Recently, Force Pile Driving completed at 3 month project for CNRL Kirby North. CNRL Kirby North featured the supply and installation of approximately 5,000 piles (combination of 8", 12", 18" and 20") on the central processing facility. Starting in March, Force began offloading all the pile pipe for the project. Force was sourced exclusively for the project from CNRL based on the successful completion of their Kirby South job. This project began in July 2014 with the schedule calling for continuous operation. Force Pile Driving had a large team on location, included multiple pieces of equipment to meet the aggressive schedule.
Some of the equipment on location included five Junttan rigs that were manned by 40 different Force employees. The Supervisors for this project included Rod Wagner and Ryan Dowswell with Joe Cabay as the Project Manager.
There were also SITE surveyors and their supervisors on location with Force. They were all very professional and persistent. They slogged through water and mud during most of the job laying and checking nails over and over because the rig mats, loaders and pile rigs squished them over. They taught different ways to utilize filters in the pile tracker to generate all the reports CNRL requested.
With the project over, Force demobilized and returned to the Force yard on October 24.
