations, these projects involve complex logistics and interdisciplinary collaboration, bringing together military planners, architects, engineers and security experts. Ultimately, success lies in delivering robust, secure and flexible environments that meet operational demands while safeguarding critical personnel and technologies.
