Opinaca - Éléonore project
Location: Val d'Or, Quebec
Bathymetric and geotechnical surveys to obtain information on water depth and soil conditions for the Opinaca reservoir dike and the tailings pond dikes, the pillars for the two bridges on the access route and the landing strip. The lack of a land route to the project site made this project logistically complicated.
