Ever been on a construction site so cold that the cranes stop working and the pipes freeze over? Where a rubber hose has to be thawed out before you can even connect it to a generator?

That’s the challenge our team faced when we partnered with Foran to install a temporary natural gas power plant for their expanding mine in Northern Saskatchewan, Canada.

Not only was the entire area carpeted in snow, but the existing electricity transmission line was unable to provide sufficient power. They needed to figure out how to get electricity into the site to get the work started, without costs and emissions soaring as a result – and keep adding capacity as the project progressed through each stage.
