Atlantic Poultry’s goal was ambitious: create a modern hatchery capable of producing large volumes of healthy chicks while upholding the highest standards of animal welfare, biosecurity, and operational efficiency.

Our Work Included:

• Optimized Infrastructure Reuse: We adapted the existing building shell, drainage systems, ventilation network, electrical service, and backup generators, significantly reducing both construction costs and environmental impact.

• Specialized Hatchery Equipment Integration: Partnering with Jamesway Incubator Company for the incubators and Innovatec Automation for the processing line, we coordinated one of Canada’s largest installations of its kind at the time, integrating equipment from multiple suppliers into a unified operational system.

• Biosecure Layout & Product Flow: Our team developed a hatchery layout with clearly defined clean and dirty zones, optimizing chick movement, staff access, and process flow to minimize contamination risk.

• Regulatory Compliance & Approvals: We guided the client through the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) approval process and ensured compliance with all provincial building, environmental, and operational regulations.

• Construction & Commissioning Leadership: Working closely with the general contractor and trades, we identified opportunities to redesign and repurpose equipment, improving project economics and accelerating timelines without compromising quality.
