The project has received the required blasting permit from Halifax Regional Municipality, and preparations are now underway for the next phase of site work.

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.

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.

When the project’s temporary site office needed to occupy space along Halifax’s downtown bike lane, the team faced a unique challenge: how to maintain safe, uninterrupted access for cyclists while continuing construction activity.

Early preparation is now in progress at the Skye Halifax site as the project moves toward full construction. Crews are completing initial surveying, fencing, and utility coordination to prepare the area for upcoming excavation and foundation work.
