Aerial shot of Long Lake FuelCo. Fuel Depot
Crozier has been working for Long Lake #58 First Nation (LLFN), located over 300 km northeast of Thunder Bay, for over 10 years. LLFN lands are in the Municipality of Greenstone, west of the Town of Longlac, Ontario.
LLFN thru a subsidiary (FuelCo.) operates a diesel fuel depot on a portion of reserve lands designated to supply a nearby gold mine. FuelCo. retained Crozier’s services to assist with approvals for the fuel depot and storage yard, and to complete detailed engineering designs for civil site-servicing, on-site sewage, transportation design, electrical designs (power & lighting), and contract administration.
The project is complex in that it is situated on reserve lands, is used for industrial purposes located adjacent to a sensitive land use, and the access roadway is a single lane three-season logging road that connects with MTO’s Hwy 11.
As representatives of FuelCo., our team was required to develop solutions to meet the demands of the project and LLFN community memberswhile satisfying requirements of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, Ministry of Transportation, and an area logging company. Crozier staff also acted as LLFN’s technical advisor in coordinating the other professionals working on the project.
The Crozier team completed the Functional Servicing and Stormwater Management Report and provided detailed design of the stormwater management (SWM) systems, which included a SWM facility and oil-grit separators to manage runoff quantity and quality control.
Crozier’s Transportation Group was responsible for re-designing an existing, single-lane access road with significant roadway improvements to accommodate additional traffic volumes and loading requirements. The designs included a wider entrance, improved drainage, and reconstruction of the road to provide year-round access for the Depot.
The site’s electrical design was provided by Crozier’s Utilities Infrastructure Group and included a 1000 metre overhead pole line extension thru virgin land, internal power distribution system, and lighting system based on extensive photometrics analysis. The Crozier team is currently providing engineering design for a back-up power system, and the expected operational date for the depot is summer 2024.
