Diamond Mine Maintenance Project

Near Fort Smith, Northwest territories
overview

Project Overview

A remote diamond mine in northern Canada required critical mechanical inspections and repairs at a storage facility for blasting materials. The project was executed during severe winter conditions, highlighting strong logistical planning and the ability to perform high-risk tasks in isolated, safety-sensitive environments. The work was essential to ensure the facility's readiness before seasonal access roads became operational.
