Rock Anchor Installation Underway

The project has received the required blasting permit from Halifax Regional Municipality, and preparations are now underway for the next phase of site work. This stage will involve controlled blasting to advance excavation activities.
Line Drilling Underway
December 3, 2025
Line drilling has officially begun on site. This phase involves drilling a precise series of vertical holes around the perimeter of the project area. These holes establish the clean, vertical faces of the excavation and guide the shape of the cut as work progresses downward.
