8 Valard Construction workers assembling the HVac steel towers which will be installed on the transmission line between Muskrat Falls and Churchill Falls (Labrador Transmission Assets). Johnson s Construction, the contractor for bulk excavation and grading of the new Churchill Falls switchyard, is nearing completion of all scheduled work in this area. Final completion of this work is scheduled for October Labrador-Island Transmission Link (LIL) With horizontal directional drilling completed on the six boreholes required for the Strait of Belle Isle marine crossing, a new component of work took place in the Straits in September. During the first week of September, the Skandi Inspector, a vessel from Norway, arrived in Forteau to support borehole casing installation and perform survey work. At the end of September, casing was completed on all three of the holes on the Labrador side. Casing is a process which provides a smooth surface for the HVdc cable pullin during cable installation, thus helpings to ensure the integrity of the holes. A barge will be used to move the drill rig to the Shoal Cove side to case the three remaining boreholes on the Newfoundland side. The casings used in this project are the longest casings completed to date for the landfall of submarine power cables in the world. Manufacturing and testing of the submarine cable in Japan is progressing as planned. The manufacturing and testing of the third fiber optic cable was completed in Norway during September and is scheduled for shipment to Japan where the fiber optic cable will be integrated with the power cable. Preparations are in progress for longitudinal armouring of the first land cable and double armouring of the first submarine cable. Stranding for the second cable was completed and preparations for paper lapping are ongoing. Muskrat Falls Project September 2014 Project Report 4

11 CT HVdc Clearing and Access (Blocks 4 and 5 and partial 6) Johnson s Construction 5.0 Construction Cost Summary The projects were sanctioned in December 2012 with direct facilities capital cost of $6.20 billion plus financing costs to be capitalized during the period up to in-service. In June 2014, the direct facilities capital cost for the projects was updated. External market pressures, combined with strategic investments to enhance system reliability, operation and productivity throughout construction, have resulted in an updated capital cost forecast for the project of $6.99 billion. Since construction of the hydroelectric development at Muskrat Falls began, changing market conditions in an extremely competitive construction industry locally, nationally and globally, have increased the facilities capital costs on the project by approximately four per cent. Since sanction, several design enhancements have been made to improve system quality and reliability, construction productivity and operational efficiencies, which increased the facilities capital costs on the project by an additional nine per cent. 5.1 Incurred Cost Overview Table 1 summarizes the incurred costs for the project for the month of September and for the project to date. Incurred costs refer to the value of work performed during the period regardless of it being paid during the current period or at some point in the future.
