Tools for building and land development
Our experience of more than 20 years has brought us to play key roles in land assessment of major construction projects.
Activities
Delineation and optimization of energy transport corridors, roads, pipelines following multiple criteria including surficial deposits, topography, drainage and environmental factors;
Identification and mapping of potential sites for large projects implementation (hydroelectric complex, camp sites, air strip, landfills, etc);
Borrow pit (sand, gravel, till) and rock quarry identification and mapping, volume estimations, land reclamation >> Click here to read more...
Investigations for construction borrow material sources
Examination of air-photographs along with field investigations allow to identify potential sources of material required for the construction of major works such as roads, dams, construction camps, stabilizing works, airstrip, electric transformation substation, etc.
Borrow material sources, selected following specific needs, are identiffied and outlined with air-photographs, field investigated (through pits and surveys) and characterized along numerous parameters (type of material, volume to extract, environmental limitations, access, ...). This data is further used for land use approval and permits.
Planning of temporary roads for heavy equipment, stream crossing optimization and impact assessment >> Click here to read more...
Access studies for temporary roads and waterway crossings
These studies consider the road access issues for power line establishment and other infrastructures built within linear corridors.
The main issue is to identify field diffculities for the ongoing move of heavy equipment, elaboration of access strategies, identification of best alignment for accesses and bypasses to connect to the existing road networks. These studies also involve the design work for waterway crossings along with various topographic limitations.
Identification and characterization of permafrost;
Legal expertise for dispute cases regarding soil and surface material characteristics.
