Our commitment during construction
Our relationships with the landowners who host our facilities on their property, as well as the communities where we operate are very important to us.
AltaLink instructs all of its employees and contractors about the need to respect our communities, take care of the natural environment – and to drive responsibly. Some of our expectations include:
- Traffic – Traffic control protocols are implemented to restrict construction traffic. Safe driving habits are practiced, including slowing down to reduce dust, blowing snow and the hazards of flying rocks.
- Noise – We work to minimize noise during construction, including scheduling work that may increase noise, like helicopter activity, during certain hours to reduce disruption. We comply with the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) Rule 12 regarding hours of work.
- Garbage – We require our employees and contractors to be aware of the environment at all times and to ensure garbage is contained and later removed from the site.
During the project construction process, AltaLink is committed to being a responsible neighbour in your community.
