Arcadis was retained by Public Works and Government Services Canada – Pacific Region to evaluate a 1,100km stretch of the Alaska Highway Right of Way (ROW) previously used by the military during World War II. This section of the Highway ROW stretches from British Columbia to Southern Yukon.
Our screening activities identified 32 contaminated sites found at former military bases, airstrips and construction/maintenance yards. Arcadis developed remediation plans for 17 of the 32 sites, and assessed and deactivated 450km of roads, reducing driver risk.
Arcadis developed a GIS geodatabase that monitors environmental liabilities along the highway and the progress of remediation and mitigation projects. The geodatabase consists of a secure, web-based environmental management tool that allows managers and their designated consultants to easily access information and track the status of these sites.
