Challenges:

Henvey Inlet 230 KV Transmission Line

Parry Sound, ON, Canada

An 80 km corridor, winding its way from Henvey Inlet to Parry Sound through some of the most beautiful and treacherous terrain Ontario has to offer. Our Micropile crews and equipment were able to get into areas that rendered many traditional solutions impractical.

78 Tower Locations
78 of the tower locations required foundations capable of high loads, in difficult soil conditions.

Limited Access
Rough terrain, remote locations, and environmental concerns made accessing and working on this site challenging.

Custom Tower Bases
EBS designed and installed.
Custom tower bases provide steel transitions from the micropile foundations. To meet variations in loading and locations, the bases were custom designed for each location.

Quick Installation
Our quick mobilizations, efficient drilling and our ability to install our custom-designed bases in all seasons, resulted in our installation being substantially quicker than other methods.
