The Challenge
Managing high-risk ironwork activities in an extremely remote, northern work environment

Workforce retention and scheduling challenges tied to camp rotation (3-weeks-on/1-week-off)
The Risks Involved
High-risk structural steel work, including heavy lifting, hoisting, rigging, and line-of-fire exposure
Extreme cold-weather operations in remote conditions (–42°C to –47°C)
Remote site logistics impacting access, resourcing, and emergency response
Hazardous construction of refinery and truck shop structures under challenging conditions
