using environmentally friendly practices such as vegetable-based drill fluids and waste sorting and recycling. Their commitment ensures that projects are completed while minimizing their impact on the environment. CONSTRUCTION OF AVALANCHE BARRIERS In recent years, BAT Construction accomplished the installation of the most extensive snow net system in the Western Hemisphere. This groundbreaking project took place in Cougar Corner, Glacier National Park, an ecologically delicate region where the primary concern was the safety of the indigenous wildlife. The project’s objective was to deploy snow nets, a proven method for significantly mitigating avalanche risks by intercepting them at their origin points. Rows of snow nets were strategically placed in avalanche-prone areas to impede the initiation of snow slides. By incorporating snow nets in these vulnerable zones, both the slide areas and their paths experienced regrowth, enabling nature to reclaim territories that would otherwise be disrupted by annual avalanches. The implementation of the snow net system enabled Parks Canada Agency to maintain open highways and ensure uninterrupted commerce. Historically, scheduled closures and avalanche hazard mitigation, often involving ordnance Dan Sims - General Manager 49 DEC 2023 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA
