As of August, 2018 this project is still in progress with a final completion date slated for summer 2019. Due to high
water saturation, the ground conditions on this project require extensive de-watering. The de-watering is imperative
since the overall goal of the project is to implement a Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP). This particular SWMP
requires a large engineered pond (with liner) and ditch system. This system incorporates and inlet/outlet to the pond.
It’s overall purpose is to capture all water runoff from the gas plant into the pond. When completed there will be an
additional 3.5 Meters of fill to ensure greater ground stability. Engineering measures are being worked out to lower
the current water table by over 3 Meters. This will ensure greater ground stability for the construction phase.
Team Resources managed the installation of GEOWEB® on this pad. This product uses a network of 3D interconnected
cells. When used to specifications infill is confined, resistant to movement and stable. The GEOWEB® system
confines infill material. Thus it ‘transforms’ cohesion-less soil type infill into strong and stable material.
GEOWEB® can be used for a host of applications such as roadways and steep embankments. Team Resources added,
in conjunction with the GEOWEB®, 4-6” of gravel extra above the web for extra support and stability.

Team Resources provided excellent project management for this early winter road construction project. Respecting the impending obstacle of frozen soils,
Team Resources elected to stay ahead of the frost by building the road in 200 metre sections. The landowner's property was taken into consideration
during early construction phase by stripping all of the top soil and sub soil to one side. This wise decision enhanced the over all project in several
ways. It placed the road tight to the quarter section line putting less crop land out of production. With only one ditch cut an entire extra metre of
work space was gained from only stripping one side. Once each 200 metre section of road top was complete to grade the soils were spread back into
the ditch and the next 200 metre section was started.
