detonations in the slide paths, were necessary measures undertaken by Parks. Executing this ambitious project involved installing 2000 meters of Geobrugg snow nets within a challenging six-month timeframe in an area that tested the limits of established Swiss guidelines. These guidelines, set by the Swiss Directive for Defense Structures in Avalanche Starting Zones, align with the standards of the Swiss Society of Engineers and Architects. The intricate topography of the slide-prone areas, coupled with high snow densities, not only marked this endeavor as the largest snow net installation in the Western Hemisphere but also positioned it as the world’s most technically demanding snow net project in terms of volume. EMBRACING INNOVATION BAT Construction stays at the forefront of technology and trends in construction. “As you can imagine, having our crews perform high-risk rock scaling, drilling, and high angle construction work for over 35 years we have seen a lot of changes to how that work is performed.” 51 DEC 2023 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA
