United Gulf is working closely with HRM to obtain the necessary rock blasting permit for the Skye Halifax site. Before blasting begins, several key preparatory steps are being completed within the defined project boundary:
- Pre-blast surveys of all affected properties
- Structural inspections of designated heritage properties
- Development of a detailed blasting plan by a third-party consultant
- Installation and continuous monitoring of blast equipment
Once the permit is approved and blasting is scheduled, notices will be hand-delivered to all property owners and businesses within 300 metres of the site. These notices will be distributed at least four days in advance and will include the blasting company’s contact information, the anticipated start date and time, expected duration, and location details.
