CASE STUDY
SHELL CANADA – KISKATINAW RIVER HYDROMETRIC MONITORING
From 2009 to 2013, Eco-Web performed monthly hydrometric surveys as a condition of Shell’s Water Licence. Eco-Web determined if the river had sufficient discharge to remove water. In addition, Eco-Web calculated a new zero-withdrawal threshold for the Kiskatinaw River, which takes into account environmental flow needs.
TALISMAN ENERGY INC. – INTERCONNECT PIPELINE REPAIR BULLMOOSE AREA, NORTHEASTERN BRITISH COLUMBIA
In July of 2009 there was a significant flood event caused by heavy rains, rapidly melting snowpack. One creek escaped its banks and secured a new scour channel, West Bullmoose Creek scoured out the pipeline crossing to the pipe and Bullmoose Creek scoured out leaving the pipe suspended across the creek. Eco-Web in conjunction with Dillon redesigned and reconstructed these crossings.
