Scope of this 5-year contract included the removal and stockpiling of 5,500,000 m³ of reclamation material at the North Steepbank Mine over 2011-2013. Scope also included windrowing and dewatering the work front prior to winter freeze down, frost promotion at the dump footprints and in between windrowed muskeg, and hauling reclaimed soils to their respective stockpiles while maintaining a government-regulated dump design.
Ledcor worked with Suncor’s mine planners to ensure reclaimed material was removed prior to scheduled overburden dump advances. Furthermore, our contributions were key in Suncor having the highest recorded volume moved in one season.
