NORWALK, Conn.--(Business Wire)--EMCOR Group, Inc. (NYSE: EME), a Fortune 500(R) leader in
mechanical and electrical construction, energy infrastructure and
facilities services for a diverse range of businesses globally,
announced that its Canadian subsidiary, Comstock Canada, is making
good progress on a major refurbishment of the Bruce A nuclear
generating station in Tiverton, Ontario.

   Comstock Canada has a contract with SNC-Lavalin Nuclear to provide
mechanical and electrical construction services supporting the
facility's Steam Generator Replacement Program on two of the Bruce A
750 MW generating units. The scope of work involves the replacement of
sixteen of the plant's steam generators and includes the removal and
reinstallation of pipes, cables and structural interferences to allow
change out of the generators.

   "As Canada phases out coal plants and other nuclear generators are
reaching the end of their lifespan, the refurbishment of plants such
as Bruce A is becoming increasingly important," said Geoffrey
Birkbeck, CEO of Comstock Canada. "And as the province and country
increasingly look to build and upgrade nuclear power facilities, which
provide one of the only large-scale generation options that does not
emit greenhouse gases, we are poised to play a vital role."
