The Proposed Project

The Department of National Defence (DND) has proposed a project which involves work execution, labor supply, materials and tools necessary for a new distribution line installation; for the addition of parking electrical outlets in the petroleum park area. The work involves, but is not limited to: approximately 40 meters of soil excavation for the addition of an underground power supply, a new distribution panel and the installation of approximately five parking electrical outlets on existing guardrails. Contaminated soils will be disposed off-site and granular material will be imported to backfill the excavations.
