Environment: Major Project Highlights

116 km pipeline in the fox creek region that Aurora completed all of the regulatory applications pertaining to land and environment to obtain licensing on crown land. Licensing was achieved within a 6-month time frame allowing the client to begin construction in the same calendar year. The scope of work included all AER OneStop applications, wetland desktop review, mapping and field verification, and wildlife assessment.

Aurora completed work for the installation of an 12 km AUC regulated high pressure pipeline in the Bonnyville region. The scope of work included land acquisition, wetland and wildlife assessments, regulatory applications and the environmental protection plan (EPP) reporting. The project was completed in a cost effective efficient manner in order to allow the client to begin construction on time.
