Paladin was retained under Ledcor to provide Consulting, Engineering, Construction Management, and Construction Services for the Major HDD Crossings on the project. Review of past attempts and detailed risk assessment was developed to determine the best crossing options for the limited construction window and available resources for the remote work location. Paladin developed and managed a geotechnical/geophysical study including hydro-technical studies at three of the major crossings. The findings helped the construction and engineering teams develop comprehensive designs and construction plans to successfully complete the crossings in the winter construction season. In addition, Paladin, developed the Environmental Protection Plan for the HDD crossings while managing drilling fluids field testing for disposal during construction. Paladin provided an experienced drilling crew to successfully complete the Tieda Crossing as a design/build while using Ledcor’s leased drilling equipment.
