The company posted revenue of $1.32 billion, compared to $1.16 billion in the same period last year. 

New contract awards worth $991 million were booked in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $682 million in the same period in 2021.

In a news release, Aecon Group's chief executive Jean-Louis Servranckx said the company continues to see strong demand for its services across Canada.
