    "overview": "Hatch is an independent, employee-owned engineering and project delivery firm founded in 1955 and headquartered in Mississauga. Its work spans metals, energy and infrastructure, from feasibility and front-end design to procurement coordination and construction management. The references here document lithium-facility EPCM, low-carbon iron FEED and a long-duration energy-storage execution partnership. Each describes its authorized engineering or management role and planned project scale. They do not assign ownership of the facilities or establish a single fixed-price turnkey construction contract for every package.",
