Agnico Eagle Detour Mine
Opportunity
-
Vegetation clearing under a 104 km, 230 kV transmission line
-
Overcome challenges of limited access and extreme winter conditions
Equipment Used
-
2 CMI mulchers
-
4 chainsaw/brush-saw operators
-
2 utility arborists
Work Summary
Northern Alliance Group mobilized a camp directly on-site to minimize travel time and enhance crew productivity. Our team constructed a durable access road along most of the transmission line route, which included building 60 ice crossings and a 70 km ice road to ensure safe access to remote areas.
RESULTS
Despite limited access to the transmission line, the entire project—from mobilization to vegetation clearing—was completed efficiently within three months, delivering high-quality results under harsh winter conditions.
Moreover, our team demonstrated our ability to execute large-scale, complex projects with precision and speed, ensuring a safe and successful outcome for the Agnico Eagle Detour Mine’s transmission line.
