CIGAR LAKE PERMANENT ACCESS ROAD
Project Description
UMA Engineering Ltd. designed and coordinated construction on a 52 km all-weather permanent access road for Cameco to allow for ore haul and delivery of supplies into the Cigar Lake site in Northern Saskatchewan . Sub-consultants included AGRA Earth & Environmental and AMEC Earth and Environmental. The road passed through rough terrain, encountered large cut and fill areas, and included approximately one million cubic metres of earthworks. Crossing seven fish-bearing streams requiring special hydraulic design and construction considerations, including erosion and sediment control features, the road was constructed in full compliance with the required environmental permits. Natural in-situ materials were used to construct the road and required unique road-top stabilization techniques.
