CLIENT: Sub-contracted to Support a Canadian Leader in Energy and Environmental Waste Management Infrastructure

AJM Environmental Inc. was retained to conduct an environmental survey for a proposed pipeline located near Kerrobert, Saskatchewan.

The scope of work included:

  • Desktop review of existing environmental data, including a project screening report from HABISask, identifying species at risk potentially occurring within the project area;

  • Wildlife surveys for species of concern that have the potential to inhabit the project footprint, conducted in accordance with the Government of Saskatchewan’s Species Detection Survey Protocols. Surveys included assessment of habitat suitability, auditory and visual detection of species at risk.

  • Wetland and watercourse assessments within the proposed pipeline right-of-way to identify and classify aquatic features.

Following completion of the fieldwork, AJM prepared a summary report providing results and recommendations to support project planning and regulatory compliance.

Caribou Habitat Monitoring Program
Caribou Habitat Monitoring Program

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.
