    "overview": "Bird Construction is a Canadian construction and maintenance company headquartered in Mississauga, with roots in Moose Jaw dating to 1920. Its industrial, buildings and infrastructure operations combine design-build and EPC delivery with self-performed civil, mechanical, electrical and systems work. The company reports more than 50 years of design-build/EPC experience. Its project references include a food-processing facility with engineering, procurement, construction and pre-commissioning scope, a high-voltage switchyard building, and wastewater heat recovery for a hospital. Responsibilities are identified by the awarded package: thermal energy capacity is separate from electrical generation, and construction within a nuclear site does not imply supply of the reactor technology.",
