Ice Profiling in Action

The Winter Road linking Tlicho communities is an engineering feat requiring months of detailed planning and teamwork to construct. A critical aspect of constructing safely is how Tlicho Engineering & Environmental Service (TEES) works on the ice. TEES has begun using ground penetrating radar (GPR) technology to give them precise, real-time data to determine ice thickness and integrity -- to millimeters – to protect crew safety and operate at maximum efficiency to open the road as early as possible.

Tłı̨chǫ Connection

The Tłı̨chǫ Winter Road is more than a pathway; it’s a symbol of connection and opportunity. For families, it means access to essentials. For businesses, it supports economic activity. And for the community, it reinforces resilience and self-reliance.

Our crews are making remarkable progress on the Gamètì North and South sections. Wekweèti crews are gaining traction and it’s coming together beautifully! 

The road remains closed and not yet ready for travel, when everyone stays off the alignment it helps to keep everyone involved safe the construction on schedule.
 

Our trainees are currently immersing themselves in the Introduction to the Mining Industry Program hosted at Ekati Diamond Mine. Over this two-week, 120-hour training, participants are gaining hands-on experience in underground and surface mining, mineral processing, mine safety, and more.

Hosted in partnership with Aurora College, Burgundy Diamond Mines, and Tłı̨chǫ Investment Corporation, the program features expert guest speakers, guided site tours, and an inside look at life in the northern mining industry.

Unlock your potential in the mining industry with our comprehensive, hands-on training program at one of the North’s premier mine sites.

Safety Share #50 - Ice Safety Tips

As crews begin working southward from the communities, we must emphasize that the winter road is closed to all public access. For your safety and the safety of our crews, it is critical that everyone stays off the Right of Way until the road is officially opened. Unauthorized access not only puts lives at risk but also disrupts the construction process.
