R&D into Wood Blocking Remediation Techniques on Failed Wood Piles on Multi-Story Building in the NWT
FY 2019-20 · 2019-06-15
Summary
The long-term goal for the firm is to develop a dynamic engineering based system for monitoring buildings (structures), which are experiencing foundation degradation due to changes in permafrost conditions in the Arctic. Currently, wood pile foundations (from the 1950s and 1960s), used for the majority of buildings in the NWT, have been experiencing failure due to permafrost changes, as well as decay over decades. The issues affect the viability of buildings, safety of occupants, and absorbent costs.
In this phase the firm intends to apply scientific and engineering rigor to understanding the remediation system's as currently used, as well as proposed, primarily surface rot remediation, full pile remediation and various blocking system

Description (French)
L'objectif à long terme de l'entreprise est de développer un système d'ingénierie dynamique pour la surveillance des immeubles (structures) dont les fondations se dégradent en raison des changements des conditions du pergélisol dans l'Arctique. À l'heure actuelle, les fondations sur pieux de bois (des années 1950 et 1960), utilisées pour la majorité des immeubles des T.N.-O., ont connu des ruptures dues aux changements du pergélisol et à la dégradation au fil des décennies. Ces problèmes affectent la viabilité des immeubles, la sécurité des occupants et les coûts absorbants. Au cours de cette phase, l'entreprise a l'intention d'appliquer une rigueur scientifique et technique pour comprendre le système de remédiation tel qu'il est actuellement utilisé, ainsi que le système proposé, principalement la remédiation de la pourriture de surface, la remédiation complète du tas et divers systèmes de blocage.
