Equipment: 170+ Rental Units (JetHeat Units, Flameless Heaters, Glycol Ground Heating)
Constructing a large hydroelectric dam in northern British Columbia required placing more than 2 million cubic meters of concrete over several years. Extreme winter conditions made heating and climate control critical to nearly every phase of construction.
The project demanded dependable heating solutions for concrete pouring and curing, ground thawing, and maintaining safe working conditions for crews throughout the harsh winter months. Given the size and duration of the project, consistency, efficiency, and responsive service were essential.

At the outset of construction, REIC Rentals supplied two JetHeat units to support early project activities. These units were initially part of a broader mix of heating equipment on site.
As the project progressed and winter conditions intensified, the lead contractors expanded their use of JetHeat technology. By the following winter season, additional JetHeat units were added, replacing less efficient heating solutions. The fleet quickly grew to 17 JetHeat units, supporting a wide range of heating applications across the site.
As confidence in the technology and service grew, the contractor began relying on REIC Rentals for additional climate control solutions, including flameless heaters and glycol ground heating systems.
Over multiple winter seasons, the project team experienced the full impact of REIC Rentals’ heating solutions. JetHeat units delivered powerful, consistent heat while significantly reducing fuel consumption compared to traditional heaters.
Equally important was the level of service provided. REIC Rentals’ responsiveness and on-site support helped ensure uninterrupted operations during critical construction phases, earning the trust of the construction team.
As construction continued year after year, REIC Rentals became an integral partner on the project. At peak deployment, more than 170 pieces of REIC Rentals equipment were operating on site simultaneously.
Over the course of seven years, reliable heating, strong service support, and scalable solutions played a key role in the successful completion of the dam. What began with just two JetHeat units evolved into a long-term partnership—demonstrating how dependable equipment and consistent service can support complex infrastructure projects in extreme environments.
