Landmark was retained by Hawthorne Gold Corp. to design and build a new ramp to their existing Ore Bin at their mine site in Jade City, B.C. This project involved the survey, design, supply, and installation of the new ramp. A Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) structure was designed to replace the existing wooden timbered ramp, at a considerable savings over conventional MSE construction. This concept allowed the ramp to fit into the existing bedrock slope, eliminating the requirement for costly drilling and blasting.

Project Details:

  • Construction Duration: 7 Days
  • Structure Length (m): 35
  • Structure Height (m): 15
  • Foundation Material: Bedrock
  • Fill Material: Sands and gravels
  • Finished Road Width (m): Variable (5-15)

Another successful project done in collaboration with Terratech Consulting Ltd.
