SUGAR LAND, Texas, June 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Growing demand for product from the Canadian oil sands is driving much of the project growth in Western Canada this year, notably for energy-related infrastructure. Industrial Info is tracking more than $27 billion in active projects set to begin construction in Western Canada in the second half of the year, including nearly $15 billion in Oil & Gas Industry projects.
