AJM Environmental was contracted by a major North American energy infrastructure company to conduct Caribou habitat monitoring for various energy projects including a mainline expansion along a pipeline corridor.

The scope of work provided by AJM includes:

• Remote camera monitoring: Deployment of 40 cameras across the pipeline corridors and offset areas to track human, predator, and prey use of the rights-of-way and to evaluate access control effectiveness; 

• LiDAR and nadir imagery: Aerial data collection to assess vegetation recovery, canopy closure, and line-of-sight conditions along the ROW. This data will be integrated with ground monitoring to evaluate restoration targets; 

• Ground-based vegetation monitoring: Field surveys to assess seedling density, growth, native species cover, and invasive species presence; and

• Data analysis and reporting of findings during each year of project activities and final reporting after monitoring has concluded. 

AJM was contracted by a major North American energy infrastructure company to provide post-construction wildlife monitoring services for a pipeline in northern BC for five years. The pipeline is a British Columbia Energy Regulator (BCER) regulated project. 

The scope of work provided by AJM includes remote camera monitoring, aerial monitoring (helicopter surveys), LiDAR and 360° imagery, ground-based vegetation monitoring, data analysis and reporting.   

Jamac Painting & Sandblasting Ltd. (Jamac) retained AJM to provide environmental consulting for the Bleriot Ferry Rehabilitation Project near Munson, AB in 2023. Critical deliverables were to include:

• Environmental Construction Operations (ECO) Plan; 

• Bird Management Plan (BMP), including a Wildlife Survey and Sweep of the area; and 

• Weed Survey and Weed Infestation map. 

AJM crafted an ECO plan compliant with current laws, regulations, permits, and the ECO Plan Framework. It covered all environmental aspects identified by the Environmental Risk Assessment, including Clubroot and Whirling Disease control methods, a Temporary Erosion and Sediment Control Plan, and a Bird Management Plan (BMP). The plan, once reviewed and revised in response to the Project administrator's feedback, included a Clubroot Management Plan adhering to Alberta Agriculture standards and a Whirling Disease protocol based on AEP guidelines.
