PROJECT SNAPSHOT
The Forestry Trunk Road project was a large-scale hauling operation in the heart of the Rocky Mountain Foothills. The hauling was completed with time to spare and without incident, despite encountering solid rock and requiring the facilitation of a blasting operation. As with all of our projects, our dedication to preserving the environment was at the forefront of our operation. The new roadway was built over two oil and gas pipelines that were exposed with care and armored with preformed concrete protective pads.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- Moved over 500,000 m3 of material, including up to 25 m cuts and 20 m fills.
- Clear-cut, brushed and cleared road alignment; built corduroy pathways over streams and bogs.
- Installed silt fence, spring berm, coconut matting and other environmental control measures.
- Installed 1,400 mm, 1,200 mm and 900 mm culverts, ranging from 60 meters to 110 meters in length.
- Implemented high-quality safety and environmental control that included spreading topsoil and seed disturbed areas with region specific seed mix, as well as cleaning up all construction materials.
