As one of the largest construction projects in the world, the Keeyask Project in Northern Manitoba has required a ton of equipment as part of its construction. Thousands of these items have been consigned to Ritchie Bros.' Marketplace-E platform, a controlled online marketplace offering multiple price and timing options to sellers.

Bids can be placed on many of the items today at IronPlanet.com/BBEHC.  

"This is top-of-the-line equipment, expertly maintained by an onsite crew whose sole job is to ensure every piece is in peak working condition," said Brian Freeze, Indirects Manager/Labour Relations Manager, BBE Hydro Constructors LP. "These assets are coming straight off the jobsite and are ready to go to new owners right away. All items have been inspected and are backed by IronClad Assurance, with inspection reports and work orders available online."

Mr. Freeze added, "We've chosen to sell with Ritchie Bros. because of the massive audience they attract and the flexibility their multiple solutions provide."

The majority of the equipment is late model and bought specifically for the Keeyask Project between 2014 and 2018. Highlights include dozers (Cat D4Ks, D6Ts, D8Ts, D9Ts, D10s); motor graders (Cat 14Ms, 16Ms); excavators (Cat & Komatsu models); articulated dump trucks (large selection of 40-ton trucks from Cat & Komatsu); rock trucks (773Gs); wheel loaders (Cat & Komatsu models); cranes; skid steers; crushing equipment; truck tractors; boom trucks; mixer trucks; service trucks; trailers; and more.

All the equipment has been consigned by BBE Hydro Constructors LP, which is a partnership made up of Bechtel, Barnard Construction Co. Inc., and Ellis-Don specifically for the Keeyask Project.

"This is high-quality gear from some of the biggest construction companies in the world," said Brian Glenn, Chief Sales Officer (Canada), Ritchie Bros. "Our ability to provide a transparent, multichannel solution makes us the ideal partner for a company like BBE Hydro Constructors. I encourage interested bidders to check out the items online and start bidding. There are 'Buy Now' prices on many of the items so you can take items home or to your jobsite ASAP. It's that simple."
