Agreement Value:
$280,000.00
Agreement Date:
Jun 15, 2019 - Dec 31, 2021
Description:
The long-term goal for the firm is to develop a dynamic engineering based system for monitoring buildings (structures), which are experiencing foundation degradation due to changes in permafrost conditions in the Arctic. Currently, wood pile foundations (from the 1950s and 1960s), used for the majority of buildings in the NWT, have been experiencing failure due to permafrost changes, as well as decay over decades. The issues affect the viability of buildings, safety of occupants, and absorbent costs.
In this phase the firm intends to apply scientific and engineering rigor to understanding the remediation system's as currently used, as well as proposed, primarily surface rot remediation, full pile remediation and various blocking system
