| Description: | With -40 below and miles from the nearest town not being a big enough challenge already, Onyx undertook this project on with a stride that carried them all the way to project completion 3 weeks ahead of schedule. |
|
A month prior to the Project start date APE set out the build a smaller, lighter platform drilling configuration that would allow the contractor to utilize a wide array of drill tooling. | |
| With no ice roads to work from,this configuration insured that minimal environmental damages would occur while running on top of the sensitive tundra. |
