Evaluation of terrain and geohazards along an alternative pipeline route in BC
Project Description

JDMA was retained to evaluate geohazards within a 10km long alternative pipeline corridor required to bypass a proposed mine development. The terrain within a 300m corridor was mapped with stereoscopic air photos and high resolution LiDAR data. Terrain units were delineated, including areas of bedrock, bedrock-drift complex, alluvial fan, ice-contact stratified drift, valley train, seasonally wet depressions and anthropogenic features. Slope gradient was also delineated within the corridor to help assess geohazards. Where issues were encountered possible realignments were suggested.
