Remote/Cold Climate

Clark Builders has proven time and again that we know how to reduce risk and control construction costs in northern and remote sites. The resulting structures are evidence of our skills. Industrial projects, college campuses, retail and residential complexes, pipeline service facilities, defense installations, and an entire townsite all sit solidly on the landscape of isolated regions such as Yukon, the Northwest Territories, Siberia and the Nevada Desert. Today, with our reputation firmly established, northern and remote construction continue to be one of our corporate mainstays.

Building north of the 60th parallel presents formidable construction challenges and demands. Anticipating technical considerations such as soil instability, extreme cold, limited materials selection and design is crucial to success. Logistics also become challenging, a fact exacerbated by the extremely short building season. On sites far removed from transportation routes and traditional labour pools, project planning must exceed the norm.

The planning and logistics skills learned in remote and cold climate projects prove highly beneficial in all environments. Careful attention to detail often results in efficiencies that enable Clark Builders to surpass project goals and expectations. Thus the expertise gained in Canada's north equips us to meet the challenges of remote construction on a global scale.
