Project Overview

Location: Kirkland Lake, ON
Client: Enbridge Gas
Services: Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Geomatics, Land Surveying, Geomatics Engineering
Sector: Energy

Project Description

The Kirkland Lake Lateral Replacement replaced an aging 8 km NPS 4 natural gas pipeline that had reached the end of its service life. The corridor crossed urban, industrial, transportation, and utility environments, including rail crossings and infrastructure serving Macassa Mine.

TULLOCH supported the work from front-end engineering and design through construction with topographic and legal surveys, utility investigations, geotechnical investigations, construction layout, settlement monitoring, weld mapping, and final as-built documentation.

Scope of Services

  • FEED surveys and utility locates for pipeline replacement
  • Detailed topographic and legal surveys with buried-utility investigations
  • Geotechnical investigations for new pipeline and SMS station installation
  • Construction surveys and as-built documentation
  • Settlement monitoring at rail crossings
  • Weld mapping, pipe-data documentation, and as-built survey plans
