BASE extends a heartfelt thank you to the Aseniwuche Winewak Nation for the incredible opportunity to attend the 2024 Traditional Land Use Camp. We had an unforgettable experience—from crafting dream catchers and joining in round dancing to participating in a sweat lodge and learning about the medicinal properties of nature. Thank you once again to the Aseniwuche Winewak Nation for this enriching experience!

🌟 #FeatureFriday: A Hydrogen Derived Renewable Diesel (HDRD) Facility 🌱🚀 Did you know? Hydrogen Derived Renewable Diesel (HDRD) is a groundbreaking fuel made by hydrogenating vegetable oils or animal fats, offering significant environmental benefits compared to conventional diesel. It reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% and boasts a lower carbon intensity. We're thrilled to spotlight a cutting-edge development in renewable energy that BASE was involved in: the design and construction of a new HDRD process facility. This project revolutionizes the industry with its innovative and sustainable approach. At BASE, our geotechnical engineers were essential from the feasibility stage through to detailed design and construction. We conducted extensive site investigations, including borehole drilling, soil resistivity testing, and Multi-channel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) testing. By collaborating with the structural design team, we provided tailored geotechnical foundation recommendations, ensuring the highest standards of safety and stability. Key Services: 👉 Borehole drilling, soil resistivity testing, and MASW testing 👉 Laboratory testing and site preparation 👉 Site drainage, excavation, and shoring 👉 Tank foundation and pile analysis 👉 Slope stability assessment and corrosion potential evaluation Witness the future of renewable energy with this transformative HDRD facility.

🌟 #FeatureFriday: Celebrating a Milestone in County Development 🏞️ We're thrilled to announce the successful completion of the comprehensive update to the County of Minburn No. 27 Land Use Bylaw. This transformative project, spearheaded by BASE, has modernized regulations to better serve residents, landowners, and businesses alike. The updated Bylaw introduces a flexible and contemporary framework that enhances development opportunities across the County. From allowing backyard hens and cryptocurrency operations to promoting agri-tourism and tiny homes, these changes reflect current trends and community aspirations. Streamlining the approval process means quicker turnaround times for stakeholders, reducing bureaucratic barriers while maintaining clarity and accessibility. At BASE, we've simplified the regulatory landscape by consolidating Land Use Districts, ensuring the Bylaw is both coherent and user-friendly. This forward-thinking approach not only supports sustainable growth but also empowers our community with new avenues for personal and economic development. By incorporating contemporary land uses and streamlining regulatory processes, these development policies are not only up to date but also proactive in meeting the needs of the community. Join us in celebrating this milestone achievement in County planning and development. Partner with BASE, and contact Baily Lapp today, for expert services across our Planning Department and beyond, empowering your projects with innovative solutions. 🌱💼 #CountyDevelopment #LandUseBylaw #BASE #SustainableGrowth #CountyofMinburn

🌟 #FeatureFriday: Unveiling the South Peace Regional Archives at Centre 2000! 🏛️ We're thrilled to share a recent accomplishment: the grand opening of the South Peace Regional Archives (SPRA) at Centre 2000! 🎉 As the building design engineers for this transformative project, we're proud to have played a pivotal role in creating a spacious new home that perfectly suits the SPRA's needs. Prior to our collaboration, the SPRA were navigating cramped quarters, with some precious archives stored off-site. Our team tackled the structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering aspects of the project with precision and care, ensuring that every detail was meticulously handled. Working alongside the architectural expertise of PLACE architect, we helped craft a space that's as functional as it is beautiful. ✨ Visitors are greeted by a welcoming lobby and display area, while the expansive reading room offers a peaceful haven for exploration. Need some quiet time? The private reading room calls. Plus, with meeting rooms, archival processing areas, and a state-of-the-art vault storage facility, the SPRA team can now work more efficiently than ever before. We couldn't be prouder of the collaborative effort that brought this vision to life. Cheers to the South Peace Regional Archives on their new home, and here's to many more years of preserving our region's rich history! 🎉 Looking to embark on your next building renovation project? Contact Desmond McGrath, P. Eng., our managing director of Building Design Engineering, for all of your building design needs. #GrandePraire #RegionalArchives #BASE #Centre2000
