Much work has gone on in the past in the Beaufort-Delta to look for granular deposits, and we have sifted through all of that information to come up with a plan for where we will get our granular material required to construct the road. We do want to go back and drill some more holes so that we can have some more certainty on both the quality and the quantity of granular that’s there. But based on the information that’s available, we’re comfortable that we will be able to prove up the resources that are there.

The other part of geotechnical is to conduct drill bore holes at all of the bridge sites so that we can finalize the design on the foundation for the bridges, and then also to look at various places along the proposed highway alignment so that we can better understand some of those areas that are going to be a little bit more challenging to build some road subgrade on and come up with the optimal solution for those areas. Thank you, Madam Chair.
