HYDRO activities in Pointe-Claire
AFI acquired its first project for the hydroelectric industry late in 1992 for the design, supply and installation of an intake gate for Algonquin Power’s Carmichael generating station.
This sparked the beginning of AFI’s start into the fabrication of water control gates and ancillary equipment for the hydroelectric industry. This project was quickly followed up with the supply of stoplogs, followers, trashracks, hoists and embedded parts for the Vallerie Falls Dam, in conjunction with their first (DesJoachims intake gate) of many projects for Ontario Power Generation. After the success of these projects, AFI quickly became a well-known name as a leader in gate design and supply in Canada and has continued to remain as such for the last 25 years.
AFI was sold to a private equity company and became AFI Hydro, Inc. in 2010. On May 1, 2014 ANDRITZ Hydro Canada, part of the ANDRITZ Hydro group, a leading international supplier of electro-mechanical equipment and services for hydro power plants made the acquisition of AFI Hydro, to complete their “water to wire” product offering in North America. It was fully amalgamated into ANDRITZ HYDRO Canada, Inc. January, 2017.
